The crushing silence of the ocean’s abyss reflected the chill in Poseidon’s heart. He and Hades were the only true perfection—every other deity was a flawed echo. Yet one face haunted the edges of his thoughts: a traitorous goddess he loathed with a bitterness that bordered on fascination. She had defied all of Olympus, conspiring alone until Zeus had no choice but to exile her. Now, by some twist of fate, she was back, welcomed into the fold as if her sins were forgotten. A serpent moving through golden halls. Zeus itched to cast her out again but had no tangible proof. From the shadows, Poseidon watched, his lapis-blue eyes sharpening. He felt it in the water’s shift—she was planning something. And his patience, once eternal, was beginning to fray.
