The small whispering calmed down as the next song started.
The scene showed they were on the water. Waves splashing against the ship as it smoothly sailed through the waters. "Six hundred men! Six hundred men under my command, with only one goal in mind" Odyssey looks out towards the waters. "make it back alive to our homeland" the crew response. "Six hundred men! Six hundred miles of open seas but the problems not the distance" he looks at his men. "It's what lies in-between"
"And Ithaca's waiting! My kingdom is waiting! Penelope's waiting for me! So full speed ahead!" Eurylochus walks towards Odyssey. "Captain" Odyssey turns towards him. "Eurylochus" he gives a small nod. "Six hundred men, six hundred men with big mouths to feed and we've run out of food to eat" "curse the war, our food stores depleted" the crew echoes. "Six reasons to take what we can, so Captain what's the plan?" Odyssey thinks. "Watch where the birds fly they will lead us to land, there we'll hunt for food my second in command. Now full speed ahead!"
The crew did as the captain told them. Polites saw an island and called of his captain. "Captain, look! There in the distance I see an island, I see a light that faintly glows. Maybe there'll be fool lighting a fire maybe they'll share some food, who knows." Odyssey looks skeptical. "Something seems off here, I see fire but there's no smoke"Eurylochus steps in. "I say we strike first, we don't have time to waste so let's raid the the place and-" Odyssey cuts him off. "No, Polites gear up. You and I'll go ahead. We should try to find a way no one ends up dead"
Hestia looks at Odyssey with amazement. He might be the only mortal she knows that does not instantly kill everything and everyone just because, the crews hungry and yet he still wants to make sure there's little to no bloodshed.
"We don't know what's ahead!" Eurylochus argues. "Give me til sunrise and if we don't return than six hundred men will make the whole place burn" he reckons with Eurylochus. "Now full speed ahead!" They head to the island.
Zeus scoffs. "How is he the one you want to save? He does things blindly!" Athena looks at her father and sighs. "We can argue as much as you want but you don't see the potential I see in him so please just drop it"
