It's been ages since someone washed up on my island.
I was beginning to miss Odysseus, but I doubt he misses me.
As I got up to go feed my cats, I heard a loud thump coming from outside, so I ran over to see what it was.
"What in the name of-OH MY GODS!" I exclaimed.
An unconscious man laid there in the sand, & by the looks of him, he seemed to have fallen from the sky.
I whistled for my birds, and they flew over to where I was.
"Go and fetch the mortal-friendly ambrosia. Hurry!" I commanded, and they quickly flew off to get it.
While they were gone, I took a closer look at the man in the sand.
He was what people would call a hunk, because he WAS pretty muscular.
He wore a short toga, & a wolf-skin shawl was draped over his shoulders.
His skin was slightly tanned, and he had brown hair.
I couldn't tell what his eye color was, since his eyes were shut, but he had a scar on one eye.
In an incredible feat of strength, I picked him up and carried him into my house.
A few moments later, my birds came with the mortal-friendly ambrosia.
They put it on the nightstand in the guest bedroom, which was the room I was going to put the man in.
I put the man into bed & watched him like a hawk, just in case.
I wondered how this would turn out.
What could possibly go wrong?
