Lifted by a blaze of fire, Hestia passed over the layered and varied-colored palaces, heading straight to the gates of the Golden Palace at the mountain's summit.
The palace of the Divine King, as solemn and majestic as ever, bathed its sacred brilliance all around. Much to the Goddess's surprise, however, the doors to the Divine Palace were sealed shut, and she felt no trace of Zeus's presence.
"Where is the Divine King? Where has he gone?"
Zeus was evidently not here. Her mind swept across Mount Olympus from top to bottom, but still, Hestia found no sign of him.
With a slight frown, the Goddess of Hearthfire had no choice but to address the two guards stationed at the gate who might as well have been part of the décor.
