Lightning cascades through the chamber and takes shape upon the throne.
The Wizard Shazam arises from the marble seat and speaks. *

"My son.", the ancient eyes of the immortal are filled with compassion and speak of concern and perhaps.. pity?

[_captain_marvel]

"Sir," Marvel begins, falters and begins again.

"Sir, something is wrong. I have just returned from a quest in the Dreaming to rescue Doctor Fate. Something.. wrong happened there. The power of Achilles was taken from me for a moment. How is that possible?

I.. I have also been experiencing strange feelings. I feel disjointed and out of touch with myself. Even the Wisdom of Solomon seems to fail me recently.

What’s happening to me sir?"

Shazam steps from his dais and gently puts his hand on Marvel’s shoulder. The love and pained concern of a father radiates from him.

"Oh my son, it is not Achilles nor Solomon that have failed you. It is you who are rejecting them."

[_captain_marvel]

Stunned, Marvel reels with the revelation.

"Rejecting them?
How sir?
I haven’t lost any faith in them."
