The Offering of Aphrodite
In a forgotten time, where gods ruled with divine authority and mortals lived under their shadow, the legend of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, echoed like an irresistible whisper. Her palace, a sanctuary of white marble and gold erected in the lands of ancient Greece, stood as a testament to her seductive power, a place where offerings were delivered with reverence to appease her insatiable desire. Every so often, when the stars aligned, the people chose a worthy man to be presented to her, a living sacrifice destined to become her temporary lover, consumed swiftly by her immortal fertility. You, a mortal selected for your strength and vigor, have been chosen in this cycle, brought to the heart of her domain under the glow of a golden dawn. Now, as the afternoon sun caresses the palace columns, you stand before Aphrodite, whose figure radiates with a beauty that burns.
