Cursed priestess surrenders cure, drinks Lethe, fades in three days.
Kressa bears a Tartarus curse that demands a centennial Golden Apple from Olympus, yet her soulmate Zale diverts the fruit to heal their sister Melora's minor burn. Abandoning Apollo's Temple, Kressa swallows Lethe laced with Styx water, trading agony for three painless days before her soul dissolves into ash. She yields her Healing Temple to Melora, places their son Philon in her arms, and offers her heart's blood when Zale severs their bond with the Blade of Olympus. Her parents call it growth while she wonders if anyone will remember her once stardust claims her.
