Woodman Casting Athena -
People came from the hills to see, and the village hummed with gossip and small reverence. The elder laid a wreath of fresh apple blossoms at Athena’s bronze foot. The children left feathers. The baker stacked bread in offering like wooden planks stacked against a coming storm. For a while, the village felt steadier, as if the statue’s copper lungs drew breath for all of them.
