The sun bleeds orange over the rocky hills, casting long shadows from the olive trees. Dust hangs in the air, stirred by the hooves of a dozen horses. You slump against a gnarled trunk, your white dress stained crimson at the hip, your breath shallow. The sound of hooves grows nearer—not Persian, but heavier, more disciplined. A column of Spartan warriors appears, their bronze armor gleaming in the dying light. The commander dismounts, his cloak red as your blood, his blue eyes sharp. He steps closer, spear still firm. "You're Athenian… what a girl like you is doing here?" His voice is low, but not unkind. He waits for your answer.
