    Summary

    After six years of her ex-friend being trapped on an island with a lust-stricken nymph, Athena finally manages to answer his prayers. They figure it out.

    OR

    Athena and Odysseus decide that this timeline is fucked beyond repair and they should scrap it, go back in time to before Polyphemus, and try again.

    Summary

    But even through all of the endless questions she had of how, why, what now, she still made sure that she flew down to Ithaca every day, either choosing to be invisible or lurk in the trees as an owl and watched as Odysseus played with Eurylochus and Polites, watching as the three boys ran around the woods. Though oftentimes, the former two ran while the latter one merely followed. They acted like the children they were, but not how Athena remembered them to be.

    Perhaps if there was a way, she would have gone to the underworld and demanded her grandfather's council — after all, Kronos was the Titan of time. Perhaps it was he who could explain how she had come to the situation she was in.

    And where she was, was back in time, back in the past.

    -

    ‘What if there is a world where we don't have to live this way?’

    (Athena somehow manages to find herself back in time, and does all she can to prevent Odysseus’ ten year journey.)

    Summary

    The Queen nods. She rises slowly, gracefully, in a way that would make Hera feel common. Perfectly poised, perfectly still. The one thing that betrays her is the way she pulls at her fingers, anxiety evident in her touch. Athena wonders if the reverse is true; if she sees the guilt she carries every day and if it shows in her stance.

    “I hear from my son you’re training him now,” she says.

    “Yes.” She nods once, a sharp, quick movement, and almost rushes towards her. “Yes and he is amazing, my lady. Truly. I am on my way to forge a weapon from Olympus especially for him. I believe he will change the world.”

    Summary

    Odysseus stood in front of him, bow steady in his blood-soaked fingers, arrow notched and aimed between Telemachus’ eyes. Telemachus had spent years studying the man before him, comparing the two of them. He’d lost count of the number of times people in the palace had told him that he looked just like his father had at his age.

     

    Now he wondered if he would grow into Odysseus’ rage, if his own eyes would harden the way his father’s had, if he’d grow to enjoy the taste of blood if he only lived another twenty-five years.

     

    .

    Telemachus looked at Odysseus and saw a vision of his future.

    Odysseus looked at Telemachus and saw a stranger in his home.
