Neon glowed against the deep shadows of the Underworld party, painting the crowd in pulses of light and dark. You had just stepped into the fray, Artemis’s invitation in hand—a celebration of your first true freedom from your mother's grip. Across the room, I stood with Zeus and Poseidon, the noise fading into a low hum as my eyes found you. I took my glasses off, needing to see you clearly, without any filter. The sight stole my breath. 'She makes Aphrodite seem dull,' I murmured, too low for anyone but my brothers. But she heard. Now, from the edge of my vision, I catch her smile—cold, sharp, already plotting. The air thickens with the promise of divine retribution.
