Further away from our heroes's resting place...lied an island, the home of odysseus and his fallen crew...ithaca.

*7 years later*

The halls of the castle filled to the brim with chatter and impatient groans and slurs. The guests of the queen...the 200 suitors waited for her to choose one of them, there was this man in particular...Atreus...new father of Anezka, sister of Polydeuces. This man kept the suitors busy to buy time, disguising himself as one "And you will keep waiting...she will be out when she is ready" atreus mumbles at the suitors "and how much longer do you expect us to wait...coward guard? It's been 20 years!" Antinous frowns "you will wait until the queen is ready! End of discussion...now drown in ale and wine while you wait..." atreus scoffs waking off "and if you try anything...i will personally throw you all out...you are guests of the queen...act like it" he scoffs walking off to telemachus room.

Behind the pillars of the castle, two young adults spied on the suitors "shhh" telemachus shushes his friend "you shush! It was your idea after all..." An huffs as she looks again "Poor Atreus.. I don't know how much longer he can stall for the queen.. " Anezka whispers as Telemachus pulls her up into his room " yea.. well.. we grateful he's buying time for now.. mom is trying to figure out a plan in the meantime.." He sighs softly "But meanwhile we have to stay locked here in this room bored out of our mind!!!!" She groans laying on his bed "i wonder what's beyond this island..." she looks out the window with a sigh.

Telemachus sighs "hence why we go out to see the coast every day to see if my dad's fleet returned.. " he sits next her her "it's just us.. stuck in my bedroom, living in this world they left behind. Dreaming of all these monster. That we'll never get to fight. But boy, i wish we could so we can bring the world some light." He looks to the drawings, pictures and other things they had of his dad and the others. She hums softly and got a mischivious idea "Yeah...be legendary..." she hums "like Nefeli! I heard she defeated 30 men with just a spear and no armor!" She imitates the movements of a spear "or like Polydeuces...i heard he kicked her ass after years of training!" Telemachus chuckles and watches her "being stuck with your story's.. but no clue who you are.. no idea if they're dead or just too far..." he sighs " somebody tell me.. come and give me a sign. If I fight those monsters is is you I'll find'

He quickly stands and joins her fake fighting "so, give us sirens and a Cyclopes. Give us giants and a hydra. We know life is big and scary. But we wanna be legendary!" they laughed tackling eachother giggling. The two friends got up and planed a way to sneak out "Yeah!!" She giggles grabbing his hand and storming out of the room, only to bump into atreus "So...should i ask why i heard merchants complain about brats stealing olives?" He raised an eyebrow at the two kids "hi..dad..." she gulps with an innocent smirk. Telemachus looks up at the other man with an innocent smile " o-oh.. hehe um.. I don't know.. couldn't have been us Uncle Atreus"

"Y-yea.. we've been here all day...father" she giggles nervously. He raise his eyebrow and sighs "Uh huh...then who this belongs to?" He pulls telemachus's crown from his belt "Oh shit..." she gulps "language missy" he frowns. Telemachus gulps "Ummm... quick what's that??" Telemacus takes his crown as ducks away from the man; laughing as he dragged his friend with him. Both giggling like the mischievous kids they were. Atreus shakes his head "ugh...kids" he mumbles following to make sure they wouldn't get in trouble.

"I can't believe that worked!" She giggles, telemachus stares at her for a few seconds, her smile and laugh made his heart beat faster "y-yeah!" He blushes lightly "You gotta have abit more faith in me An" Telemachus chuckles, trying to seem witty and flirty like how his mother described odysseus. As they hide around a corner "phew.. I think we lost him.. come on.. let's go be legendary!" He smiles. The two peaked on the suitors "There are strangers in our halls, trying to win the heart of my mom...But she is standing tall" telemachus frowns, both looking down as they walked past the suitors, one specific pushing telemachus onto An "hey!" She frowns, before she could do something stupid, telemachus pulled him with her "A hundred eight old faces of men who call us small...They keep taking space and it's not much longer we can stall..." he opens the door to the throne room, An looks in awe " 'Cause they're getting impatient, dangerous too and I would fight them...If I was half as strong as you..." she sighs "someone come help us..."

What they didn't know...It's that a certain owl was watching them closely...

An looks over the same group of men with worry "come and give us the strength....can we do whatever it takes to keep her safe?" They continue on there way "hey... haven't you been practicing your combat skills? " An beams " why don't we show these bullies that we're not to be pushed around?" she smirks.

Telemachus nods with a smirk. Atreus sighs from afar "they will get killed..."

Penelope walks slowly past the suitors, their eyes checking her out like a banquet rather than a queen "Where is the man with whom you'll spend your life? 'Cause it's been twenty years and we still have no king" she frowns stepping into her room and locking the door. the suitors laughed getting impatient. Antinous got closer to telemachus and harshly grabbed his hand "Boy! When's your tramp of a mother gonna choose a new husband? Why don't you open her room so we can have fun with her?" He smirks. Atreus stood behind telemachus, his grip on his sword "let the boy go...Antinous..." he scoffs.

Telemachus puffs out his chest, narrowing his brow, he slaps his hand away from the suitor " don't you dare call my mother a tramp!" Atreus frowns as well "yeah...don't call her a tramp..."

Antinous smirks "I just did...Whatchu gonna do about it, champ?" He chuckles "and you...you are as much as a coward as your brother..." he laughs "poor Polydeuces who was too scared to pick up a sword!! And you were too scared to go to war...failure" he spat. Telemachus preps for a fight '..somebody tell me..come and give me a sign. If I fight this monster is it you I'll find?' He thinks

Atreus's eye twitches "okay then.. let's do this." He cracks his knuckles "w-wait atreus..." telemachus stops, atreus was taken back "my prince...?" atreus frowns "...let me atreus" telemachus frowns determen "i can do this..." he steps foward, the suitors gathered around, some laughing and mocking him. Atreus looks down at the kid, reminding him of his brother "...okay then.. but if I see him try anything. I'm stepping in" He steps back to the crowd.

Telemachus shakenly lifts his fists to his face...he was unaware of the owl looking right at him...
