#erysich

Shitty OC version of original under the cut

Erysich, my love, you who understands my pains because you share the very same pain, I thank the gods for our meeting, I cherish you like none other, for you have comforted me when my mind fills with prophecy or worry, you were always there with warm touch and soft words to soothe my heart. You are unlike any other on earth, no mortal or god is similar, you have been treated like a monster your entire existence, you are as deadly as the Minotaur for your hunger is endless and your greatest pleasure is devouring men whole, I understand how that is horrifying but when I see you overcome with the pleasure of it I can not help but feel the same.

Now I write of the mastermind Oysseus, you cunning man with a mind that rivals gods. You gave me insurmountable sorrow from slaying my kin and my people with help from that wretched wooden horse you fooled my land into believing was a gift to Athena and Troy and yet you are the only man able to believe my prophecies. I thank you for letting me journey with you as you follow the commands of gray eyed Athena and for giving me the only place I truly feel at home, you are the reason I met my lovely Erysich, the things I have done with you are countless, far too many to list here. I often think that the fates enjoy the irony of our relationship, of how you helped kill my family who hated me then years later you accepted me as your companion as you and your crew loved me as your own.

Next I shall write about golden eyed Medea, you wily woman, skilled at the works of Hecate to kill and poison countless men, I admit I am quite frightened of you but your demeanor eases this fear inside my heart, I am unsure who the better schemer, you or Odysseus, time and time again you have proved yourself a valuable crew member and friend.

Ulysses… I am sorry for taking part in your creation, your suffering is undeniably horrible, I have asked Apollo to make he who shakes the earth, Poseidon and lord of wine and madness Dionysus to release you from their grasp but they refuse, I hope next time our paths cross I can help soothe your pain.
