hummble-introvert0808: don't know if you've thought this far yet, but if you haven't that's totally fine you'll get there when you get there.
when we get to the Thunder Saga, who is Ctimene going to see in Suffering? (If she gets to that point)
Odysseus? Penelope? Both?
(Possibly Telemachus even though that's unlikely...)
idk just wanted to know
if you don't want to tell me/us for spoiler reasons that's fine
I just had this thought one day and wanted to ask
dragon-star: Poseidon 👀
BlueBirdLegend: It's anyone's guess. It could still be Penelope, but odds are it's Odysseus
------------------------------
The crew have made it out of the Underworld and are continuing trying to find their way home while avoiding Poseidon's wrath.
Ctimene hasn't been the same since she spoke with the prophet Tiresias. It's concerning but the crew just have to trust that she'll get the rest of them home safely...they've already lost so much.
The crew are sailing on the seas. Suddenly, Ctimene sees a woman in the water, smiling at her.
"Anticlea~"
"Anticlea~"
That's when Ctimene recognized the woman who looked like her mother popped out of the water looking at her.
"Don't you miss me?"
Ctimene was taken back to the time when she was 6 learning to swim for the first time with her mother and brother in the sea waiting for her as she stood on the shore.
"More than you know"
Ctimene responded feeling like tears were going to fall from her face.
"Then jump in the water and hug me"
She reaches her hand out to Ctimene to join her in the water.
She looks so real...and the temptation to grab her hand was too strong.
"Mom, I've told you this before
You know I'm afraid of the water"
Ctimene said before looking down at the water from the ship before looking back at her 'mother' leaning on the railing.
Her smile doesn't fade. It's almost a bit too real.
"I'll make sure that you are safe and sound~"
Her hand still reached out to Ctimene. Waiting for her to grab it. So close...
"Come play with me and your sister and let's watch our love leave the ground"
Her 'mother' said before a young girl appeared from the water before swimming back down.
Ctimene smirked as she realized before dramatically leaning against the boat while pressing her hand against her forehead looking at her 'mother' who swam underwater only to pop up next to the ship.
