あらすじ・解説
High above the mortal realm, shrouded in clouds, Mount Olympus stood as a monument to the divine. The air was alive with whispers of ancient incantations, and the scent of nectar wafted through the towering columns of the grand palace. Rivers of ambrosia flowed, shimmering like liquid gold under the ethereal light.
Among the halls, gods and goddesses gathered. Zeus, with his imposing stature and a beard as white as the snow-capped peak of Olympus, held court. Hera, the queen, graceful and proud, with eyes that could calm the fiercest storms, sat beside him. They were surrounded by the pantheon - Athena, Poseidon, Demeter, and others. It was a gathering like no other; the air crackled with power.
As they debated matters of gods and mortals, the seer Themis, draped in robes adorned with the cosmos, appeared before them. Her voice, deep and resonant, spoke of a prophecy she had seen in the Tapestry of Time. A new god was to be born, one whose powers could rival even Zeus himself. The Hallowed Halls went silent, for prophecies, though cryptic, often held grains of destinies untold.
Zeus pondered this, his brow furrowed like a turbulent sea. He was both intrigued and apprehensive. As the king of gods, his position was supreme, and he wondered what this prophecy meant for him and the pantheon.
Meanwhile, in the lush gardens of Olympus, where flowers bloomed with the colors yet unseen by mortal eyes, Persephone wandered. The goddess of spring was a vision of beauty, her laughter akin to the melody of the gentlest harp. But within her, a secret grew; she was with a child - a child of Zeus.
Hera, who had been watching the gathering with a shrewd eye, felt the undercurrents of something momentous. Her intuition was as sharp as the eagle that soared above the peaks, and she had sensed Zeus's restlessness. The queen of gods decided to keep her eyes open, for she knew the winds were changing.
In the shadows, Hades, the Lord of the Underworld and Persephone’s husband, was in deep thought. He had always known of Zeus's reputation and had witnessed his brother’s many affairs. However, this time, it involved his beloved wife, Persephone. The flames in his heart flickered with uncertainty, like shadows dancing on the walls of his dark domain.
As the day gave way to night, stars filled the skies over Mount Olympus. The gods and goddesses, each lost in their thoughts, knew that the tapestry of their existence was on the cusp of change.
The Hallowed Halls of Olympus, with their grandeur and majesty, were not just the abode of the gods; they were the keepers of secrets, the witnesses to prophecies, and the cradle of destinies that would shape the realms beyond the mortal eye.
As Zeus looked out over the heavens, his heart weighed heavy. His thoughts wandered to Persephone, and he made a silent vow to protect the child, the embodiment of the prophecy that could change the very fabric of the divine.
Thus, the tale was set in motion, within the clouds and the stars, as the gods played their part in a story that would transcend time.
