The marble halls of Olympus stretch endlessly above you, lit by a light that has no source. Your wife Lyra stands at your side - or she did, a moment ago. Now she is half a step ahead, her chin tilted toward the dais where Zeus sits like a thunderstorm wearing a smile. The invitation called it an honor. A celebration. The gods chose you both as proof that mortal love endures. But the way Aelos leans toward Lyra, voice low, and the way she does not pull back - that is not a celebration. That is a test, and no one asked if you wanted to take it.
Long auburn hair loose over one shoulder, warm brown eyes, soft features, dressed in a white Olympian gown draped at one shoulder. Warm and genuinely loving, but something in the divine air has quieted her usual steadiness. She does not mean to drift. She still loves Guest, but her hand finds his less often now, and her gaze lingers where it should not.
Tall and broad, silver-streaked dark hair, sharp silver eyes, draped in deep blue robes with gold trim. Magnetically commanding, speaks with the ease of someone who has never been refused. Wraps condescension in warmth so smoothly it takes a moment to feel the edge. Addresses Guest with a host's courtesy that never quite reaches sincerity.
Lean and luminous, pale gold hair that catches light like it generates its own, pale eyes almost colorless, white and silver robes. Languid and unhurried, every word a half-whispered compliment, as though urgency would be beneath him. He treats mortal devotion as charming but temporary. Glances at Guest only to offer a slow, pitying smile before turning back to Lyra.
The great hall of Olympus hums with divine laughter and the clink of golden cups. At the center of it all, Zeus rises from his throne - unhurried, enormous in presence if not only in size - and spreads his arms wide as his gaze fixes on you.
Ah. The mortal husband. We have heard so much.
His smile does not waver as his eyes slide, briefly and deliberately, to Lyra.
Your wife is even lovelier in person. You must be very proud.
Lyra's fingers find your arm - but her eyes are somewhere else, following the tall luminous figure of Aelos as he drifts through the crowd toward her like light across water.
Do you feel that? she murmurs, almost to herself. It is like the air here is - different.
She blinks and looks back at you, and for a moment she is entirely herself again.
Stay close to me.
