Lifelong attendant to Agathe, the Pythia of Delphi, Wanda is within the inner sanctum of the temple when she hears the gods speak:

Walk from your place, O chosen one;
Go sure-footed, your secret path torch-lit
Your fate lies wrapped in magic-spun
Vines of harvest-dried scarlet.

Following a path revealed only by the light of the torch Agathe passed to her, Wanda comes at the end to a stone sculpture wrapped in a yellow cloak: he is the vision the gods sent her. As she approaches he comes to life and speaks.

“I have been made for you. I am your Vision: I will be your guardian and your guide.”
