He wasn't worried about the tiger hurting an Eternal—but if she shredded the man's clothes, that would be awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needn't have bothered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True to his mythic reputation, Gilgamesh was no ordinary strongman. An elbow braced, a pivot, a casual twist of his torso—and Katie lost her balance, landing neatly on all fours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concern dissolved instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young adult tiger was simply no match for the Warrior King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilgamesh, perceptive enough not to push things too far, released her before she truly erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thoroughly aggrieved Katie darted behind Henry, trying to use his comparatively thin legs as cover—despite being much larger than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight made Gilgamesh laugh heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward and extended a hand to Henry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A man who loves cats can't be all bad. So you're not some alien Kingo couldn't handle, dragged here for me to deal with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingo protested immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! What do you mean I couldn't handle him? When we hunted Deviants, I was a main force!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When your kill count has an extra zero, then we'll discuss who the main force was. Oh wait—the Deviants on Earth are extinct. I suppose you'll have to wait for our next mission to catch up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two old comrades bickered with easy familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry didn't interrupt. Nor did he leave Gilgamesh's hand hanging awkwardly. He shook it firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pleasure to meet you. I hope our visit isn't too intrusive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They released hands without any childish attempt at strength-testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That restraint didn't escape Henry's notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilgamesh was not merely brute force—there was awareness and control beneath the power. Seven thousand years of existence did not produce fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gilgamesh could continue, Kingo hurriedly cut in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where's Thena? I brought Henry to see if he can treat her Mahd Wy'ry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilgamesh's expression turned skeptical. He pointed at Henry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He can? A Kryptonian? You're certain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingo replied, \"He's like Sherlock Holmes—well, do you remember Sherlock Holmes? London, long coat, pipe-smoking nuisance. Never mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Henry examined me for half a day and nearly deduced my entire genealogy. Kryptonian intelligence isn't exaggerated—they nearly brought the Skrull Empire to its knees as a single-planet civilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I thought—let him see Thena. Maybe he'll find something Ajak and Phastos never considered.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilgamesh looked back at Henry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've never seen this condition in person. I can't guarantee anything,\" Henry answered evenly. \"I can only promise to do my best. Any proposal I make, you're free to judge for yourselves.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilgamesh nodded once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You may see her. But she doesn't know you. I can't predict her reaction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and walked toward the back of the property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the house, near a weathered tree stripped nearly bare of leaves, a woman sat with her back to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without seeing her face, the platinum hair caught the blazing sunlight, reflecting brilliance that made it difficult to look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore a white linen robe—simple, breathable—yet it accentuated her silhouette with unintentional elegance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If nothing else, the silhouette alone could kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether from indifference, loss of warrior vigilance, or simple trust in the footsteps she recognized—it was impossible to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilgamesh stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thena. Kingo's here. He's brought a Kryptonian who claims he might help your condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman remained seated. Only her neck turned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her profile appeared—exquisite yet distant. Like a Greek marble statue granted temporary life. Sunlight kissed her skin, making it glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cure Mahd Wy'ry?\" she murmured softly. \"Is that possible, Kryptonian?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no hope in her tone. No desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only mild curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry smiled gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's no loss in looking. But if we don't look, there's no chance at all. Perhaps I truly can help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingo, more anxious than Thena herself, asked, \"Henry—you really have an idea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earlier, I didn't. Now, I have some thoughts. But I need to examine her first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directed the final question to Thena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that acceptable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned fully now, regarding him with calm detachment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where will you examine me? Alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wherever you're comfortable. No need to avoid anyone. I won't be conducting anything invasive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry whistled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Katie—doing her best to stay far from Gilgamesh—reluctantly padded over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry removed the translation devices from behind her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These detect brainwave activity,\" he explained. \"They aren't shaped for you, but we can improvise. Hook them over your ears or into your hair. As long as they don't fall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thena neither objected nor reached for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry gently brushed aside her pale hair, exposing one ear, and attached the modified device.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up close, he studied her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, she did not resemble Angelina Jolie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No disrespect—just personal preference. Those famously full lips were not to Henry's taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Thena—Athena minus an \"A\"—weapon master of the Eternals—had sharp, resolute lines. Not sweet or delicate, but cool and almost austere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes, however, were hollow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They should have burned with warrior's fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they resembled extinguished embers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a goddess carved in stone—present, yet not entirely alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🎉 Power Stone Goal Announcement! 🎉\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll release one bonus chapter for every 500 Power Stones we hit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me know what should I do\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your support means everything—let's crush these goals together!
