In the mortal world, the sun sat high over Ithaca's courtyard, casting long shadows that didn't quite match the time in Telemachus' chest.

It was too bright for how he felt.

Too warm. Too loud—with birds chattering in the olive trees and the dull clatter of dishes from the kitchens nearby. Somewhere, a servant laughed as a jug tipped and caught itself on the edge of a fountain. A broom scraped across the stone in slow, lazy arcs, like the courtyard didn't know anything was wrong. Like the world hadn't stopped spinning the second Athena disappeared from their study without taking him too.

But he walked anyway.

His jaw was tight. Shoulders stiff. His feet dragged across stones that had somehow grown unfamiliar in just a matter of hours—days? Gods, he didn't even know anymore.

He'd stopped counting time when Athena left. Now it was all just sunrises and prayers.

Since then, he hadn't really slept. Not in the way that felt real. He closed his eyes, but nothing rested. He ate only what his mother forced onto a plate. He bathed because the guards were starting to glance at him sideways. But everything else? A blur. All of it. Just noise and ritual, passing under his feet while he waited.

Waited for a sign. A scroll. A whisper from a nymph or an omen in the coals.

Waited for you.

Because you weren't dead. He clung to that. Athena said so. You were alive. She'd looked him in the eye and told him that. Over and over, like she thought he needed the repetition.
