    Summary

    The world was suddenly alight with colour. Every dull grey was at once so bright it was almost blinding, as if decades of collected dust had been washed away by morning rain, transforming the monotone street into a sparkling paradise of light.

    A boy was waving to the crowds from an adorned chariot, and with him he brought back life itself.

    Odysseus was deaf to the cheers that surrounded him. The throng of people at his side vanished like smoke. All that mattered, all that had ever mattered was right in front of him, with a smile like the sun itself, wild black hair dancing in the wind like nature itself bent to adore him.

    Telemachus.

    --

    Or, after an almost-mutiny, Odysseus's crew stop a few kingdoms away from Ithaca for supplies while adjusting to their fragile, newfound hope. Odysseus finds more than he was looking for in the form of a child like sunlight itself.

    Summary

    Through the dark of the room – what time was it? – he saw Telemachus bring his hands together, cupping them as if to hold water. For a moment, Odysseus could only blink in sleep-deprived confusion as nothing happened, and then – light.

    A small, controlled flame flickered to life between his son’s palms, deep red like the last cinders of their family hearth. It danced between his fingers, as gentle as the low-tide waves that lapped against their shores, and illuminated Telemachus’s honey coloured eyes with gold as they blinked up at him eagerly.

    A warmth entirely separated from the physical fire in front of him bloomed in his chest. Odysseus pulled his son forward and pressed a kiss against the top of his head like it could convey even a fraction of the love that ravaged him.

    Summary

    The screaming stopped as suddenly as it began. Telemachus held his breath, praying fervently that whatever monster had come across them wouldn’t notice him in the tree, would keep moving.

    A new figure stepped into his line of sight, blocking the view of the corpse beneath him. Instead, Telemachus locked eyes with a woman, bathed in golden light. Flowing robes draped across her limbs, moving unnaturally against the wind. Glowing bands hugged the length of her forearms, matching chains weaving in and out of her dark hair.

    Her painted lips curved into a smile as she tilted her face up towards him.

    “Hello, little one. Are you lost?”

    Or, The fates lead Telemachus to Circe's island mere weeks after the end of the Trojan War when raiders rip him from the shores of Ithaca. He is plagued with dreams of soldiers and storms far out of reach, until a cryptically familiar stranger arrives in search of his missing men.
