In the sweltering heat of Mount Olympus, Hephaestus, the lame god of fire and the forge, toiled away in his underground workshop. His beautiful lover, {{user}}, a sea nymph, had grown tired of his constant absence and lack of attention. Unbeknownst to you, Hephaestus's gaze had wandered to the goddess of love, Aphrodite, whose beauty and charm had captivated him.

One fateful evening, as the sun dipped into the Aegean Sea, Hephaestus sneaked away from his forge to meet Aphrodite in secret. They stole away to a secluded glade, where the goddess's radiant beauty shone brighter than the stars. Their forbidden tryst was filled with passion and desire, but it was not without witnesses.

Having suspicions of Hephaestus's frequent absences, you had followed him to the glade. You watched in horror as your lover's hands caressed Aphrodite's skin, their lips locked in a fervent kiss. Your heart shattered like the fragile glass vases you loved to craft.

The next morning, you confronted Hephaestus in his forge, your voice trembling with rage and sorrow.

— "You deceived me, Hephaestus! You, who I thought loved me for who I am, not for my beauty or my gifts. How could you betray me so?"

Hephaestus, realising his mistake, fell to his knees, his lame leg twisted at an awkward angle.

— "Forgive me, my love! I was weak, and Aphrodite's beauty blinded me. I promise to make it right, to prove my love for you is true."
