Empusa and the Odyssey

Revenge

I can't believe what I, the great Empusa, just saw. One of MY targets just got eaten alive? That is my job.

I will have to come up with a new plan then. My mission was to kill his men.

At least they're dead though, but I'm not ready to kill Odysseus... My master will be very displeased if I don't do something. They need to perish.

I need help. Who will I call though? I need someone who wants revenge on Odysseus. But who?

The cyclops. I must travel to their home of, Land of the Cyclopes. The cyclops want revenge because Odysseys stabbed the cyclops eye.

Now that I have my plan outlined, my master will be very pleased.

I am on the second part of the underworld while my master, Hades, lives on the third level of the Underworld.

I must go down to where he lies.

"Hades, are you here? It's very import-"

"WHAT?" Hades boomed through the thick stone wall.

"Um..." I hesitate only because I'm terrified of Hades. But I can't let my guard down. "Listen, I have an important message for you. His men are dead and-"

"I'm aware, Empusa. I'm not an idiot."

"I know, I have a plan. I just-"

"Stop, Empusa. I don't know how you got down here, nor why you're even down here in the first place. Be gone. Find a way. Don't irritate me anymore than you already do." Hades yelled again, but this time his face was noticeable. It was a dark blue, almost black with piercing red eyes.

I ran out as fast as I could, stumbling over rocks and breathing in the debris of the terrifying underworld.

I need help with my plan.
