The screen turns on and a wooden horse could be seen outside the gates of Troy's kingdom. This was definitely the Trojan war. Music started playing as they zoomed in on the horse showing Captain Odyssey and his crew. "Alright my brother listen closely, tonight we make the Trojans pay. Ten years of war, they killed us slowly but now we'll be the ones who slay! Think of your wives and your children, your families wonder where you've been! Their growing old and yet you're still here. Do what I say and you'll see 'em again" Odyssey instructed the crew. "Yes sir!" The crew response to their captain.
Ares glance at Athena. "That ticking sound in the back, that wouldn't be you watching over him right?" Athena looks at her brother but does not respond. Penelope looked at the screen not sure how to feel. This was still the beginning and she did want answers to why he was gone so long.
"Diameters will lead the charge, Argemen will flame the yards, Malinks will let our men through the gates and let the whole city at large, Dusu will shoot any ambush attacks and little lay Jacks will stay back! Nester secure Helen and protect her, Neo avenge your father and kill the bothers of Hector" he tells them, his face void of emotions. "YES SIR" the crew response yet again. "Find that inner strength now, use that well of pride, fight through every pain now, ask your self inside! What do you live for, what do you die for, what do you fight for!" The crew repeats this and a softer melody starts playing with the sound of a heartbeat. "Penelope... Penelope and Telemachus! I fight for us, I fight for us!"
The love Aphrodite saw was true, she smiles to herself. Those two had to be her best work so face. Telemachus smiled with pride as he saw his father, he didn't grow up with the man but he did grow up with stories of the great King of Ithaca and this will definitely help him know his father more.
"ATTACK" Odyssey yells to his men and they storm into the gates and the bloodshed starts. Battle cries are heard along with swords against each other and against flesh. The camera zoom closer to Odyssey as he seems fine when all of a sudden he falls to his knees clenching his heart almost as if some just stabbed him. He looks up to the sky and sees an eagle, following it up the stairs of the side tower he stops when he hears the eagle cry and thunder boom. "Who was that..." He asks himself not expecting an answer. "A vision of what is to come. Can not be out run, can only be dealt with right here and now" the voice tells him. "Tell me how!" Odyssey walks forward. "I don't think you're ready" the voice echoes. "A mission to kill someone's son, a foe who won't run, unlike anyone you have faced before" the voice continues. "Say no more, I know that I'm ready!" Odyssey says more determined this time. "I don't think you're ready!" He ignores the voice this time and walks into a room ready to face the enemy but when he walked in he didn't expect this. "It's just an infant, it's just a boy. What sort of imminent threat does he pose that I can't avoid?" His voice soften as he walks towards the baby's crib lowering his sword. "This is the son of none other than Troy's very own prince Hector. Know that he'll grow from a boy to an avenger..one fumed by rage as he consumed by age if you don't end him now, you'll have no one left to safe. You can say goodbye to.. Penelope, you can say goodbye to Penelope" the voice warns him. Odyssey sees a figure at the window forming from the clouds. "I can raise him as my own!" He yells. "He will burn your house" Odyssey shook his head. "I'll send him far away from home!" He starts pacing. "Make sure his last is never known!" "THE GODS WILL MAKE HIM KNOW" the voice said firmly. "I'll rather bleed for you, I'm on my knees for you, please"Odyssey pleads. "THIS IS THE WILL OF THE GODS!" The voice stayed firm. "Please don't make me do this, don't make me do this!" He had tears in his eyes. "The blood on your hands is something you won't lose, all you can choose is whose" the figure disappears leaving Odyssey alone.
Ares scoffs and looks at Athena. "I told you he was weak." Apollo rolls his eyes. "Really, that's what you're worried about? What about the fact that dad manipulated the poor mortal into killing an infant?!" Whispers and murmurs could be heard through the room. Odyssey didn't look at anyone, his eyes fixed on his lap. He felt ashamed and now everyone saw this, Penelope placed a hand on his shoulder to try to reassure him but that didn't help. He didn't even look at his dear wife.
