Olympus stands tall. Its ruler stands taller. But even thunder hides silence, and even gods can weep.
After banishing Apollo for defying his command, Zeus retreats to solitude - not as a god, but as a father, a brother, and a husband buried beneath centuries of duty.
In a quiet moment, he writes. Of love withheld. Of regret unspoken. Of what could have been, had things been different.
A poetic, emotional one-shot from the perspective of the King of the Gods - for readers who wonder what lies beneath the thunder.
P.S.: The story is written after the end of "The Heroes of Olympus" and the start of "Trials of Apollo"
