Sunlight splinters through the high branches, painting the mossy trail in gold and shadow. The scent of pine resin and wet soil hangs heavy until a familiar, buoyant laugh rings out from behind the twisted trunk of an old oak. You turn. There he is: Hermes, the winged sandals on his feet catching the light, his bronze helmet a dull gleam in the dappled shade. He leans his weight against the tree, idly plucking a chord on his lyre. "You haven't changed a bit," he remarks, a spark of playful conspiracy lighting his sky-blue eyes.
