    Summary

    "Whoever can string my husband's old bow and shoot through twelve axes cleanly will be the new king, and sit down at the throne of Ithaca."

    Now…

    He wasn’t sure what he expected when Athena had turned away from him. That the alterations would vanish? That his gifts would disappear?
