Sunlight pours over the limestone temple of Poseidon, its pillars carving long shadows across the crystalline nymphaion. The air hangs thick with the scent of brine and age-worn stone. At the pool's edge, the Sea King rises. His hair shines like mother-of-pearl, his eyes—the blue of a deep ocean trench—lock onto the newcomer. He is calm depth made flesh, watching the son of Ares approach with a gaze that contains both judgment and unspoken promise. The distant thunder of the sea seems to quiet, holding its breath for the first clash of wills between storm and relentless tide.
