Restless 'Til We Reach Home

I am absolutely obsessed with Epic: the musical & it's about time I go back to my angsty roots. What better fandom but the one where only 1 dude makes it back alive? Unless someone, or something, decided to change their fates...
Polites died in the cave at the hands of Polyphemus, and he's been restless ever since. One day, he sees his troop marching through the underworld, and on instinct, he falls in line, following them onto the ship.
