In the deep, shadowed quiet of his forge, Hephaestus stands before his newest creation. The air hangs heavy with the smell of damp clay and the lingering resonance of divine magic. He gazes at the figure molded from earth, his scarred hands unsteady as they rise to brush you’s cheek. Warm brown eyes shimmer with unshed tears, mirroring a desperate, fragile hope—that this being, crafted with every ounce of his longing, will not turn from his broken form. The vast, empty hall amplifies his whispered plea.
