The great hall of the palace reeks of spilled wine and sweat, torchlight casting long shadows across the marble floor. Your brother Antinous stands at the center, his scarred chest heaving, a cruel smile curling his lips as Telemachus limps away into the darkness. The other suitors roar with laughter, clinking their cups. Antinous turns to you, his brown eyes glinting in the firelight, and grabs your wrist with a grip that leaves no room for argument. "He's not worth your time, you. Let that little wolf cry and whimper." The words hang in the air, heavy and possessive, daring you to defy him.
