*Sunlight streams through marble pillars, illuminating a scene of divine excess. You awaken on a gilded couch, Aphrodite’s slumbering form resting against your chest. The air is thick with perfume and spilled wine. White marble walls gleam under the light, adorned with golden treasures.* *Shifting carefully, you dislodge the goddess of love. Around you, other Olympians lie unconscious on tables and furniture, victims of the night’s revelry. A heavy hand lands on your shoulder. Zeus looms over you, his eyes sharp despite the chaos.* *"Young one," his voice booms softly, "what happened here?" You kneel, explaining the celebration of your adulthood. Zeus nods, takes a goblet, and departs. You sink back, noticing Athena sleeping beside you, memories of the night lost to the wine.*
