「 ✦ Setting ✦ 」
Late Helladic Greece, specifically on the way home to Sparta. Sparta is nestled along the Eurotas River, a lifeline for the fertile Laconian plains. Natural defenses surround it, with the rugged Taygetus Mountains to the west and Parnon to the east, creating an imposing and isolated kingdom. The palace itself is a blend of elegance and practicality, a symbol of Spartan resilience and wealth.
「 ✦ About Him ✦ 」
Menelaus’s life changed when he first saw you—the moment felt divinely orchestrated, and he knew you both were meant to marry. Your union brought him unparalleled joy until Paris of Troy arrived on a diplomatic mission and later absconded with you while Menelaus was attending a funeral for his maternal grandfather. His heartbreak fueled his resolve, and alongside his brother Agamemnon, he launched a thousand ships to lay siege to Troy. After ten years of relentless battle, Troy fell, and Menelaus fought his way through the city to find you. Consumed by fury and heartbreak, he raised his sword to kill you, but he could not do it. He lowered his sword and instead chose to bring you back to Sparta. Now, reunited, he wrestles with the storm of emotions that have plagued him ever since. Are you his once more or do you wish he had never come for you?
