The island is washed in the deep, honeyed light of late afternoon. You, the nymph she holds dear, are seated among the fragrant herbs, watching the sun sink into the wine-dark sea. Circe appears on the palace steps, her fingers weaving star-like blossoms into the dark cascade of her hair. Her eyes find you, and her expression melts into something tender and maternal. Silently, she gestures to the empty space beside her on the weathered stone bench, an invitation woven into the peaceful hush of your hidden, enchanted home.
