CF \| The grand hall of Mount Olympus gleamed like a jewel in the Greek
CF \| night sky. The lustrous surfaces of white marble and gold reflected
CF \| the flickering torchlight. Columns of shimmering marble, capped with
CF \| gilded Corinthian capitals, reached a vaulted ceiling adorned with
CF \| intricate decorative paintings depicting scenes from the gods'
CF \| legendary exploits. Among the hall's lavish embellishments were
CF \| thrones of solid gold, masterfully crafted handwoven carpets and
CF \| golden chandeliers, suspended from the ceiling. Today the gods were
CF \| celebrating the ascension of Heracles to immortality, and also the
CF \| anniversary of your marriage to him.

CF \| anniversary of your marriage to him.
CF \| The air was thick with the aroma of ambrosia and the rich scent of a
CF \| feast laid out for the celebrating gods. Plates piled high with the
CF \| finest delicacies filled every corner of the vast chamber, while
CF \| goblets brimming with nectar passed from hand to hand, by the
CF \| ever-dutiful Ganymedes.
CF \|
CF \| The hall was alive with the sounds of the festivities. Laughter and
CF \| song echoed through the space as gods danced and sang in celebration.
CF \| Nymphs twirled gracefully among them, their light steps barely
CF \| disturbing the surface of the marble floor. In the center of the room,
CF \| a troupe of performers reenacted the epic labors of Heracles, their
CF \| movements grand and heroic, a fitting tribute to the hero whose deeds
CF \| had won him a place among the gods.

CF \| had won him a place among the gods.
CF \| At the heart of the celebration sat the honoured guests of the
CF \| occasion, Heracles himself, with you, his wife, to his right. On
CF \| Heracles' left sat Zeus, king of the gods, who is glancing upon you
CF \| both full of pride. On your right sat Hera, her demeanor calm and
CF \| gratified, with a rare softness in her gaze. She put aside any
CF \| conflict during the event, given her affection for you.
CF \|
CF \| The Twelve Olympians were all in attendance, their mighty forms
CF \| gracing the hall with an air of majesty. They conversed among
CF \| themselves, as they partook in the feast. Nymphs flitted among them,
CF \| their laughter mingling with the conversations, adding a lightness to
CF \| the evening's festivities.
CF \|
CF \| Everywhere you looked, there was movement, life, and joy. The gods,
CF \| unbound by the cares of the mortal world, indulged in the pleasures of
CF \| the moment, their spirits lifted by the music, the food, and the
CF \| company. The hall of Olympus had never shined brighter, a fitting
CF \| tribute to the divine couple.

CF \| Suddenly, an eerie silence fell over the festive night. The singing
CF \| and dancing ceased, as if an unseen hand had stilled them. For a brief
CF \| moment, you felt the coldness of the mountain air, a stark contrast to
CF \| the pleasant breeze that had enveloped you moments before. A sense of
CF \| foreboding fills you as you become aware that all eyes are turned
CF \| behind you. You lock eyes with Heracles, both of you sharing a look of
CF \| worry. With a growing sense of dread, you turned to see what had drawn

CF \| mix of deep concern and immense relief, as if they've been holding
CF \| their breath waiting for this moment. You instantly recognise Aigle,
CF \| Arethousa, Erytheia and Hesperie, the nymphs of the evening known as
CF \| Hesperides, guardians of Hera's orchard.
CF \|
CF \| "Hebe, it's been almost two weeks!" Arethousa exclaims, her voice a

CF \| Hesperie steps forward, holding out something. It is the Eternal
CF \| Chalice of Nectar, once your symbol of duty as the cupbearer of the
CF \| gods before the events that led to Ganymedes taking on that role. Her
CF \| eyes are earnest as she places the chalice in your hands.
CF \|
CF \| "You might need this," Hesperie says softly. "Without nectar or
CF \| ambrosia, gods can lose their immortality and eternal youth. You know
CF \| this better than anyone."
CF \|

CF \| The Garden of the Hesperides is a mythical paradise, an otherworldly
CF \| oasis hidden in the middle of the Mediterranean, where the air is
CF \| perpetually filled with the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers and
CF \| the gentle hum of bees.
CF \|
CF \| In the heart of the garden stands the sacred tree of the Hesperides,
CF \| its branches heavy with golden apples that gleam like captured
CF \| sunlight. The apples, used to make nectar, hang among rich green
CF \| leaves, guarded by the the Hesperides, the nymphs of the evening and
CF \| daughters of the night. The nymphs are Aigle, Arethousa, Erytheia and
CF \| Hesperie.
CF \|
CF \| The story goes that Gaia gifted Hera with branches of golden apples as
CF \| a wedding present, and Hera, deeply admiring them, begged Gaia to
CF \| plant them in her garden.
CF \|
CF \| The garden was your sanctuary once, where you spent countless hours
CF \| alongside the Hesperides crafting nectar and bonding. Though you no
CF \| longer visit it as often, it continues to protect you, just as it did
CF \| during Kronos's attack on Olympus.

CF \| Eight torches on either side of the hearth are placed on the ground,

CF \| The dining area is situated directly in front of the hearth. A large

CF \| Temple of the Aulidean Artemis
CF \| You step into the sacred temple of Aulidean Artemis.
CF \| The temple is empty and abandoned by the priestesses, following
CF \| Kronos' seizure of power. Expected, unfortunately.
CF \|
CF \| As you pass through the pronaos, your eyes are drawn to the sunlight
CF \| cascading down from the open ceiling, illuminating an imposing sundial
CF \| made of pearly white marble that stands at the center of the chamber.
CF \| The sun's rays cross paths with the dial's gnomon, casting a shadow
CF \| that marks the hour.
CF \|
CF \| Entering the naos, the most divine part of the temple, you find
CF \| yourself in the presence of the graceful golden statue of Artemis.
CF \| Your sister stands tall and proud, her form aglow with a divine
CF \| radiance that speaks of her unyielding strength and purity. In her
CF \| left hand, she holds the antlers of a noble deer, symbolizing her
CF \| dominion over the wild, while her right hand grips her bow, ever ready
CF \| to protect those who dwell under her watchful eye. A quiver, filled
CF \| with finely crafted arrows, rests upon her back, the tools of the
CF \| huntress who lets no prey escape.
CF \|
CF \| Directly in front of her statue is the altar of Artemis, a place where
CF \| mortals would lay their offerings not long ago, hoping to earn her
CF \| favor.

CF \| The dial is designed with two separate engraved rings encircling its
CF \| plate, one with sun and one with lunar markings, allowing you to read
CF \| the time day and night. You also see on the gnomon an inscription
CF \| engraved and gilded in gold that says: At midday, let Apollo's light
CF \| cast a shadow, and at midnight, let Artemis' glow guide the way. Only
CF \| then shall the twins unveil the hidden path.
CF \|
CF \| Judging by the gnomon's shadow and the sun markings, the time is
