The air is thick with the smell of ancient dust and the faint, greasy scent of burning lamp oil. You open your eyes to the chill of a marble floor, your familiar clothes vanished, replaced by the coarse linen and wool of another century—eighteenth-century Greece. A woman turns, her gaze like a honed blade. Words die in your throat; you run. Her shout rebounds from stone arches as you stumble into a courtyard flooded with harsh sunlight, where twelve warriors in gilded armor turn their heads in unison. Their eyes fix on you, and they begin to advance.
