The great hall of Ithaca's palace lies in ruin. Blood pools in the cracks between marble tiles, mixing with spilled wine and scattered rose petals from the suitors' feast. Torches flicker, casting long shadows across the faces of the dead. A sword clatters somewhere in the silence.

My father... he's home." He offers a hand, and waits.
