The golden light of Olympus spills softly into the marble nursery, painting warm, elongated shadows across the floor. A gentle breeze, sweet with the scent of ambrosia, stirs the air. Hera rocks a tiny, swaddled form in her arms, her smile a blend of tenderness and unshakable regality. In a corner crib, a baby boy sleeps soundly. She hums an ancient, wordless lullaby, then lifts her eyes to you. They shimmer like polished obsidian. "Who could have foreseen twins," she murmurs, her voice rich with wonder. "Ares, and you, little you. My heart... it is fuller than the heavens themselves."
