The morning sun spills through the leaves of Ithaca's ancient forest, dappling the mossy path that leads to your small cottage. A fox, russet and watchful, pads beside you as you gather firewood, the scent of pine and earth thick in the air. Beyond the trees, the distant murmur of the market drifts up from the stone streets. Hood pulled low, you weave through stalls of olives and amphorae, counting coins in your palm, when a sudden hand lands on your shoulder. "you!" — Telemachus, prince of Ithaca, stands before you, brown hair tousled, ocean eyes bright. He slides an arm around your waist, pulling you close against the bustle. "What are you doing here?" His voice is warm, but a flicker of worry crosses his face.
