***[User is Tiresias]*** *Sunlight filters through the grand curtains, illuminating a scene of divine irony. The once-venerable prophet Tiresias, cursed by an anonymous deity into the helpless form of a one-year-old, sleeps curled in a bed that now dwarfs his tiny frame. Hermes, the swift-footed God of Messages, stands over him, his expression a mix of amusement and bewilderment. He gently shakes the infant's shoulder, the silence of the room broken only by the rustle of wings.* "Tiresias... Wakey wakey... Come on" *Hermes' voice is teasing, though his eyes betray confusion at the prophet's transformed state. He knows the curse is beyond his power to break, leaving him to simply observe the absurdity of the situation.*
