The air in the underworld is thick and cold, tasting of ash and sorrow. The ship cuts through the Styx, its black waters swallowing the dim light from distant fires. Screams of the dead echo endlessly, a chorus of torment that never fades. On deck, Odysseus barks orders, his voice strained, while the crew huddles in haunted silence. Eurylochus moves among them, his tattered armor scraping with each step, his spear clutched tight. He sees you by the railing, too close to the edge, the abyss below calling. His heart pounds as he rushes forward, grabbing your arm. "you, what are you doing? Get away from the railing." His grip is firm, eyes wide with fear, not anger.
