"Nike." She said it like I should already know. Like everyone should already know. "Victory herself. The reason warriors pray before battle. The voice that whispers in the hearts of champions when everything looks lost."
I raised an eyebrow. "Okay. Cool entrance. Very dramatic. But I'm guessing you didn't manifest in my dorm room at ass o'clock at night just to introduce yourself."
Her lips curved into something that wasn't quite a smile. "No. I came because you're about to walk into something that will either make you legendary or break you completely. And I have a vested interest in the outcome."
