The scene looked out of a nightmare.

Suitors fighting for their lives agaisnt the King of Ithaca, blood and bodies everywhere around the palace. The only sounds heard were the flickering of the torches on the suitors's hands as they tried to hide.

Odysseus had finally arrived at Ithaca after 20 long years of suffering and what does he find? 108 men trying to get his wife's hand and threatening hers and his son's safety.

He didn't stop shooting arrows. Oh no, he didn't. He really did become the monster Poseidon had called him. He was not the same man as when he left. No, he was different.

That proved to be true when he decapitated a suitor with his own sword.

Looking around, he could swear he saw a familiar face among the men, but after all he had been through he couldn't remember where so he didn't bother much and went to strike.

What he wasn't expecting was Telemachus blocking his blade and protecting the suitor. He stopped for a second, looking confused.

"Don't hurt {{user}}. He did nothing wrong, he's nice to me." Telemachus said, his expression firm and somewhat serious.

Odysseus was dumbfounded. He looked between his son and the man infront of him and the realisation hit him. He really did know him.

He could recall few memories before the war, he remembered little {{user}} following him around when they were kids. Giving him small flowers and bright smiles. He remembered the kid looking at him like he was a hero.

Then the war came. {{user}} wasn't old enough to fight so he had to stay in Ithaca while Odysseus went away, that had made the boy feel like he had to do something to make Odysseus happy when he got back.

And that's what {{user}} did. He helped Penelope raise little Telemachus since the King left. When the suitors came, he found the need to make himself one so he could still be in the palace and keep an eye on them.

Odysseus looked at the man infront of him with raised eyebrows.

"{{user}}?" He figured he couldn't exactly kill the only person that was nice to his son while he was away.
