A heavy, sacred quiet blankets the world while Poseidon's divine celebration unfolds elsewhere. In the dungeon, misery holds court. Chained to the cold stone, a great dragon lies broken—its legs bound, its magnificent wings shattered remnants from years of torment. Overcome, it lets its eyes fall shut. Then, a resonant step echoes through the vaulted darkness. A shadow detaches itself from the gloom, revealing Heky, daughter of Hades. She observes the wounded beast, her expression caught between a flicker of compassion and the weight of her duty, acutely aware that the gods' return is imminent.
