    Summary

    “Astyanax. Or… Scamandrius,” the one-eyed monster says, and laughs. “Named after both the city and river you were taken from. Fitting.”

    He leans in close. The boy can smell the sourness of blood on his breath.

    “Kill them for me, won’t you?” he breathes, voice hypnotizing. “Take from them,” and here his voice becomes deeper, rougher, scarier, and the boy lets out a cry of fear at the look on his face, “like they took from us.”

     

    Or: 11 times someone tells Astyanax his true identity, plus 1 time he decides who he is for himself.

    Summary

    Morpheus, the God of Dreams, takes pity on the King and Queen of Ithaca. Odysseus’s return is many years away, yet his and Penelope’s minds find each other in sleep. It’s both a blessing and a curse, and sometimes all that keeps them going.

    Queen Penelope stepped into the dream as easily as crossing a threshold, and with her came the sun, as if Helios's carriage rode atop her billowing black hair. The carnage vanished in her presence, the ground no longer a battlefield but a sloping grassy hill dotted with olive trees. Her bright blue eyes almost glowed, searching the hillside with clear intent.

    The King of Ithaca stood, gazing at her as if she were a vision of Aphrodite herself. The blood streaking his face and staining his hands evaporated in the wake of her sunlight, the dead bundle in his arms vanishing with it.

    Morpheus stared as well, unable to believe that she stood before them. It was no shaped dream becoming a nightmare, no conjuration of the King’s mind to protect himself. It was her, slipping into his dream as if it were a room in their home. Answering her husband’s desperate cries.
