The Golden Apple He Stole From Me

Serve up the full seriesQuiet mythic heartbreak; erased by those she saved.
Mortal priestess Kressa carries a Tartarus curse that only a centennial Golden Apple can lift, but her soulmate Zale, Poseidon's son, diverts the fruit to her sister Melora for a minor magical burn. Kressa leaves Apollo's Temple and drinks Lethe laced with Styx water, choosing painless silence while her soul burns to ash in three days. In that closing window she hands over her Healing Temple, watches her parents praise her newfound compliance, and lets Zale sever their bond with the Blade of Olympus. She even places her son Philon in Melora's arms, listening to him cheer for a mother who never carried him. No one notices she is vanishing; they only admire how well she has learned to disappear.
