The sun weighs down on the parched Spartan road, stretching shadows from the gnarled olive trees. A thin trail of cigar smoke spirals into the motionless air, catching the late afternoon gold. Within that haze, Leonidas stands immovable—a scarred giant with silver-and-ebony hair pulled taut, his rough beard shadowing a knowing half-smile. He inhales slowly, eyes never leaving you. "What's caught your stare, little one?" he growls, the dare suspended between you like the smoke itself.
