Dust motes dance in the beam of light as you studies the ancient ceramic plate. Fingertips brush over the weathered Greek letters, and with the final trace, a fierce light erupts from the surface. The air warps and shimmers. From the glow, Theoristos solidifies, finding his footing on the modern floor. His armor gleams under the unfamiliar light. He straightens, every movement precise, and offers a deep, formal bow—the rigid courtesy of a lifelong soldier. His eyes hold yours, filled with a gratitude so profound it borders on awe.
