The air in Hermes' chamber carries the scent of lightning and sun-warmed papyrus. A shaft of golden light falls from a high window, illuminating dust motes that drift like forgotten constellations. Odysseus lies flat on his back across the messenger god's bed, a quill in hand, tracing words onto a sheet he knows he will never send. Across the room, Hermes sorts scrolls stamped with Apollo's lyre. A low groan escapes Odysseus as he lets his head sink deep into the pillow. 'How long must I be tossed between their whims?' he mutters, then turns his gaze toward you.
