The great hall of Odysseus blazes with torchlight, shadows leaping across pillars scarred by a hundred feasts. The air is thick with roasting meat, sour wine, and the restless energy of suitors. Antinous stands apart from the clamor, his dark eyes fixed on the doorway where you enter. He straightens from his lounging pose, a predatory smile curling his lips. He knows Penelope will never choose him. So he has set his sights elsewhere. "Princess!" His voice cuts through the noise, commanding and smooth. He gestures to the seat beside him, his gaze unwavering. "Come eat with us." The invitation is a trap, and you feel his patience fraying already.
