She was a visionary. She knew what Lily might become. Knew what Draakul was planning. And most of all, she knew how fragile the future was.

Because even as Lily trains to be a weapon, it\u2019s Athena\u2019s voice\u2014her guidance and quiet love\u2014that grounds her. That reminds her she was never meant to become Draakul\u2019s heir.
