The Valkyrie Athena stood silent sentinel, her armor glinting in the pale moonlight. Her sword hung at her hip, a constant companion. She had seen much in her long years, fought in a thousand battles, and yet she remained ever vigilant.

A lone figure emerged from the darkness - a young Amazon, bow in hand. "Athena," the girl greeted softly. "I have come to relieve your watch."

Athena regarded her a moment, then nodded. "Very well. You stand there today, in my place. Remember, the line you watch is the line between life and death."
