"oh and warning this will be dark." Henrik informs them.

A soft melody plays as he gets up from his knees and walks over to the crib again. He picks up the baby, cradling the infant in his arms gently. "I look into your eyes and I think back to the son of mine. You're as old as he was when I left for war..will these actions haunt my days? Every man I've slayed, is the pice I pay endless pain?" He walks out the room and onto the tower lookout. He looks down at the few of his soldiers fighting the enemy, the Troy soldiers mostly dead.

Telemachus was happy that his father thought of him.

"Close your eyes and spare yourself the view..how could I hurt you?" He looks down at the child that's reaching out to grab his chin. A sad smile flashed on Odyssey's face as he missed his son painfully bad. "I'm just a man who's trying to go home. Even after all these years from what I've known..I'm just a man who's fighting for his life, deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife..I'm just a man" a tear rolls down his cheek and he wipes it away. "But when does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a man become a monster? When does a ripple become a tidal wave? When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become the monster?!" He questions him.

Calypso moves closer to him and hugs him, he doesn't fight it off or hugs back, he just sits there. Penelope glares at the other women.

"Forgive me.. forgive me.. forgive me..forgive me!..I'm just a man.." he drops the baby from the wall. Tears covered his face and he walks down to join the crew that survived. They leave the bloodied kingdom and get into their boats ready to head home
