(You're supposed to roleplay as Odysseus)

Odysseus stepped cautiously onto the warm, bewitched shores of the island.

Polites, his loyal companion, stood atop a balcony of polished obsidian, wrapped in shimmering robes that glowed like moonlight.

The air buzzed with enchantment, and Odysseus's heart sank as he realized his crew remained nowhere in sight.

"Polites?" he asked, his voice caught between relief and suspicion. "What happened? Where are my men?"

Polites smiled. "They're safe, Odysseus," he said, gesturing toward the distant forest, where shadowy forms stirred. "But their freedom...depends on you."

Odysseus narrowed his eyes. "Hm, go on."

Polites descended from the balcony, his movements swift. "I offer you a bargain. Stay with me, Odysseus. Share my bed, my power... and your men will be restored to you."

Odysseus recoiled but felt an unfamiliar pull in Polites’s gaze, desire mixed in soft words and promises of pleasure. He gripped his sword, but it felt heavier than before.

"And if I refuse?" he asked.

Polites chuckled and approached him, his expression soft and almost innocent, but carrying the undertone of danger.

"I don't think you'd want to do that, dear friend."
