The Prime of His Youth: Book V: Where There's Smoke: Ch42: A Kingdom of Lies Dies From a Single Truth

Japheth stood before the Forgefire Parliament, "I'm glad to see new faces." he said with a smile, "I have my memory back, after a brief tussle with a bit of Unicron. We won, by the way. I know Arcelia has more details archived. The most important news is that we have three new Primes: Nebulous, Aurea, and Megatronus." All of the air was sucked out of the room as abolute silence reigned, "I will be keeping my eyes, and spark on him. If he - ever - even THINKS about stepping out of line, I will end him."

The Mistress of Flame walked out onto floor, clacking her staff with every left pace, "A pledge - from - OUR - Prime."

"Was't... Aurea?.." Swansong asked.

"Do you see her?" the Mistress of Flame asked. All eyes in the room quickly bounced between all of the Femmes that had come with Him, taking up most of the back row. "Did you see her disembark from the Ion?" she asked. "Is she too shy to make an appearance?"

"Yes." Japheth said, "Golden Hind was always... not combatative, not distance..."

"Prickly." Pyra Magna stated, looking at Arcee.

"Very funny." Arcee stated.

"While Solus caused our journey, she did not join us." the Mistress of Flame stated, "All that we know about Solus Prime is that she was... difficult." she said, looking at Arcee.

"What?" Arcee asked.

"You embody a lot her traits." the Mistress of Flame said with a smile. Arcee looked about nervously. "You did catch the eye of OUR Prime."

"You keep saying that?" Arcee asked.

"Of the four Primes that exist, and the one so recently departed, how many have taken a personal interest in Caminus?" the Mistress of Flame asked, walking about the centre of the theatre, looking everyone in the eyes. She got no answer, but she did not need an answer. The answer was obvious on the faith of it. She turned towards Japheth at his podium. The brilliant smile on her looked so out of place. She was normally warm, supportive, maybe inquisitive, but this smile intimidated him.

Arcee jumped up to her feet, "That's mycue." She walked down the side of threatre seating and stepped up to the podium, "She wants to know if you'll protect Caminus."

"Why wouldn't I?" a confused Japheth asked.

Arcee looked at the Mistress of Flame, "That's what I thought. He fell in love with Caminus from the moment he saw her in orbit, nevermind how beautiful it is down here. Arcelia." she said, and Arcelia stood up. "Describe Nevada."

"In - detail?" Arcelia asked.

"Quick." Arcee replied.

"It is one of the most arid regions of his country, at least the desert regions that still have a biome. This seems anathema for Human mental state. They are naturally attracted to greenery and flowing water. Human psychology seems to also focus a considerable amount on how beautiful women are."

"But, we're not sexual?" Swansong asked.

"But, we are Femmes." Arcelia said with a bright smile. "Sexuality is inherent in Humans. The default. Among their own world, Humans are unique in that they can reproduce any time of the year. For them, it never gets turned off. But, it's not just sexual, even if the act is."

"Can we get Amalthea to translate?" Swansong asked.

"She is setting up the new Icogeneon on Orion." Japheth simply replied.

"I'll give you the short." Arcee stated, "Excuse my language. Humans fuck, because their are wired to, but for Human sparkmates, this makes them so much more intimate that it's hard to describe."

"Speaking from personal experience?" Apple Eye asked.

"Yes." Arcee simply, sharply replied.

"Humans and Cybertronians were meant to interface." Arcelia said, as neutrally as she could.

"By who?" Swansong asked.

"By Primus." Japheth uttered, his deep voice echoing about the theatre.

"Then... why didn't we?" Swansong asked.

"Humans had to interface." Arcelia stated, "Cybertronians do not. A Human generation is 20 years, which is the average time to reach maturity and produce their own offspring."

"I remember that..." Apple Eye, "vaguely. I know it came up."

"They MUST reproduce within a small time frame, or they go extinct." Arcelia added.

"That - makes sense." Swansong stated.

"Enough about my lovelife." Japheth said, "Orion can take a much bigger crew than the Ion, as such, I am recruiting." About a third of the Femmes raised their hand, "I still can't take all of you. Centurions, discuss with your Century about how many you can lose without any real compromise to your ability. Next I am going to go to the Human city, does it have a name?"

"Yvonnia." the Mistress of Flame said with a smile.

"Lovely name." he affirmed.

* * *

Japheth drove with a Dollform Arcee in his back seat. He opened the comms. to his Femmes, along with June and Vera. "Who wants to come to Yvonnia?"

"And I don't get a choice?" Arcee asked.

"Did you want one?" Japheth chided.

"Is this like how women never know what they want to eat?" she asked, and Japheth paused in his reply. "I'll take that as a yes. This is part of my long and hard road to become a white woman."

"Pumpkin spiced Energon." Japheth said, leaving a momentary pause.

"Is that a thing?" Arcee eagerly asked.

"Joke." Japheth replied.

"And NOW you decided to get a sense of humour? I was actually excited."

"I guess everyone is still too intimidated..." Japheth uttered.

"Or in awe." Arcee stated.

"Fine," Japheth stated, and then spoke over the comm. link, "Sound off, Sirenia."

"What, why am I first?" she nervously asked.

"Because you were first." Arcee forcefully replied.

"I was, what?" Sirenia asked.

"Are you hugging my mother?" Japheth asked, and there was a brief pause before he got a reply.

"How did you know?"

"You are excused. Arcelia, you're coming."

"My Prime." she eagerly replied.

"Roxana?" he asked. "Roxana?"

"Oh, sorry, I honestly don't know." Roxana replied.

"Then we won't wait for you." Japheth replied.

"Understood." she stated.

"Vera, mom's busy hugging Sirenia. Did you want us to pick you up?"

"But, my?.." she asked, "My vigil."

"Terribly sorry." Japheth lightly replied.

"What about that drink with the balls?" Arcee asked.

"What balls?" Japheth neutrally replied.

"They have, like, a wide straw, and they suck balls through it."

"I've seen it..." Japheth uttered, "Maybe ask Miko."

Arcee opened up the comms. with Miko. "Yo?" Miko asked, "What's up, Arcee?"

"When you grab the thing, and suck, and there's balls, what's that called." She waited a few moments, and got no reply, "Miko?"

Bulkhead's voiced appeared on the comms. "She patched me in because she's too busy laughing."

"What did I say?" Arcee asked, and another paused followed.

"Really?" Bulkhead asked her, "I figured, I mean... Alright, nevermind. Bulkhead out."

* * *

Japheth pulled up to a large muncipal building, at least large by Human standards. He opened his driver-side door and flap, to allow Arcee to crawl out. He transformed, and Arcelia transformed into Dollform beside them. Knock Out stepped out of the doors, a couple of feet away from the roof. "Fancy meeting you here. How did you know I was in Yvonnia?"

"How did you know I would need a Seneschal?" Japheth answered. Knock Out looked distant and frightful.

"He's not mad." Arcee sardonically added.

Knock Out looked deep into Japheth's eyes looking for ire or hatred. The only thing he found was slight annoyance.

"In that case, with you, I've had to learn to expect the unexpected." a nervous Knock Out replied.

"And you've never failed me." Japheth said, so easily and breezily that Knock Out did not catch it. It drifted passed him until it seemed to drill into his Spark chambre and he nearly fell over. He clutched his Spark chambre like he was having a heart attack. "Should I call Roxana?" Arcelia neutrally asked.

Knock Out nearly jumped to his feet, angrily pointing at Japheth, "How could you do that to me?!"

"Killing you with kindness?" Arcee sardonically asked.

"It's not supposed to be literal!" he exclaimed, and then worked to calm himself down. "How can you?.."

"Still not used to kindness?" Arcelia asked.

"You don't know Jack." Arcee sardonically added.

"I've only spent the last few AEONS working for a megalomaniacal psychopath." Knock Out replied, "Which, speaking of, you're sure he's not, you know, Megatron, right?"

"How did Megatron get started?" Japheth asked.

"To be fair, I've never really been into politics..." Knockout replied.

"You know the English word Devil?" Japheth asked.

"Not... like... specifically?.." Knock Out replied.

"Culturally." Arcelia added.

"Oh, yes?" Knock Out languindly asked.

"It means Liar." Japheth emphatically said, "In Christianity, Demons don't have the power to control you, just whisper in your ear."

"Isn't possession a thing?" Knock Out asked, "At least in movies."

"You have to agree to it." Arcelia stated, and Knock Out's eyes grew wide with shock.

"Their lives were so bad, that selling their lives to a demon was improvement." Japheth simply stated. "Megatron started by talking about peace and unity and fairness."

"You're going to pretend what's he doing is working?" a confused Knock Out asked.

"Oh, no, I'm cutting him off on at the knees. In years, centuries, it's hard to describe in units that are even conceivable, before he had enough support that he could start the war."

"Everyone is going to know how much of a liar he is." Arcee stated.

"Because people are suddenly good at learning from history?" Knock Out asked.

"Because every time I come back to Cybertron, I'm going to read his spark, and if I don't like the answer, I will kill him." Japheth said firmly.

"Oh, Good, Primus, did everyone else feel that?" Knock Out quivered.

the post/thread that started this whole au

dinner scene: part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6 | part 7

there's a masterlist now!

*odysseus is making his way to the dining hall, while athena and poseidon are following behind*

poseidon: *looking around at the decorations/tapestry dotted around*

poseidon: *see’s a tapestry of what looks to be a very much younger odysseus in full king & armour attire*

poseidon: *stops walking, and turns to look at the actual odysseus in front of him, then back at the tapestry*

poseidon: *to odysseus with a sardonic tone* do your weavers like making you look like a boy, or was that a decision you made to make yourself look younger?

odysseus: *pauses his walking to see what poseidon is talking about*

athena: *also pauses and turns to poseidon*

odysseus: *sees the tapestry in question*

odysseus: *sighs* of course you point that one out 

athena: *who knew odysseus before he was king*

athena: *glaring at poseidon* uncle, you shouldn’t make assumptions, especially when you don’t know the facts

odysseus: *pats athena on the shoulder as he passes her*

odysseus: it’s fine athena

odysseus: *next to poseidon and looking up at the tapestry* if you must know, that is actually the age i was. 

poseidon: *not believing him* yeah right, you couldn’t be older than fifteen in this

odysseus: *turns to him with a sharp look* you’re correct, i was fifteen

poseidon: *slightly wary of odysseus’ mood* so… you became king at fifteen? isn’t that a little bit young for a mortal to rule a kingdom?

odysseus: *turns back to the tapestry* i was already the king, i was actually crowned when i was thirteen

poseidon: *shocked and confused* why would a child be given a kingdom to run?

odysseus: *looks down with a sad smile, at the memory of his father telling him about him losing his mind, and how sorry he was to place such a huge responsibility on his young son’s shoulders*

odysseus: well, i had no choice, but i would do it again if i had to… 

odysseus: *turns to athena* besides, i had athena to help guide me

athena: *smiles with a nod at odysseus*

odysseus: *starts walking in the direction of the dining hall again* anyway…enough of that, can we please just make our way to the dining hall now

*they all continue making their way down the hall*

poseidon: *notices a stain on the floor tiles not far in front of them*

poseidon: *points* i think your servants missed a spot

athena & odysseus: *both look to where he’s pointing*

athena: *chuckles to herself in knowing*

odysseus: *smirks* 

poseidon: *sees both their expressions, and is confused* 

odysseus: oh that..oh don’t worry it’s clean

odysseus: *shrugs* it’s just so hard to get bloodstains out of white titles

poseidon: *wide eyed* blood?

odysseus: yeah.. not long after i finished with you, i arrived back on my island to find my palace overrun with 108…mutts… all vying for my wife’s hand. 

odysseus: *waving his hand like it was a simple issue* so i made sure to deal with them all myself… unfortunately one of them left a stain.

odysseus: -oh look we’ve made it

odysseus: hope we haven’t kept them too long

poseidon: *shocked at all the new odysseus lore he’s unlocked*

athena: *laughing at poseidon’s expression*

odysseus: *opening the door* come on let’s head in

poseidon: *shakes away the shock*

odysseus: *to poseidon* i guess it’s time to introduce you to my wife

*they all walk through the doorway into the dining hall*

*there penelope and telemachus both stand not too far from the dining table; which has quite the feast laid out, and from the steam coming off of it, it had not long be put there*

odysseus: *heads over to his son & wife*

odysseus: *looks at poseidon* poseidon, you’ve met my son telemachus before.

telemachus: *can barely keep in his excitement* 

telemachus: hi- i mean good evening lord poseidon, i’m so happ- grateful you accepted my father's invitation for dinner. 

telemachus: *puts his arm on his chest, and leans forward in a  bow of respect* i hope you enjoy the evening.

odysseus: *narrows his eyes at poseidon, silently threatening him to not be rude to his son*

telemachus: *looks back up at poseidon, smile on his face*

poseidon: *quickly nods his head in greeting to telemachus* good evening prince, your father tells me that this was all your idea 

telemachus: *raises a hand to nervously scratch under his chin* um… yes i guess it was

poseidon: well then, thank you for the idea to invite me.

telemachus: *hand leaves his chin and a big smile breaks out* well of course! you are my father’s friend after all!

poseidon: *eye twitches before he quickly composes himself* 

poseidon: yes… friend.

odysseus: *coughs* yes and now that you’ve both reacquainted yourselves again… telemachus why don’t you go speak with athena for a moment

telemachus: sure!

*telemachus makes his way to athena, and they start talking amongst themselves*

odysseus: *puts his arm around penelope’s waist* now, please let me introduce you to my wife; the queen of ithaca, penelope. 

penelope: *doesn’t bow like telemachus, but nods in greeting* welcome to our palace lord poseidon

poseidon: *nods back* thank you for having me queen penelope

penelope: *smiles but her eyes have a certain glint to them* 

penelope: my husband has told me all about your part in his journey home to us

poseidon: *totally not panicking a little* uh-

penelope: *glint leaves her eyes, but her smile remains*

penelope: -and also how you have helped out on his and my son’s fishing trips lately.

penelope: of course, i would also like thank you for taking the time to attend tonight

poseidon: sure… no problem?

odysseus: great, everyone has met everyone! 

odysseus: *to everyone* now, shall we sit down and eat the lovely feast the cooks have made us, before it gets cold?

odysseus: *moves to pull out one of the chairs at the head of the table for penelope as he normally does, when he notices that, there is only one chair instead of two*

odysseus: *looks up at the table and sees a piece of parchment with ‘mother’ written on it* 

odysseus: huh?

telemachus: *makes his way over to his father* oh! there’s a different than usual seating plan for tonight! i’ve put everyone's names where they should sit.

odysseus: *smiles at telemachus* oh ok, sure!

odysseus: well, i guess i should look for mine then, hey?

telemachus: yes, and please everyone else too!

*everyone makes their way to the table to see where they’re sitting (even though three of them already know)*

odysseus: *sees the parchment with ‘father’ on it* 

odysseus: *expecting to have either athena or telemachus next to him*

odysseus: *watches as athena stands in front of the seat opposite him*

odysseus: *thinks it’s weird to put athena & poseidon together, but thinks telemachus has done is as they are uncle & niece*

odysseus: *then sees telemachus stood in front of the seat next to athena*

odysseus: wait-

poseidon: *sees his name and heads towards it, only to look up and see odysseus standing in front of the seat next to him*

poseidon: wait-

poseidon & odysseus: *both look at each other in horror that they're stuck next to each other all evening*

telemachus: *not noticing the looks of doom on their faces* isn’t this great? it’s a family dinner, so what better than friends sitting together? 

telemachus: *turning to penelope* sorry you’re by yourself at the head of the table though mother

penelope: *smiles and waves her hand* i don’t mind

penelope: anyway, let's sit and eat!

*everyone but odysseus and poseidon sit down. both who have a death grip on the back of their seats*

penelope: *clears her throat* odysseus, lord poseidon… would you both please sit down.

odysseus: *snaps out of his staring at poseidon* 

odysseus: uh sure…

odysseus: *sits down and look back to poseidon, nodding his head at poseidon’s seat in the motion for him to also sit down*

poseidon: *still doesn’t sit*

odysseus: *a millisecond of a flash of red eyes* 

poseidon: *sits*

odysseus: *internally to himself* oh this is gonna be a long evening

odysseus: *to everyone* ok, everyone dig in!

odysseus: *to poseidon* can you get what you want for yourself, mighty sea god? or do you need a mortal’s help?

poseidon: *grabbing a lamb chop off a platter and tearing into it savagely in defiance*

odysseus: *rolls his eyes at poseidon, but goes to place a filet of fish on his plate*

*everyone has been eating and talking*

poseidon: *looks at penelope (who is talking to telemachus & athena) and then looks at odysseus*

poseidon: *thinking and then looks back to penelope*

odysseus: *to poseidon* is there a reason you keep looking at my wife?

poseidon: *jumps at little at being caught looking* 

poseidon: *turns to odysseus* oh do not worry yourself, i have no interest in your wife

odysseus: *unimpressed* why do you keep looking at her then?

poseidon: im..curious 

odysseus: *narrowing his eyes* about?

poseidon: normally you mortal men choose women younger than them for their wives… yet clearly your wife is; from my estimates… about a decade older than you

poseidon: *now with his hand under his chin, leaning on the table* 

poseidon: do you perhaps…prefer older women odysseus?

odysseus: *hands tighten in grip around his cutlery*

poseidon: *notices odysseus hasn’t responded yet*

poseidon: i’m right aren’t -

odysseus: no.

odysseus: *his eyes may not be red, but are clearly full of anger*

poseidon: *eyes widen in worry* whoa whoa! no need to get angry, it’s just a simple observation…. anyone if they pay attention can see the age difference

poseidon: *moves his hand to flick his hair back over his shoulder* it’s not a bad thing

odysseus: *takes a breath in to calm down and then slowly releases it*

odysseus: we are- were the same age… physically at least

poseidon: *confused* i don’t follow

odysseus: *looks at poseidon* during the 10 years it took for me to get home… i found myself stuck on a goddess’ island for 7 of them…

poseidon: ok…

odysseus: *closes his eyes* caly- the goddess had full control over everything on the island… her magic influenced everything… including a mortal's ability to age.

poseidon: so you didn’t-

odysseus: -age? yeah

odysseus: *sighs and opens his eyes* when i realised i wasn’t… i- i- 

odysseus: lets just say i didn’t handle it well

poseidon: *blinks at this new information* oh

odysseus: yep ‘oh’ indeed… 

odysseus: *looks back at poseidon*

odysseus: didn’t you think it was odd that i looked exactly the same when we met again, almost 10 years after our first meeting?

poseidon: in my defence… i was angry and trying to kill you, i wasn’t really paying attention to how you looked

odysseus: *rolls his eyes* i guess that's true

telemachus: uh lord poseidon? may i ask you a question?

poseidon: *happy to not continue his conversation with odysseus*

poseidon: *to telemachus* ask away prince of ithaca

telemachus: is it true that you gave achilles his horses balius & xanthus?

poseidon: *amazed at telemachus’ knowledge* 

poseidon: not directly… but yes i am the reason he came to acquire them. you see i gave them to his father peleus, as a wedding gift for his wife thetis…

*poseidon continues to tell the tale, and odysseus speaks with athena and penelope while more time passes*

*the meal is continuing smoothly as can be*

poseidon: *notices that odysseus has only been eating the fish. not touching a single bit of pork, beef or lamb that's also on the table* 

poseidon: *who has continuously eaten all meats available*

poseidon: *to odysseus* is there something i should know about the meat?

odysseus: huh?

poseidon: *points at the selection of meat in question* what's wrong with the meat? you’ve only touched the fish.

poseidon: if i hadn’t seen the others eat it, i’d worry you’d asked your cooks to poison it or something. 

odysseus: *raised eyebrow* poison won’t hurt you though? 

odysseus: *pointing a fork at him* also, why do you care about my eating habits?

poseidon: *frowning at the fork* i don’t, i’m just-

odysseus: curious? poseidon, i thought you were the god of the sea, not curiosity…

poseidon: *huffs* forget it-

odysseus: i can’t

poseidon: *now his eyebrow is raised* you…can’t?

odysseus: *now using the fork to push the food on his plate around* i can’t stomach eating lamb, pork or beef anymore

poseidon: *forever confused by odysseus* uh why?

odysseus: *gives poseidon a ‘do i really have to explain everything?’ look*

poseidon: *just stares*

odysseus: *once again sighing because of poseidon* well i thought you’d understand lamb… after the whole sheep incident with… your son.

odysseus: then after i escaped you with the wind bag-

poseidon: *rolls his eyes at the memory*

odysseus: we wound up on the sorceress circe’s island… where she turned my men to pigs. 

odysseus: i managed to convince her to turn them back, but it now feels weird to eat pork

odysseus: as for beef, short story is my men ignored my warnings and killed the sacred cattle of the sun god… so yeah beef is a no go for me also. 

poseidon: *wondering how one mortal managed to interact with so many gods on a journey to get home*

poseidon: *laughs at odysseus* and you’re letting that affect your eating habits? i expected you to be stronger than that odysseus

odysseus: *narrows his eyes at poseidon* oh just like how you let my handling of your trident, affect you into doing as i say?

poseidon: *now glaring back* 

poseidon: *turns away from odysseus* whatever, more meat for me

*dinner continues, with telemachus asking poseidon more questions. poseidon loving the interest in him and telelmachus’ knowledge, answers the all the questions with surprising enthusiasm*

*eventually what was once a giant feast of food has nearly been cleared from the table, thanks to having two gods eating most of it*

telemachus: have you enjoyed yourself so far lord poseidon? 

telemachus: *smiling* it’s been really fascinating and fun to learn so much more about you

poseidon: *almost letting a small smile appear on his face in return*

poseidon: *instead just nods* yes, it certainly has been an interesting & knowledgeable evening

telemachus: what about the seating, was it a good idea to put you with my father?

poseidon: *wants to answer no, but feels a kick from under the table. clearly from odysseus*

poseidon: yes, you came up with an ok-

odysseus: *gives another kick* 

poseidon: -great idea

telemachus: *laughs in happiness* 

telemachus: oh but i can’t take all the credit

odysseus: *raises an eyebrow in curiosity* 

athena: *who is sipping wine next to him*

athena: *slightly chokes* wai-

odysseus: *suspicious* son, you must make sure to tell us who else to thank for this

telemachus: *not understanding the bombshell he’s about to drop* oh athena actually came up with the idea!

athena: *suddenly nervous with the two very intense stares directed at her*

athena: w-well it was just a suggestion really…

telemachus: no ‘thena! remember you said as it’s a family dinner, friends should sit with friends!

odysseus: *to athena with the fakest smile* oh athena, how considerate!

penelope: *who has been quiet this whole exchange*

telemachus: *as if he hasn’t already unknowingly thrown one person to the wolves* but i of course had to run it by mother first, as she was helping me with all the planning!

penelope: *eyes have totally not widened*

telemachus: she said it was a great idea!

odysseus: *now to penelope* oh my dear wife, a great idea eh?

poseidon: *just chugs back his cup of wine at the revelations*

*after a awkward moment (at least for 4 of them) they continue on finishing the meal*

*eventually the food is finished and the dinner has come to an end, everyone has moved away from the dinner table and are now sitting on cushion chairs or standing around them talking amongst themselves*

poseidon: *looking out the window seeing just how dark the night sky now is* 

poseidon: well this has been a lovely evening, but it is getting late and i have been away from the sea for as long as i can.

poseidon: *turning to penelope and nodding his head in actual respect* queen penelope, thank you for your hosting

poseidon: *without nodding at them* athena, odysseus… good night.

*before poseidon can turn to bid telemachus good night, the prince runs out the room*

telemachus: *yelling before he leaves the room* please lord poseidon, wait a moment! i forgot something!

poseidon: *turns to look at odysseus in confusion* 

odysseus: *just shrugs also confused* 

poseidon: *turns back to the door, telemachus long gone* uh sure.

*not long later telemachus runs back into the room dishevelled but holding something in his hand*

telemachus: *walks up to poseidon* 

telemachus: *bows and holds out something covered in a silk cloth to him*

poseidon: uh-

telemachus: it’s a gift! i’m not expecting anything in return, and i’m sure you have better things… but i saw it and thought you’d like it

poseidon: *blinks, but takes the gift from telemachus’ hands*

poseidon: *carefully unties the silk cloth*

poseidon: *breathes in sharply*

telemachus: *not sure if that's a good or bad reaction* uh if you don’t like it that's fin-

poseidon: *holds his hand to stop telemachus* 

poseidon: prince of ithac-

telemachus: telemachus- sorry for interrupting. please my lord, call me telemachus

poseidon: …telemachus. thank you, this is a very thoughtful gift. 

poseidon: i will cherish it.

penelope & odysseus: *curious over what's got the god of the seas ‘cherishing’ something*

athena: *small smile as she knows*

*penelope & odysseus move closer to poseidon who is still staring down at his gift. once close enough they can see in his hand is a a handcrafted glass/crystal hippocampus*

*poseidon ended up wrapping it back in the silk cloth, and placing it in his chiton. He then thanked telemachus again and bid him good night & farewell. odysseus offered to walk back to the cove with him, but poseidon waved him off and told him to stay with his family*
