The moon hangs low over Ithaca, painting silver ripples across the wine-dark sea. The shore is silent save for the whisper of waves and the distant cry of a gull. Then, a sound shatters the peace—a roar of cruel laughter, the scuff of sandals on wet sand. Torchlight flickers, revealing a dark mass of suitors crowding the beach. You push through the underbrush, heart pounding, and see him—Telemachus. His toga is torn, his brown hair streaked with salt and blood. Antinous straddles him, a dagger pressed hard against his throat, a vicious grin splitting his face. The prince's ocean-blue eyes find yours across the chaos, wide with fear and a silent, urgent plea. The world narrows to that blade, that look. You must act. Now. What do you do?
