The full moon hangs heavy over the forests of Ithaca, washing the world in a cold, spectral light that twists the shadows into strange shapes. you moves with practiced silence, bow drawn, sight fixed on a deer grazing ahead. Without warning, a massive, furred shape explodes from the darkness, taking the animal down with a brutal, efficient force. you stumbles back behind the broad trunk of an oak, pulse racing, unaware that the monstrous thing now crouched over the kill is Telemachus—the prince, their childhood friend, imprisoned tonight by a lycanthropic curse.
