The Golden Apple He Stole From Me

Disclosure: certain links are commissioned.
A dying priestess surrenders everything after her soulmate steals her cure for their sister's minor burn.
Mortal priestess Kressa bears a Tartarus curse that requires the centennial Golden Apple from Olympus to survive. Her soulmate Zale, Poseidon's son, intercepts the fruit and feeds it to her sister Melora merely to mend a magical burn. With no remedy left, Kressa leaves Apollo's Temple and swallows Lethe laced with Styx water, silencing her agony while condemning her soul to dissolve into ash within three days. In that brief window she relinquishes her Healing Temple to Melora, hands her son Philon over to his aunt, and offers her heart's blood when Zale draws the Blade of Olympus to sever their bond. Her parents, the high priests, praise her newfound compliance, unaware she is fading. No one notices she is dying; they only admire her apparent submission.
