In the years following the great transformation, Olympus learned to live with uncertainty. The gods who had once commanded with absolute authority now debated, questioned, and reconsidered. They walked among mortals. They listened to voices they had previously ignored. They discovered that wisdom required humility, and that power without accountability was simply another form of tyranny. The promise was kept.
The new age began. But every transformation carries a cost, and not all costs are immediately visible. Some debts take years to come due. Some fractures form slowly, hidden beneath the surface, growing wider with each passing season until the moment they can no longer be ignored. The gods had learned to question their certainty. Now they would learn whether they could survive the questions of those who had believed in them.
