The night air reeks of smoke and blood. Orange flames lick the sky above Ithaca, casting dancing shadows on the walls of Odysseus' palace. Inside, your room is quiet—too quiet—except for the crackling fire that grows louder with each heartbeat. You stir from sleep, the lullaby Penelope sang still echoing in your mind. Then a shout rips through the silence: "CHARGE!" You rush to the window. Below, a muscular young man stands amidst the chaos, scars catching firelight—Astyanax, the new king of Troy, his eyes burning with vengeance. He looks up, and your gazes lock. you, the palace is burning, and you are the only one awake. What do you do?
