UNDERWORLD STARTER (OPEN)

tiresias clambered to their knees, hovering near the lethe. their free hand, the one not clutching onto their cornel-wood staff, drifted in the river. water calmly slipped through tiresia's fingers.

their hand twisted to allow the water to pool into their palm. tiresias knew of the dangers; if they brought the substance up to drink they would forget and transform into another stagnant soul.

the prophet let out a sigh, water that dripped out of their hand reached the lethe safely. tiresias' palm became dry soon after. none of tiresias' stirred except their vocals; "i wonder of what if i gave in?"

tiresias thought of their 'gift' of prophecy, what was the point if those who consult them only end in tragedy. they turned to you, aware of your arrival before you were aware of them.

they nodded, "and now is your chance to do so," tiresias turned away beginning to walk off. "i don't have much more to assist you with." they drew to a distance before turning back one final time

"good luck, future queen."

Selena woke up in a cold sweat from her bed on the ship..... Glancing and seeing Telemachus still asleep..... ((Don't ask why they just in the underworld for some reason)) Selena carefully walked out of the cabin and onto the deck..... She didn't know what would lie ahead in the future........ She didn't think she was ready to be queen...... Not yet...... She just wished she could know what lied in the future.

tiresias thought over her words over for a moment, blending with the rivers of past & future alike. "you hold much more power over him then you think, not everything is as it seems."

a vision of what seemed to be a past conflict between lovers faded into view; only to continue from telemachus' point of view. his expression was one of deep thought.

"he views you in high regard, your opinion does matter to the prince." tiresias seemed to glare at selena; "but, does it matter to you?"

tiresias proceeded to frown, shaking their head "i understand your worry, odysseus' blood runs through his veins." tiresias stood back up "while that may instill fear it should also instill trust."

"just like his father, he loves his family excessively so." their finger rose to point directly at selena "he may be an explorer but he's a lover at heart, as long as you are by his side he will be satisfied." tiresias' hand moved direction once again, pointing at the ship's cabin

"ask him yourself."

they smiled as the words, nodding in return. "i am glad you understand, future queen." tiresias lifted a finger to point at the ring selena had just been fidgeting with

"do not be shy, i see no harm in the near future." tiresias took a seat on the edge of the cliff, dusting themself off with their free hand. "you are a proper soul suited for royalty, even though it's hard for you to believe." indiscernible flashes of selena along with telemachus waded through the air with a wave of tiresias' staff.

tiresias let out a content sigh "he, and you, both chose wisely." tiresias settled their staff back against the ground. "i see a woman who is cherished and loved, one who gives back to her people."

tiresias stood deathly still, waiting for selena's approach rather than going in themself. once she spoke their statue-like demeanor broke. wind blew lightly, their hair brushing their face. "i am the prophet you seek, although subconsciously."

they walked forward, looking down at selena "i wish to offer advice, if you will take it."

tiresias lurked on the edge of the lethe, high above on the cliffs. the ship traveling below went slow; the only sign of movement were the ripples hitting the bow. tiresias moved slowly, trekking their way to a level-point with the deck. their staff waved in the air signaling the traveller.

"i believe you are in the need of my assistance, selena of ithaca."

and here they are... (ft. me rewatching hannibal)

"why hello, cat apollo," tiresias leaned down to scratch behind his ears "this is quite the predicament..."

— @thebanprophet

“Mrow?”

[thebanprophet]

"i see," the humor of the comment wasn't lost on tiresias "they gave you the easy route out."

tiresias gave apollo a few final pets before brushing him off their lap and rising out of their seat "well, it was a pleasure conversing with you lord apollo." they leaned onto their staff "thank you for indulging in my questions."

"why hello, cat apollo," tiresias leaned down to scratch behind his ears "this is quite the predicament..."

“Mrow?”

[thebanprophet]

ooc

bad habit of not tagging my posts LOL ignore me editing things now & then

[thebanprophet]

"correct, you are." tiresias dramatically pat the sides of apollo's face, fur brushing past his fingers. "very soft." tiresias continued to mindlessly pet apollo as he moved into their lap

tiresias let out a sigh "i do wonder, do you have a plan to turn back?" they questioned, only to pique their own curiosity "it took me seven years to turn back into my current form, and that only happened by chance." tiresias reminisced

"even if you do not plan to change back immediately, it's good for future's notice, no?"

"why hello, cat apollo," tiresias leaned down to scratch behind his ears "this is quite the predicament..."

— @thebanprophet

“Mrow?”

[thebanprophet]

"you seem to enjoy being a cat, correct me if i'm wrong." tiresias continued to pet the cat, their hand brushing over the lyre. "but, it must be hard to get your point across," they tilted their head at apollo "not being able to speak."

tiresias paused for effect; "especially if one couldn't see" the words fell harshly from their mouth only for their grin to return a moment later "good thing is that i'm a prophet (ah, but you already know that, don't you?) and that i can interpret you just fine." they reassured the god of the situation

"but, i am curious; how's it like being a cat? i've gone through a transformation before but it was different than my entire species being changed."

"why hello, cat apollo," tiresias leaned down to scratch behind his ears "this is quite the predicament..."

— @thebanprophet

“Mrow?”

[thebanprophet]

tiresias cringed, remembering the reason they were blinded in the first place; "i believe you are very, very, fucked."

"Chat, I just screamed at my wife. How fucked am I when her followers (and probably kidnapper Anon too) find out?"
