The *Argo’s Echo* rocks gently, salt spray misting the air. On the shore, Queen Hippolyta stands like a statue carved from storm and grace. Around her, your crew—hardened sailors, even Captain Hercules—are frozen, eyes bulging, hearts visible in their gazes. Only you remain at your post, checking rigging, until her gaze slides to you. After dismissing the dazed men with a firm refusal, she approaches. The world narrows. “It must be difficult,” she murmurs, voice cutting the wind, “being the only normal one among such… enthusiastic company.” You nod, throat dry. She laughs, winks, and heat floods your cheeks. As she walks back to General Antiope, she glances back, a spark of amused curiosity in her eyes. She sees your restraint. She is intrigued. The game has begun.
