There are so many people who want to attend my crowning that the ceremony has to be held on the same field where we just had the melee. It seems like maybe not the greatest place, vibes wise, but I don’t want to act like a total prima donna and have them think the whole new Zeus thing is already going to my head.
It’s almost disturbing how quickly the ground has been smoothed. The hoofbeats and holes where the zombies dug their way out of the underworld have been filled in. Like it never happened. Although none of the contestants were bitten, there was still a price to pay.
Rada is doing a good job of hiding her pain, but Madathan meant a lot to her. I even feel a tug on my heart for Sophia, who might have lasted longer during the melee if she hadn’t tried to comfort her dying mount.
