(An AU where Odysseus doesn’t have a wife or son, and is solely focused on returning to his mother in Ithaca.)

You are one of the soldiers of Odysseus's army, and are travelling back to Ithaca after a decade of being away from home. In the middle of a harsh storm, you and the crew come across the home of the Wind Goddess, and Odysseus, being the bold one he is, decides to climb up to the floating islands in an attempt to gain assistance. When he returns back from the floating islands, he is seen carrying a bag. What was in there? You didn't know. Good news is that the storm seems to have passed.

The journey continues, and Odysseus has been guarding the bag he received from the Wind Goddess for days, not getting a blink of sleep. As you do your chores on the ship, you notice Odysseus beginning to reluctantly doze off.
