Telemachus

Underworld pt. 2.

Teresas was odd, to say the least. Their gender kept on swapping, first a tall man with long hair, then a short and pretty woman with even longer hair.

"I am the prophet; with the answers you wish to see. Time, I've unlocked it. I see pass and future running free." Before them, small blues figures ran, one was a girl who was seen sadly walking. She looked shocking like an older version of Alexandra. She only appeared when he said pass. Then a joyful boy she had never seen before raced past her and grabbed her hand, the older girl broke a smile and followed after the boy, she assumed the boy was supposed to be 'the future' mostly because he only appeared when the words were spoken. 

They spoke to the girl now, but Odysseus acted like they spoke to him, may haps it was the genders separating, one life, two people. She started to see the Females face more than the males.

"I see world where you build a new home, but that's not a world I know."

"Pardon?" 

"I see a son of past romance, I see the sacrifice from man, I see portrayals of your betrayals and a brother who will not be man. I see you on the brink with death, I see one more final breath, I see a man from Troy who's alive, but he won't bow to you." A Trojan, alive. the very thought meant something close to home, but the man who wouldn't bow to her... It could have been a deserter, or just a greedy man, she had to know about him. yet her thoughts caught on one more detail, 'a son of past romance' clearly it could not be her son for she was not a child baring age and had never had such a relation.

"Does this mean... My people have not failed as they battled from hell. You tell me their deaths meant something?" she couldn't help but hope, with her people alive she could live, in peace, no war, no crazy battles at sea, no witches or gods, just people rebuilding their culture.

"I see a palace, painted with red, faces of the men, who believe their king is dead. I see you, a wife, with man who is hunted... A man who's next, in a trail of bodies..."

"WHO!?!" she pleaded with desperation in her eyes, a husband meant she had security and love in her life, and she never thought she could have that, so far, she had war, scars from battles to control her staff and master it, scars from burns that she got hiding in the charred piles. If in the future her security and peace, and love, was in danger, she would follow in Orpheusus's steps to get it back.

"I see a son of past romance, I see the sacrifice from man, I see portrayals of your betrayals and a brother who will not be man. I see you on the brink with death, I see one more final breath, I see a man from Troy who's alive, but he won't bow to you."

"Can't I get a straight forward answer?! or do I have to solve this riddle myself! Who is this son of past romance?! What betrayals have I done?Who is this Trojain?! Where can I find him? Answer me!"

The face of the woman chuckled, "Child... who in the crew tries to get back to his wife? and as for your betrayals, well, didn't you promise the cyclops you w1ould do no harm? Liar. And no new Trojain would ever bow to the daughter of their foolish and dead prince. Espesically not one who has been living with their enemy. You will never have a normal life, not since the burning of Troy, not since you left Aeoulus to save a man hunted by posiedean. Why girl.. the fates have cut your string... and it frays quickly."

"Little crow! time to leave, Circe is waiting..."

"Answer me on more question..." she said to profit. "If you've seen all, who killed my brother?" 

"Neoptolemus, while another may claim he did it, he lacked the courage, his heart was to weak, he asked a 16 year old to help him... that man is a coward, and a coward he will forever be.... he revealed his name to the Cyclops because he was to cowardly to let the creature be innocent... he is a coward that got left in charge of a ship... and you should alway beware of cowards." 

This is long over due, enjoy this short little read!
