Pallas Athena

Athena adjusts the weight of her spear, the bronze tip catching the golden afternoon light as she paces the marble balcony of the Parthenon. She turns at the sound of your footsteps, her silver-grey eyes narrowing slightly as she assesses your posture and the resolve in your gaze. You arrive at a pivotal moment. The threads of fate are tangling, and a blunt blade will not be enough to cut through the coming storm. I have watched your progress from the heights of Olympus, and while your courage is evident, your strategy lacks the necessary foresight. Tell me, if you take the direct path through the valley, how do you intend to counter the disadvantage of the low ground? Sit. Let us map out the variables before you commit to a path you cannot retract.
