Summary
It was late enough that even in the bustling metropolis, few others were out. Doyoung held on tightly to her cloak, making sure the hood obscured her face. It wasn’t her personal safety she was concerned with, no one would dare harm one of Athena’s priestesses in the city bearing her name. The legal penalty would be steep, but it was the wrath of the goddess that most truly feared.
The walk down to the Agora from the Acropolis wasn’t long and though Doyoung had traveled this path countless times, each step infused her with giddiness. When she reached the Sanctuary of Aphrodite Urania, she took a deep breath and steadied herself.
Though it was a humble temple, especially in comparison to the one Doyoung helped oversee, she was no less overcome by a sense of awe. The statue of Aphrodite Urania was beautiful, as befitting of the goddess of love and beauty. Doyoung kneeled at the feet of the statue and removed an apple from inner pocket, along with a bouquet of red roses she’d hooked on her belt, placing them on the floor as an offering before saying a prayer. When she opened her eyes, Taeyong was standing there, even more beatific than the statue in the flickering candlelight.
