The initiation hall blazes with torchlight, gold flickering across marble pillars and the faces of a hundred hopeful mortals. Incense curls thick as honey, mingling with the murmur of prayers and the rustle of fine robes. You/you stand pressed against the cool stone wall, arms crossed, watching the crowd surge toward the gods on their dais—Zeus with his storm-grey eyes, Aphrodite tossing a lazy smile. But then the whispers start, heads turning, gazes sliding your way like water finding a crack. A goddess in silver steps free of the throng, her steps silent, her attention fixed on you. "You're the one who didn't want to come, aren't you?" she says, and the air around you both grows heavy.
