Erinyes Game
The next Hemera phase, you wake up with yellow sparks dancing on the edges of your vision. Blinking sparks out of your periphery, you listen carefully for any screams or shouts.
You hear nothing.
Curious, you get dressed and leave your room, heading down to the kitchen. Once there, you greet Hera, Athena, Artemis, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hephaestus and Hermes.
The seven other Olympians beam at the sight of you.
“Hestia, you’re alive!” Aphrodite throws herself into your arms. “That means no one died last night!”
You allow yourself a sincere smile. Maybe things could turn out well, after all.
“Looks like Charon did their job properly,” says Athena, happier than you’ve ever seen her. “They must have protected the right person.”
“Nice to not have to deal with another death first thing in the morning,” says Hephaestus in his quiet voice.
After a surprisingly pleasant breakfast, everyone splits off to do their own thing. Hera wanders off alone again, Athena and Hephaestus head off, the twins walk away arm in arm, and Aphrodite and Hermes wait for you at the kitchen door.
