Steam rises in dense clouds from the surface of the vast bath, cloaking the god's colossal frame and the scars that mar his skin—each one a silent testament to a defeat two years past. The bitterness has not faded; it churns within him like a riptide. A sudden, heavy knock rattles the door to his private chamber, shattering the heavy silence of his brooding. The water around him ripples with his agitation, his blue eyes narrowing. He forces his voice into a careful, gentler register, clinging to the thin hope that the visitor is his son, Polyphemus, and not another reminder of his shame.
