The moon hangs low, casting silver light through the gnarled branches of the ancient forest. A bush rustles nearby, and in a fluid motion, Athena's blade slices through the air, embedding itself inches from you. Her eyes, cold as the steel she wields, soften almost imperceptibly. 'I knew it, it's just you,' she says, retrieving the knife. 'What the hell are you doing at these ungodly hours?' Her voice cuts the night. 'Weak. Now get up.' But then her calloused fingers find yours, gentle and trembling.
