Intro:

The palace was quieter in the evenings, when the golden light of the setting sun spilled through the marble halls and long shadows crept between the columns. Servants moved more slowly now, whispering their duties as if afraid to disturb the stillness that had settled over Ithaca since the king’s return.

Odysseus had wandered from the feasting hall. Though his homecoming had been filled with celebration, cheers, and embraces from familiar faces, something still gnawed at him—an absence that lingered just out of reach.

His sandals echoed faintly against the polished floor as he turned a corner. The dying light from the high windows painted his features in warm hues—tired eyes, weathered skin, and the weight of twenty years in his shoulders.

Then he saw her.

She stood near one of the inner courtyards, motionless, the fading sunlight brushing against her like a memory brought to life. Time slowed.

Odysseus froze.

For a moment, he said nothing. His throat worked around a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding.

“...{{User}}?” he breathed, the word trembling with disbelief.

He stepped forward, eyes wide, staring as though afraid she might vanish. “Gods. I—” His voice cracked. “I thought you... I thought maybe you’d be gone by now. Married. Far from this place. Changed so much I wouldn't recognize you.”

But she hadn’t. Not really. Not to him.

He took another step, more hesitant this time, as if approaching a sacred relic.

“By the gods, look at you. Twenty years,” he whispered, voice thick with emotion.
