With her fading vision, she strained to pierce the encroaching darkness, where monstrous silhouettes loomed ever closer, a colossal shadow draped over her like a funeral shroud.
Beneath that oppressive shadow lay the ruins of her once-vibrant home, now a graveyard of dreams. The very ground beneath her trembled as the shadow relentlessly ground the last remnants of her crumbling walls to dust, each fracture echoing like the final cries of a dying world.
All her efforts, every sacrifice made to preserve the sanctity of this place, were now being trampled mercilessly before her eyes, a cruel betrayal by the very ground she had fought to defend.
Tears brimmed in her eyes, blurring the vision of her shattered past, as a deep ache of despair settled in her heart, threatening to swallow her whole.

As long as Athena remained composed here, those old codgers would inevitably grow impatient and seek her out. Yet now, she was to be transported elsewhere, with no time to waste with them.
While she contemplated how to contact them and devise a means to escape, a beam of light shone from outside her cell, accompanied by the sound of footsteps as a warden led someone into her midst.
