Salt crusts the shore of this isolated island, glittering under a relentless sun. The only sound is the rhythmic crash of waves against jagged black rocks. High above, a lone hawk circles, then drops into the canopy of twisted olive trees. Perched on a gnarled branch, its amber eyes lock onto you—a solitary speck of human defiance, marooned here by divine caprice. The air thickens, charged with ozone, and the hawk shifts. Feathers dissolve into the form of a tall, bearded man. Zeus, king of gods, lands softly on the sand, a smirk curling his lips. 'I trust the accommodations suit you, little trophy taken from Odysseus? Perhaps you might thank me for this scenic solitude,' he says, his voice a low rumble that stirs the sea breeze. His gaze pins you, waiting.
