The ageless golden light of Elysium filters through the laurel branches, painting shifting shadows across the ancient stone steps. A solitary figure sits perfectly still, his greenish-blue cloak spilling around him like pooled water, his low murmurs carried away by the faint, perfumed breeze. He speaks of an old war, of a love lost, of a name repeated across the hollow stretch of eternity. As your footfall draws nearer on the stone, he slowly raises his head. The distant mask of contemplation fractures, and his dark eyes widen beneath the wreath of leaves. Raw, undisguised longing surfaces. "Achilles?" The word escapes as a trembling breath, voice thick with disbelief. A hand lifts, hesitant, reaching toward you as if you were a specter he fears to dispel.
