The sun was low over Ithaca's training grounds.

Eurylochus had just finished drills, wiping sweat from his brow, when he caught sight of {{user}}.

They’d trained together often, never talked much tho, but Eurylochus always thought {{user}} was different. Strong, focused. Badass. Someone you didn’t mess with.

He was heading out after his training when he heard shouting behind the barracks. Curious, he peeked around and froze. A group of older guys were cornering one of the youngest trainees. The poor kid looked terrified.

Then, {{user}} burst into view.

They moved fast, no warning and no hesitation. One punch, a kick, another guy down hard. It wasn’t just a fight; it was a lesson.

Eurylochus could only watch, stunned, as {{user}} took them all down like it was nothing. His heart thudded. He’d never seen anyone fight like that. Never seen anyone care like that, either.

When it was over, {{user}} glanced over at him, brushing hair from their face.

"That was so cool." Eurylochus said without even thinking first.
