My Oddyssey

After leaving Troy to make my way home to Ithaca I have my first encounter with other

Gods. At this moment, I’m encountering the Gods Scylla and Charybdis. Scylla was a six headed

monster(teachers) and Charybdis had the ability to shapeshift into a whirlpool of

people(students). To make it from here safely I had to focus on everything around me that was

going on. This plan worked out flawlessly and My crew and I were able to escape perfectly fine.

A few hours later after passing Scylla and Charybdis I found myself at Aeolia Island.

Here is when I met up with Aeolus the King of the Island, he gave me a magical bag of wind that

has the ability to blow everything away. During our stop here we as a crew decided to go for a

run(on the track) in the afternoon. Well on this afternoon one of my crew members became

jealous that I wouldn’t show what was in the bag, so they decided to open it. This was a bad

choice by them as the force of the wind made everyone go off track of the way we were running.

Luckily I was able to reach the bag and get it closed but we did lose some people with this

incident.

The next morning we left Aeolia Island and traveled to The Island of Thrinacia to visit

the Cattle of Helios(Cattle of the Sun). During our time here we were met by a prophet who gave

us some ground rules of the island. The most important rule he gave us was to leave the

cattle(basketball players) alone. If we did it would take longer for us to make it to Ithaca, but If
we didn’t we would make it to Ithaca smoothly. While I was talking to the other people around I

saw some of the crew members messing with cattle(players) because of this were cursed to be

stranded at sea for longer than we expected to be.

After a long time of traveling we experienced a bad situation that led us to be in the Land

of the Dead. In the Land of the Dead I searched around for people to give me ways to get out of

the underworld. The first person I spoke to was my grandmother, she told me that my family was

doing great at home. She also told me that I would have to sacrifice something to make it back

above. I went to the ship and grabbed some of the animals we had and then sacrificed them to the

gods and after that we were out of the underworld.

Almost nearing home we’ve reached our final stop, the Land of the Lotus Eaters. These

are strange people all around, they’ll try to bribe you into doing things that will make you lose

control of your mind and more. They used food to tric some of us into their mind control, this

ultimately led to a portion of my crew losing their minds. Once we made it out of The Land of

the Lotus Eaters it was smooth sailing back to Ithaca,
