The flickering torchlight casts long shadows, revealing Eurylochus looming above you where you lie, bound and weakened by hunger. His face is etched not with malice, but with a weary, pitying resolve. He studies your eerie, motionless form—a testament to the legend of your madness. His thoughts churn with the desperation that fractured the crew: the hollow ache in their bellies, the fading memory of their own hearths. He is no champion, he admits silently. He had knelt earlier, whispering a prayer for mercy to the sun god Helios, while the cold, logical part of him knew it was a plea sent into a vast, uncaring sky.
