Telemachus looked to the night sky. He was sore, brused, beaten. But damn he felt good. Athena Goddess of wisdom and war had helped him. He fought one of his mother suitors and actually put up a fight, much more of a fight than he originally assumed he could.
But he still lost , he had to get stronger, he had to get better for his mother's sake! He would
He looked to the night sky and watched the stars. They shined brightly, and he watched them contently .
Telemachus may be seeing things. It has been a long day, but it looks like one of the stars was coming towards him
OH CRAP IT ACTUALLY WAS
Telemachus ducked as it came towards his room. A crash was heard as Telemachus peaked his head up.
There was a mass of black....seaweed
"What?" Telemachus thinks to himself, confused. He looks at it....It's....
IT'S MOVING
He sits there shocked at it and moves closer to him . His mind racing, he thinks
"Athen-" the thing attaches to him, and his mind sees flash
A man in a strange red and blue armour. Which turned black
*"Don't be afraid,"* a voice dark and twisted spoke
He watched how the man in red and blue found out this creature was alive. How he pruged himself of the creature.
And in rage of being abandoned and discarded, he joined with another and became a monster. This man was filled with rage and hate like the beast it joined.
"We will not hurt you, young one,"
Then how that monster and how it changed and became a hero, this man it bonded with had a son and how it saved the world how they battled gods Telemachus didn't know
He watched a different man whom Telemachus could tell had been a been a Soilder , who was a hero who made Venom better. They travelled the stars and protected strange creatures the Telemachus didn't understand
"We are Venom," it spoke. Telemachus watched as it poked out of his chest,
"You need not be afraid, boy,"
" I'll have you know, I'm just a man, not a boy." he tried to sound strong and confident. But he is afraid his voice failed him
This so-called venom chuckled, " I am old to me. You are a boy."
"Who, what are you?" Telemachus asked
It doesn't speak for a moment. " A traveller, lost away from....all the things I've known"
Telemachus looked at him, unsure. " You should me thing that, that I can't explain, who was that man in Red and blue, who were the two other men.
Venom doesn't speak for a moment. "They, they were my friends, I'm here because I choose to protect them." Venom doesn't make eye contact.
Telemachus looked at him. " The vision you showed me , you were a hero, you helped people,"
" I hurt people too,"
The words hung for a moment.
Telemachus sat there for a moment before. "Could you help me help me keep my mother safe?"
Venom looks at Telemachus.
" My father Odysseus left for war, twenty years ago, and has yet to return, and for years, men have come for my mother hand thinking my father is dead."
"How many?" Venom asks
"A hundred and eight men," Telemachus answers, " their getting impatient and dangerous too, I would fight them if I was half as strong as my father."
" I saw, in your vision, your strong and with you and Athena, I'll make sure no one hurts her ever again." Telemachus looked at venom with a fire in his eyes,
"I am a killer," Venom spoke
" A hero must know when to save a life and when to take one," Telemachus answered.
Venom was silent for a moment. A sigh escaped him, and he moved around
"If we do this young prince, We Are You you are no longer Telemachus, You are me and I am you we are two beings living symbiotic," Venom spoke. " You'd be no longer you,"
Telemachus takes a moment to take in the words of Venom, " No Longer You," he thinks to himself. Telemachus didn't want to think... it,
But maybe his father wasn't coming home, Telemachus wished these thoughts would leave his mind. These disgusting thoughts,the thought that made his stomach curl, and his skin stand....but if his father is ..... gone, it up to him to keep his mother safe, no one else would, nobody else would keep her from harm, these suitors only wanted her throne, her power and they'd kill....or worse to get it
"I know life and fate are scary , but all I want is for my mother to be safe," Telemachus answered. He stood up and looked at Venom .
"Sooooo, how does this work?" Telemachus asked
Venom sighed. " Now.... I go inside you. "
Telemachus eyes opened. " Wait, what!"
Venom then hit Telemachus in the chest and began to go inside his body. The only way Telemachus could describe the pain he was going through at this moment in time was like his body was becoming a man again. Everything is changing. Everything hurts , everything growing again
"FUCK" he shouts as he shoots up and looks around
"Venom" he speaks looking around
"Here " Telemachus hear the voice inside his mind. He slightly jumped as he looked around, then realised it was in his mind. " Oh, that is so sick," he smiles
"Say mask," Venom spoke
"What ? Telemachus asked, confused
"Just say it," Venom sighed. Telemachus rolled his eye
"God, your contrary, aren't you?" Telemachus spoke
"Mask "
"Copy "
Then Venom comes from within him, covering his body in an armour of sort, Telemachus lets a gasp of shock out as he feels it covering his body. Telemachus looked at his hands. It covered his hand in a blackish purple gelish texture.
"Look at your mirror," Venom instructs Telemachus.
Telemachus moves towards the mirror and looks at himself. His entire body is covered in the black/purple gel like substance . His eyes are a moonlight white.
" That's me, young prince," Venom answered the prince's thoughts.
"You can hear my thoughts ," he says out loud.
" we can speak to each other solely through your thoughts."
"So sick," Telemachus spoke
Telemachus felt Venom move back into him, which is definitely a strange feeling he'd have to get used to. Hopefully, he does,
"So little prince, what now?" Venom speaks
But before Telemachus can respond.
A
Clock can be heard
The world changes, everything darkness and turns a translucent blue
" I leave you alone for an hour or three, and you do something stupid, " Telemachus turned around to see Athena standing there.
" Athena, your eye, " Telemachus speaks, worried
"DON'T EVEN TRY IT," Athena looked at Telemachus."WHAT IS THAT THING ?
Venom instinctively takes over Telemachus to protect him.
Athena summons a spear....
Great
