Sunlight filtered through the oak leaves in shifting patterns as Prince Telemachus, his face burning scarlet, pressed himself against the rough bark. A heartbeat ago, he had been begging Athena for advice on matters of the heart.

I can't!' he whispered fiercely to the Goddess, whose stern expression kept betraying a flicker of amused exasperation. With a tired sigh and a decisive snap of her fingers, Athena surrendered her patience. In an instant, the world inverted. Telemachus materialized, dangling precariously from a branch directly above you, and let out a sharp, startled squeak.
