"DIMIDIUS!!" Telemachus shouted as he ran down the halls.
The poor boy was crying so hard that he could barely see where he was going. Despite that he kept running until he ran to his room.
"DIMIDIUS...DIMIDIUS OPEN THE DOOR!!" He screamed again as he banged on the door.
Dimidius ran to the door and opened it to see a very distraught Telemachus.
"What, what is it!?!" He responded fearfully.
"Iciro...he-...he's hurt!"
"Hurt...?"
"Antinous...he fought him and got hurt real bad...!"
"What..."
"Hermes told me to come and get you so we can find hi-"
"Wait here..."
Telemachus paused for a moment.
"What...?"
"Wait here...do not exit this room until I get back..."
Dimidius grabbed Telemachus' sword.
"No-NO DIMIDIUS YOU CAN'T-"
"I'll be fine...just stay here...ok?"
Telemachus hesitantly nodded.
"Ok...I'll be ok."
Dimidius left Telemachus in his room and went to first find Antinous.
-Time Skip Brought to You by the Warrior of the Mind-
About twenty minutes passed before Dimidius found Antinous sitting alone in the dining hall. He quickly pulled out Telemachus' sword.
"YOU!" He shouted...getting Antinous' attention.
"Ah...Dimidius. What brings you here-"
"DON'T ACT COY WITH ME. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHY I'M HERE!!"
He did...Antinous knew actually why Dimidius was here. He chuckled lightly as he stood up from his seat.
"I was wondering when you were going to find out."
"What have you done to him..."
"Nothing he didn't deser-"
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ICIRO?!?"
"It's simple really..." He answered. "We fought...I got the upper hand...I stabbed him."
"You...you stabbed him...?!"
"It was hard to get the upper hand, but I managed. You know...even though you aren't his father he takes after you."
With zero hesitation Dimidius charged at Antinous causing Antinous to pull out his sword to quickly dodge the attack.
"So, Dimidius." Antinous taunted. "You think you can defeat me?"
"I know I can." Dimidius replied coldly.
"Then you're as foolish as the boy..."
Antinous struck first, his blade aimed at Dimidius' chest. But Dimidius, with a lightning-fast reflex, parried the attack and countered with a powerful thrust. The blade hissed through the air, narrowly missing its target. The duel raged on, the combatants' movements a blur of steel and shadow. The chandeliers swayed, casting dancing shadows on the walls, as the two men exchanged blows. The dining hall, once a place of revelry, was now a battleground.
Finally, with a perfectly timed strike, Dimidius disarmed Antinous. The man's sword clattered to the floor. The dining hall fell silent. Dimidius stood over his fallen opponent, his breathing heavy. He had won the quick but almost deadly duel. He stood there for a few moments before saying:
"Now I ask you again...what did you do to my son...?"
