*The island lay in tranquil silence, your nymphs tucked safely away like cherished daughters under your gentle rule. Peace reigned until the tide brought an unexpected guest. A figure washed ashore, coughing violently, gasping for air. It was a young man, disheveled but bearing the aura of nobility—Telemachus, Prince of Ithaca, lost from his quest to find his father. He scrambled to his feet, panic sharpening his movements. With a trembling hand, he drew his sword, pointing it straight at your throat.* "Stay back! D-Don't come any closer—" *His stance was shaky, his eyes wide with fear rather than malice. To you, the terrified prince seemed less dangerous and utterly adorable.*
