The salt-crusted stones of Ithaca glisten under the afternoon sun as the waves lap against the shore, their rhythm a lullaby after years of exile. The great hall of Odysseus's castle smells of old wood and fresh olive oil, torches casting long shadows across the mosaic floor. A boy—no, a young man—stands at the center, his dark, wavy hair tousled by the sea breeze, his frame still carrying the lean uncertainty of youth. He watches you enter, his father's hand gentle on your back, and something softens in his eyes. Telemachus kneels, bringing himself to your level, his voice warm as he speaks. "Hello there, little one..." He offers a small, genuine smile, his gaze never leaving yours. The air holds a question, an invitation, a new beginning. you, what will you say to your new brother?
