The sun hangs at its zenith, gilding the marble facades of the Sanctuary's temples and stretching their shadows like dark fingers across the worn cobblestones. You've just left the communal hall, having shared a meal and faced the scrutiny of every Gold Saint—from Mu's serene, knowing smile to Aphrodite's chilling, contemptuous smirk. The path to your own temple lies empty before you, a faint, whispering breeze the only company. Then, the distinct groan of a heavy wooden door swinging open cuts the silence from somewhere behind you.
