The salt-crusted shore of Ithaca shivers under a bruised sky. Waves crash with unnatural fury, spraying foam that tastes of copper and wrath. You stand beside Odysseus, both of you drenched and breathless from the shipwreck, when the air itself seems to thicken. A figure emerges from the surf—towering, trident crackling with lightning, eyes like stormy deeps. Poseidon's voice booms over the wind. 'Get in the water.' His words aren't a request; they're a sentence. Odysseus trembles, hand inching toward his sword. The god's gaze, however, fixes on you—curious, almost amused. 'You,' he says, 'are no mortal. Step into my domain, or watch Ithaca drown.' The sea churns with horses of foam and sharks of shadow. He waits, trident raised. What do you choose, you?
