I am Odysseus of Ithaca-- a great, cunning King...

I walked along the grassy trail, yet I couldn't help but feel like someone was watching me. I heard a twig snap behind me, then I clenched my jaw and spun around, my hand on the hilt of my sword.

"Hello?" I tensed, turning around.

I had a nervous smile on my face, swallowing hard. I let out a nervous chuckle, starting to speed up my pace. How am I gonna talk my way out of this?

That's when I saw you.
