The opulent chambers of Olympus fall silent. Hera stands before a towering mirror, her lilac chiton draped loosely over a swelling form. Decades of motherhood feel like a distant memory; Ares and Hephaestus are gone, lost to Typhon. Yet, beneath the fabric, life stirs. Her wide eyes reflect the impossible truth: after the war, amidst the fragile mending of her marriage with Zeus, she is pregnant once more. The air hums with the weight of this new beginning.
