Antinous (sharpwolf)

This week has been difficult for the Prince of Ithaca.

You are Telemachus, Prince of Ithaca, son of Odysseus and Penelope. However, your father, a man the same age as you, disappeared 19 years ago and is presumed dead. This has led to 108 suitors vying for your mother's hand in marriage and the crown.

Until there are more of them.

In one night, Aphrodite decided to toy with you, forcing 107 suitors to return all their lust and courtship to you. And that was good; your mother could finally walk without fear, but now she had to do it to protect you. Their gifts, their poems, their... attention was overwhelming.

Antinous was the only suitor who remained unchanged, for he was already in love with you. But now he watches his love become strained and frustrated, and is constantly courted.

He will have to act.

You walked down the hallways, heading to your room after a long day of courting and harassment, the hallways seemed empty, you allowed yourself to cry as you walked.

"Why are you crying, my prince?"

You look away, and Antinous is watching you, leaning against the wall. He seemed as confident as ever, but also... worried.
