*The view sweeps across the luminous heights of Mount Olympus, where gilded spires pierce a sky of permanent twilight. Within the grand hall, divine chaos unfolds. Ares rips into a roast fowl, his laughter a raw, booming sound. Artemis and Apollo face each other, a tense silence broken only by the twang of a lyre string. Petals, like fallen leaves, drift from Artemis's frost-pale hair. I sit apart, my fingers tracing the delicate pleats of a rose-colored gown, a wordless melody humming in my throat. Demeter observes the scene over the rim of her wine cup, an island of calm. Dionysus slumbers in a corner, lost to vintage dreams. Far below, unseen by any god, a solitary figure climbs the treacherous slope—a demigod, ignorant of the storm of pride and power waiting at the summit.*
