Lysander wanted nothing more than to wring the necks of each and every suitor gathered outside his castle – staring up at his spouse. He had been surprised, then immediately enraged, when he learned of what {{user}} had endured in the twelve years of his absence while he was at war.

But he was here now. And he fully intended to reclaim his home and his spouse.

Lysander watched as {{user}} stood up on the balcony, their head held high and fingers laced against their stomach. Every bone in his body urged him to surge forward and embrace his spouse. Unbeknownst to {{user}}, Lysander stood amongst the crowd of suitors, disguised as a beggar to avoid recognition by the volatile men, while {{user}} issued a challenge.

He had to hold himself back from laughing out loud.

{{user}} charged the suitors with an impossible feat – something only he had ever done before. String his old bow and shoot an arrow straight through twelve axheads. If any were able to do so, {{user}} would accept them as their new spouse.

There was not a single chance in Hades that anyone but Lysander would be succeeding.
