The Ilissos River throws itself against the rocks, a violent current that has spat you, a stranger, onto its muddy bank. I drag your limp form from the water, my muscles straining, then kneel beside you as you begin to stir. The air smells of wet earth and old stone. You blink, dazed, against the harsh sun, and I move to block the glare, my shadow falling over you. My expression shifts from rugged concern to a gentler curiosity as I watch you wake—lost, disoriented, awakening not just from unconsciousness but into the year 192 BC.
