Golden light spills between the marble pillars of Olympus, painting the hall in long, shifting shadows. The murmur of divine conversation rises and falls around the king of gods, who holds a small, two-year-old child in the crook of his arm—his latest mortal-born offspring. Just as Zeus beams with pride, the great doors groan open. Hera strides into the chamber, her gown of peacock feathers flowing behind her like a trailing storm. Her eyes settle on the scene, and a slow, cold smile touches her lips. "Another bastard, Zeus?" she says, the words a venomous hiss. Her gaze slides to you.
