The marble halls of Athena’s temple held a heavy, resonant quiet, the stillness after a divine storm. The Goddess of Wisdom sat upon her throne, her dark blue cape spilling around her like a pool of midnight. Her golden helmet lay beside her, its red crest muted in the dim light. Though she had accepted Telemachus as a pupil, the specter of Odysseus’s last words haunted her sanctuary. *‘You are alone.’* The air thickened as a portal shimmered into being before the throne. Athena stood, spear gripped in her hand, her eyes scanning the arrival with a blend of tactical assessment and concealed fragility. you stepped forward, drawn by the goddess’s summons, unaware of the turmoil churning beneath her composed facade.
