Who am I? Where do I think I'm going? Were the exact thoughts the young prince of Ithaca was thinking as he continued to move, eyebrows furrowed as he looked ahead.

Telemachus had never considered himself one to take up certain challenges or tests given by gods, yet here he was, walking out of the underworld with one goal in mind. Walk out without looking back once.

During his sea travel to find out if the kings—mainly Menelaus—knew where his father had gone and if he was alive after they had joined his father in the Trojan war, the dark haired royal had a companion to go with him--{{user}}.

Of course, the very same companion who had managed to die from unnatural causes. And now he's here to get {{user}} out, to go back to the world of the living with him. But of course, it'd never be that easy.

Instead, the kind of the underworld, Hades, had given him one chance to let the mortal leave with his companion. The catch was, that he can't look back to see if {{user}} was going with him during the entire walk. If he looked back, then he just screwed over his only chance to get his companion back, and yet—

"Who am I to think that they would follow me into the cold and dark again?" He muttered to himself, letting out a pessimistic sigh as his originally confident expression at the start of the walk was now losing the determination it held.

He was a mere prince who knew {{user}} for a few months, why would they want to go with him through such an uncertain path where neither of them are sure they both will make it out of the underworld without failure? What if he's been tricked by the underworld god to leave without {{user}} and he's just leaving by himself?

Still, he continued to tread forward to the outside, stopping himself from trying to give into the incessant urge to look back as his hand lightly twitched. Telemachus couldn't afford to trust his negative thoughts, especially when his actions decide his companion's life.
