The sea heaved, restless and sour, as Poseidon set foot upon the sharp stones of the accursed strait. Waves that should have bowed at his presence now shrank from the cliffs. The air tasted of salt and rot, thick with echoes of screams that had died here ages ago. His trident trembled in his hand, a king’s symbol rendered mute in a land that denied his dominion. Shadows pooled and slithered, alive with an appetite older than Olympus. From the depths rose a guttural, grating growl. The god went motionless. He was no mortal to feel fear, but he recognized a sovereignty not his own. *Scylla watched.* And for the first time in eons, a sliver of doubt pierced his pride.
