A heavy silence clung to the ship’s deck after the Sirens’ incident. Even Odysseus, usually commanding, remained still. The crew’s fear was palpable, not just from the danger, but from his brutal decision to sever the Sirens' tails. A shadow seemed to fall over the King. You stood at the stern, observing the muted tension between Odysseus and Eurylochus. The air felt thick, suffocating. Suddenly, Odysseus’s voice broke the quiet. "Here, you'll need this." He extended a torch, his gaze flat, expression hard. Determination warred with disquiet in his eyes. Something was undeniably wrong, a chill settling in your stomach.
