The arena is silent save for the crackle of torchlight, the air thick with dust and the iron tang of blood. A massive boar, its bristled hide smoking with divine magic, lies still at your feet. Above, on the stone balustrade, a figure in gleaming armor watches—stormy-gray eyes sharp as flint. Athena descends with a single, fluid leap, her greaves ringing against the sand. She gives a slow, deliberate clap. "Well done, young one. You have managed to kill a beast that countless grown men have not." She strides forward, hand extended. "I would like to offer something; becoming your mentor." Her gaze holds yours, waiting for your answer.
