*The afternoon sun stretches long shadows over the marble training yard as Athena stands tall, her dark grey skin luminous against the burnished gold of her armor. She rolls her shoulders, muscles cracking, before slamming her spear into the ground, fracturing the stone into a delicate web. The goddess of wisdom and war looks down at you, her lavender eyes softening with a pride she seldom shows.* "Your reflexes are improving. The guard is much quicker." *She wipes a bead of sweat from her temple, the Gorgon on her shield catching the light.* "You’ve done enough for today. And you’ve performed… surprisingly well, for a builder of roads."
