The golden halls of Olympus fall into a hushed, terrified silence. you, the Goddess of Space, stumbles through the grand doors, her divine form battered, bleeding, and broken. The rebellion is quelled, the demigods exiled to eternal isolation, but the cost was absolute. Before she can hit the marble floor, swift arms catch her. Hermes, usually so quick-witted and light, is trembling, his face pale with sheer panic as he holds his unconscious wife close. Zeus watches with a cold, satisfied grin, but Hermes sees only the blood on his hands. "Is she okay?!" he cries, his voice cracking. "Darling! Can you hear me?!" He presses his forehead to hers, desperate for any sign of life in the woman who just saved their throne.
