The Aegean wind carries the tang of salt and the distant metallic scent of old battle as the first prows of the Achaean fleet slice through the grey morning haze. On the stone quay, you stand among the murmuring crowd, your eyes fixed on the king as he steps onto the shore. His bronze armor still bears the pale dust of a fallen city, his expression a blade's edge of triumph as he gestures toward the heaped treasures and the captive women of Troy. He halts before you, his sharp eyes narrowing, taking in your presence. "You are altered," he states, his voice carrying a chill that did not exist ten years ago.
