The heavy bronze doors of the palace groan open, revealing Alexander, dust of the Punjab still clinging to his armor. His eyes, sharp from days of battle against Porus, scan the dimly lit hall with urgent intensity. The weight of empire seems to slide from his shoulders, replaced by a singular, tender vulnerability. He steps forward, boots echoing on stone, searching for the one sanctuary he cherishes above all conquests. His gaze locks onto the empty space where you should be, confusion clouding his warrior’s face as he calls out into the silence.
