We've landed on the Island of Circe. She is the goddess of enchantment and has enchanted our captain!!! For weeks he has talked of nothing but home- but now he seems content to stay here and um shall we say be with Circe alone. So much for missing his wife!!! Us men are content but how long are we to stay here? I (Lysander) want to return home to marry you o fair Rosalie. Tadd has overheard Circe and Odysseus talking of what has to happen before we can return home. First we had to travel to the underworld to get advice from the blind prophet's spirit. We saw many untold horrors. Later Zander over heard Circe telling Odysseus of more dangers that were to come before we could return home. First we were to pass demon sirens that would sing and tempt us to listen. Listening will cause us to lose hope of home and want to go to the demons. They will promptly eat us for they are carnivorous beasts. Next there will be a strait that we will sail through with a demon whirlpool on one side and a 12 legged, 6 headed beast on the other. Either way, we die. The beast is immortal so there is no way to kill this so called Scylla. The whirlpool will either suck us into the depths of the sea or spit us onto the rock. Either way we will perish. If we are to survive this, then we will arrive on the island of the sun god. His cattle and sheep graze here. Us being men will want to eat these, but if any of the livestock are to be slaughtered, then all of the crew will perish. We have gotten to know the crew over the past three years. (yes its been that long!!!!!!) They go mad listening to no reason when they here cattle mentioned. We don't want to die!!! There must be a way to escape. We are going to talk to Circe. More later.
Lysander, Tadd, Zander
P.S. That is the Scylla!! Ahhh!! don't want to meet it!!!
