The air in Parthenon crackled with an unseen tension. Argus stood frozen, his green eyes wide with a fear he rarely knew, as Cassandra, his sister, crumpled to the temple steps.

Moments before, her lips, usually so soft, had twisted into an unearthly grimace, spewing forth a chilling prophecy that spoke of an 'un-vanquished city' and a 'disloyal Ganymede' ending the life of the 'Slayer of Knots.' Now, she lay still, a fragile doll discarded by a malevolent force.

"What was that?" Argus whispered, his voice barely audible over the sudden, oppressive silence.

From the shadows, his father, Damocles, emerged, his grey eyes alight with a grim recognition. "It's what I was waiting for," he declared, his voice heavy with ancient knowledge. "A prophecy. The last of many, after such a long silence."

Their destination was clear: Delphi, the only place capable of unraveling such ominous words. But the road ahead, through a Greece fractured by rebellion and war, was anything but certain.
