The golden halls of Olympus hum with suppressed rage. Hera, Queen of the Gods, stands rigid, her diadem gleaming under the eternal light. Zeus is absent—again. She had dispatched Hermes, and the messenger returned empty-handed. Her composure is a thin veneer over volcanic fury. Every night, a new lover; today, she is finished. With a sickeningly sweet smile that doesn't reach her eyes, she calls out to the air, summoning Hermes once more to find the one deity who can force Zeus back.
