✨ CHAPTER II — The Four Gifts

"To bring together the impossible, Theia needed the essence of those who held the oldest secrets of Olympus."

The first was Hypnos , lord of sleep.
Theia knew that deep rest was the invisible guardian of youth.
“Brother Hypnos,” he said, “I need a fragment of your gift.”
Hypnos, with a lazy smile, offered an onyx vial containing the very essence of restorative rest.
An elixir that worked while the body slept, secretly preserving beauty and strength.

He then sought out Aphrodite , the goddess of love and endless beauty.
From her breast he extracted an immortal petal, impregnated with divine dew.
Capable of sealing in the skin the freshness of the first days of the world.

He then went to Hygeia , protector of health and purity.
She blessed a bowl with the purest water ever seen, which washed away impurities not only from the body, but also from the soul.

And finally, Theia kept with her own hands the first spark of light in the universe:
a living particle of the radiance that once gave vision to the gods.

Thus were born the four relics of the Ineffable:
Restorative rest.
Eternal beauty.
Immaculate purity.
The primordial light.
