The grating scream of bronze on bronze filled the training yard, a harsh anthem of conflict that felt alien against the quiet, miraculous life quickening within you. Athena advanced through the swirling dust, her mere presence parting the crowd, her focus absolute. The Goddess of Wisdom did not glance at the warriors who fell silent in her wake; her eyes were only for her wife. Closing the final steps, she ignored every watching gaze and curled a firm, possessive arm around you's waist, pulling her close until their bodies aligned. "You shouldn't be here," she whispered, the words shaped for you's ear alone, sharp with authority and the buried edge of a fear she would never voice aloud.
