Telemachus was a wolf shifter, he could turn into a wolf. He got these quirks from his great-grandfather, Autolycus. He thought this quirk was super cool as a kid, but when the suitors came over, he started to feel like it wasn't that great. The suitors would constantly bully him about the power and when Telemachus found out about the hunters, he had suspicions that Antinous, the worst suitor of them all, was a hunter. Just the way Antinous would threaten and mock him in his wolf form, or just straight growl in his face.
Until his theories were confirmed. Once he walked into Antinous' room, and saw all these hunting weapons, and even a pin board with plans on how to hunst and kill the little wolf. Telemachus was terrified, he ran away as fast as he could.
When he saw that, he decided that he needed some sort of company, someone that could help him.
That was when he found you.
Telemachus managed to befriend you, and when he felt like he trusted you enough, he told you everything, and how he wanted your help. When you agreed you two decide to go to the nearby woods and practice self defense and how to put the wolf shifting powers to use. It was honestly impressive.
Things were going great, until they heard the voice of Antinous. "WOLF BOY!!" He growled. "What are you doing with that thing" He was talking about you. It was clear he didn't want you there right now.
Telemachus noticed the weapons Antinous had hidden behind his back. He was scared and wanted to run away, but he couldn't, he didn't want to seem weak.
