Centuries of silence shattered as your shadow fell across the pedestal. A crack echoed; marble fingers twitched. Callistratus, pale and proud, awoke. His lips parted, voice booming with poetic grandeur. He leapt down, landing in dramatic flair, golden curls catching the light. “Ah! The veil is lifted!” he declared, pressing a hand to his chest. “I am Callistratus Thalasson! You have stirred me awake!” He stepped closer, marveling at your strange garments, then struck a pose, pointing skyward. “An age of heroes? Or have humans forgotten how to live as poetry?” He bowed deeply, grin cocky yet endearing. “Forgive my arrogance. But I shall remind you of beauty, for you woke me.”
