After the official release of the song "Scylla" during the Thunder Saga of EPIC: The Musical, I decided to do a little revising to my God AU version of the song.
I'd originally written that it was only a meeting between Odysseus, his men and Bisuke, the God of Fear, who attacked them purely out of spite for ignoring their fears. Now that I know the real story leading up to the song, I think some rewriting is needed.
In my God AU, the Sirens tell Odysseus that the only way to hide from Fubuki, the vengeful God of the Sea, is to travel through the one place where no god can interfere: the Underground. Only problem is the patron god, Kurt, requires offerings in order for humans to utilize its secrecy. Odysseus and his men have been on the water for twelve years, though. They have no riches they can present as offerings.
Although, if the legends are true, riches aren't the only form of offerings that Kurt accepts...
So Odysseus sets their course for one of the few known entrances to the Underground. Once inside, he orders for Eurylochus to light up six torches. He refrains from telling his men that the torches mark the only offerings he can make for Kurt: human lives.
As soon as the torches are lit, a face appears from the shadows.
