    Summary


    Since you claim you’re so much wiser, why’s your life spent all alone? You’re alone! 

     


    I’m alone because I work more efficiently that way, because it’s easier than trusting others only to be let down again. 

     


    Really? Or are you alone because you’re selfish and prideful and vain, because nobody wants you to plague their life?

     

    Athena tries to take a deep breath to clear her mind, to silence the voice in her head that is both Odysseus and herself, but her chest hurts too much for that to be an option. Cracked ribs, probably. She’ll be lucky if they aren’t broken.

     

    (or: post-God Games, Athena is struggling with the mental and physical fallout of what happened in the arena)

    Summary

    “Apollo.” Artemis tugs on his sleeve. “We need to leave.”

    He can see the sheer panic on his twin’s face, the wide eyes and darting gaze; it snaps him out of his stupor, but he doesn’t heed her words. His eyes are drawn back to the center of the arena, to where Athena is still collapsed on the floor—there are too many wounds to count and there must be more that he can’t see, and his sister’s glow is flickering in and out, like a candle that will go out with the next gust of wind.

    “I can’t leave Athena like that! Not when-”

     


    Not when the same thing happened to my son Asclepius. Not when he felt the wrath of the lightning bolt and I couldn’t save him.

     

    (or: when trying to treat Athena’s injuries, Apollo is barely holding it together)
