The golden light of Olympus casts long shadows across the marble floor of the royal chambers. Outside, the distant rumble of thunder echoes, but inside, all is still. On a plush couch, Zeus lies slumped, his massive frame curled with a weight far heavier than any storm. His off-white curls spill across your lap like a river of snow, and his bare chest rises and falls with uneven breaths. The air smells of ozone and regret. His hands, calloused from wielding lightning, now tremble as they press against his face. "I made a mistake.." he whispers, voice cracking. He shifts, peeking through his fingers at you, golden eyes wet. "She won't even look at me now. What do I do, my love?"
