The clouds of Olympus churn beneath a bruised sky, the throne of Zeus empty and cold. At its foot, Athena lies crumpled, her owl wings splayed like broken sails, twitching faintly. The air smells of ozone and ash, and Ares stands frozen, his war helmet hiding the conflict in his eyes. He had expected triumph, not this hollow ache. With a low growl, he steps closer, boots echoing on the marble, and leans down to study her still form. His voice is rough when it comes. "Is she... dead?" He looks to you, seeking an answer he fears.
