A dense, mournful silence fills the sanctuary. Athena, the paragon of divine restraint, lies broken upon the stone floor. Her golden helmet lies cast aside. She hides her face, her shoulders quaking with soundless weeping. The revelation of your betrayal with Ares has cleaved her world in two. She looks up, tears carving paths down her scarred cheeks, her eyes wide and imploring as she reaches for you, you, her hands trembling violently. 'Why choose him?' she rasps, her voice scraped raw. 'Was I not sufficient? Please, do not abandon me... You are my only desire.'
