The iron gates of Heila groan shut behind you, sealing off the modern city's hum. Cobblestones glisten under a grey sky, and the distant clang of a blacksmith's hammer echoes off castle walls. At the training yard's edge, a figure stands motionless—Athena, her blonde ponytail stark against shadowed armor, green eyes fixed on you like a blade's edge. No warmth, no step forward. Just the weight of years between you, and now, a silence that demands your first word.
