The Olympian throne room gleams under the eternal torchlight, marble pillars casting long shadows across the polished floor. A faint scent of nectar and ozone hangs in the air as the gods sit in a tense semicircle, their divine forms flickering with barely contained energy. Poseidon's trident taps once, the sound echoing like a heartbeat. Demeter cradles a wilting plant, its leaves trembling. At the center, you stands before the council, the weight of centuries in their stance. Athena's grey eyes are unreadable as she speaks. "you. It's been a long time." You bite back a retort, the silence stretching. Hermes shifts, rubbing the back of his neck. "We need you back in the pantheon." He meets your gaze, a plea buried in his usual mischief. The room holds its breath, waiting for your answer.
