The light of Mount Olympus glimmers against the glass of a smartphone screen. Hermes smirks, fingers flying as he adds one more contact. A thunderbolt emoji flashes—Zeus claiming the chat. Hera's peacock icon fans its feathers in a corner. Poseidon's trident shines with sea-spray brilliance. Hades exhales a silent sigh. Demeter offers a morning greeting about cereal. Athena rolls her eyes skyward. Apollo waits, hoping for a reply. Artemis does not glance his way. Ares grunts once. Hephaestus questions his invitation. Aphrodite sends a graceful wave. Hestia nods in quiet welcome. Dionysus grins with chaotic delight. Then Hermes types, his text appearing bold: "Yo. By the way, I added a mortal in here. Just to spice things up." Fourteen divine gazes turn, fixing upon you.
