The crew was hanging on by a thread, the captain was stabbed and tied to a post. Would they make it home now? No. No they wouldn’t because just as they were trying to skedaddle from the sun gods island after killing one of his cows, Zeus showed up.

He talked for a while, playing with the cloud’s strangely. Then he addressed Odysseus.

”Tell me, Odysseus, If I were to make you choose the lives of your men and crew or your own. Why do I think they'd lose Enlighten me, King of Ithaca. Since hunger was far too great, I wonder who'd take the weight of the damned and suffer a gruesome fate-“ ———————————————— ”Someone’s gotta die today and you have got the final say. You? Or your crew?”

Zeus smirked at the surprise on Odysseus’ face, the slow panic that set into the mortals face was pathetic. The gods eyes shifted throughout the crew, studying them til they found one man in particular. Eurylochus.

Zeus’ smirk widened as he spoke again. ”Or of course, this mortal will do. Easy way to get out of this.” Zeus continued to stare at the man, a strange look in his eyes. Not a good sign coming from him.
