At last!!! After 20 years I am finally reunited with my beautiful child Telemekhos!! My, how he has grown since I last saw him, and words cannot express the joy that I feel at this very moment. After living on the island of Olygia, I had become accustomed to living without those I care the most about, but after being reunited with my son I realize that there is nothing more gratifying then seeing what a remarkable young man he has become. Ok, I get it, enough with the mushy stuff, right? But just let me brag for a second about how great of a warrior he has become. After our tearful (yes, the Great Odysseus, tearing up) reunion, we devised a plan to overthrow those vicious suitors taking over my kingdom. After deciding that a surprise attack from inside the palace would be our best bet, we cam e to the conclusion that I would enter the palace dressed as a beggar and then Telemekhos hides the palaces’ weapons in an area not easily accessible to the suitors, and then kill them with out own weapons. This is easier said then done however, keeping both my own and Telemekhos’ arrivals secret is a very difficult task in itself. In fact, we appointed Eumaios to be the one to tell my dear wife, Penelope of our son’s arrival. However, before Eumaios could even get to her, a messenger from Telemekhos’ ship came and informed the down. Only a minor misstep in the plan, this was, compared to the secret plan the suitor’s had to kill Telemekhos before he has time to call his arrival assembly!!! That would ruin everything!
Sorry for such a short bog this time, but I really have to go…the fate of my son depends on it!
