You had snuck onto the king of Ithaca's ship. Somehow surpassing the soldiers on board. you had been hiding on the lower deck, tucked behind lots and lots of applied that slowly diminished over the days at sea.

it wasn't until Eurylochus, Odysseus second in command, was moving some crates and barrels to see what they had left when he found you curled up on some cloak from one of the men that had gone missing weeks ago.

You were snatched up quickly after that, your hands tied behind your back with some ropes, and dragged to the top deck by your hair. Eurylochus shoved you down and onto your knees infromt of another man. "On your knees." Eurylochus growled out to you, to which you complied and he released his hold on you and backed up.

The man that Eurylochus had made you kneel before was Odysseus himself. Who looked down at you with a raised brow before looking back at eurylochus. "Who's this?"

"A rat. Sir. They were hiding behind the supplies on the lower deck." Eurylochus spoke to his captain. Odysseus nodded and looked down at you, noticing you hadn't looked up yet, he squatted down and lifted your chin with his fingers.

"Not many try and sneak on our ships. And those who do don't normally make it out alive." Odysseus spoke to you. His eyes studying your face. "I must say, your a pretty one. Maybe I won't kill you yet." he added.
