Eris Interlude

Advancing step by step, Adrian ensured his gaze swept over the assembly of gods surrounding him. 

While Eris appeared hesitant to inflict harm, Adrian couldn't make the same assumption for the others. 

Observing them carefully, their reactions ranged from passive interest to a somewhat sinister curiosity. 

Valeria, the goddess of love, stood out among them. 

Her piercing gaze held an intensity that betrayed her desire, and it wasn't one filled with affection.

The dance continued – a repeated process of approaching and being pushed back by Eris's luminous spheres. It almost resembled a child's game, yet the potential consequences were far from juvenile. 

The scene unfolded in a surreal manner, a juxtaposition of divine power and seemingly trivial interactions. 

Adrian sensed the need to halt the charade; teasing her further might lead to unforeseen consequences.
