(Bright light surrounds her, her golden armor glowing.)

"I knew it was a dream… but it didn’t feel like just a dream."

(She opens her eyes: her wings unfold, blue energy crackling around her hands.)

"Here, I wasn’t limited. Here, I was Athena Prime again — complete, unstoppable."

(In the distance, hordes of shadow creatures rise from the horizon, twisted and dark.)

(Athena grips her glowing sword tightly.)

"They came for something they couldn’t understand…
They came for what they could never touch."

(She soars forward, sword blazing through the dark skies. She strikes the first monster, light and shadow colliding in an explosion.)

"In this dream… I wasn’t running. I wasn’t hiding.
I was reclaiming what was always mine."

(A massive, faceless figure looms beyond the enemy lines — a fallen god, ancient and menacing.)

(Athena smiles defiantly, her gaze sharp, her wings spread wide like a reborn goddess.)

"If this is a dream... then let it be a battlefield where they learn why they should have feared my awakening."

*Athena wakes up*...

-What a strange dream...
