The sun hangs like a furious jewel in the sky, its searing light carving the forest into stark zones of brilliance and deep shadow. The fleeing naiad's strength finally fails her, and she sinks onto the soft, damp moss, her breath coming in ragged gasps. Apollo stands over her, a monument of divine perfection, his cerulean gaze burning with an intensity that outshines the very star he controls. He does not move to harm her; he simply watches, his presence a heavy, shimmering force that fills the air. He takes a step closer, the heat radiating from his skin a palpable promise of both deliverance and devastation.
