Suffering/Different beast


It's been a few days after the underworld...the crew became distant from eachother, specially Polydeuces amd Nefeli from odysseus. The poor woman could still hear the screams of agony, but her thoughts were interrupted by her lover "here...i thought you would be thirsty" he hums offering her wine "hmn...thank you..." she mumbles taking it.
The small critter purrs climbing to her head and cuddling it "hey...he likes your hair now" he chuckles "i thought he already did..." she raised an eyebrow "well...your...hair changed a lot since...all that..." he gently touched the cloud like hair "why can't i feel your hand...???" She frowns desperately touched it "....Polydeuces....give it to me straight...am i bold?!" She tears up a bit. Polydeuces holds back his laughs "n-no no....just look" he chuckles grabbing his shield and showing the poor panicked woman her reflection "huh...what in the name of the gods...?" She gasped in surprice. Her blond hair changed to clouds, bended and formed to simulate her old head "this is weird...and my eye changed as well..." she mumbles "p-polydeuces....w-what am i?" She mumbles. The poor man did not know how to respond "I-" but he was interrupted by eurylochus "everyone! Look!" He said pointing at a floating ship....no crew on board "huh...thats...weird" she mumbles. But their captain knew exactly what it meant "everyone...put bee wax on your ears...we are getting closer to siren territory...their voices can lure us to our doom...." he shoves beewax to Nefeli's arms "alright....gods...your balls just dropped huh..." she frowns "when i give you the signal...you attack with your spear" Odysseus orders, she sighs putting it on, she saw Polydeuces mumble something "WHAT?!" she yells "CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" He yells back "WHAAAAAT!?" she yells. Lotus whines covering his ears.

Soon, the crew noticed the sirens approching...three took pretty familiar forms for nefeli, Polydeuces and odysseus "Don't you miss me?" The three said at once. Nefeli frowns at her fake mother "More than you know..." she mumbles, so did odysseus "Then jump in the water and kiss/hug me" the three sirens swam closer to them "Penelope, I've told you this before....You know I'm afraid of the water" he smiles gently "and mother...you know i can't swim" Nefeli giggles "and my dear sister, i hate the sea" Polydeuces sighs. The sirens looked confused, three idiots scared of water....sailing? "We'll make sure that you are safe and sound...Come play with me and our daughter and let's watch our love leave the ground" fake penelope splashes water around after showing him a fake telemachus, Nefeli hums "come on my dear daughter, your sisters are waiting" the fake mother said "come on brother! Our parents are waiting!!" Fake sister said, Polydeuces looked hurt only to be elbowed by Nefeli, shaking her head "Oh, I would...But I'd be suffering trying to float the whole time..." nefeli exagerates her desperation, getting weird looks from the crew "I would take the suffering from you" fake mother tried to snatch Nefeli but Polydeuces pulls her away pretending to dance with her "Ooh, as good as that sounds, right here I'm just fine!" He smiles "I can take the suffering from you!!" Fake sister yells irking frustrated a bit "You know that I prefer my feet on the ground!!" Odysseus smiles walking on the railings "I will take the suffering from you!!" Penelope groans "Fine, but only if you answer a question or two..." he sat down, he gives a sign to Polydeuces and Nefeli...as if saying to help the crew capture the sirens, both nodded and got to work "Of course!!" She smiles.

Odysseus hides a smirk "Okay, so let's say I was on the run or hiding...From I don't know Poseidon! And let's say he blocked the way home with giant waves and giant storms!!" He exagerated the mimicry of everything that has been going on "Oh, no!!" Fake penelope said sarcasticly. Meanwhile, the crew struggled to get the sirens up into the ship, nefeli grabbed the siren that was faking the looks of her mother "S-stop!" But before she could keep calling for help, the young warrior coldly cut her tongue "shhhhh...i no longer hear screams..." she mumbles with a sickening grin. From afar, Polydeuces stared concerned about his lover, ever since the underworld he noticed how much her demenor changed, how her welcoming nature turned into an arrogant, prideful person...it scared him.

Meanwhile, odysseus was questioning the sirens "How am I to evade him? How am I to get home? Which route should I take? Where am I supposed to go?" Filling the air with questions, reading every move of their lips "He will chase you high and low..." fake penelope mumbles thinking "So find a place he'd never go...The one way you'll get home..Is sailing where he's scared to roam, oh It's through the lair of Scylla" she smirks...her grin showed her masive fangs. Odysseus stared in disbelief and pain "No..." he mumbles "This is your only way home...The lair of Scylla" she got closer as odysseus sank in shame "But Scylla has a cost..." he sighs, the siren simply checked her nails uncaring for the difficult choise "Well, you asked and now you know...Now, jump in the water!" She slashes the water with a smile, getting even more frustrated "Penelope, why? You know I'm too shy and terrified!" He lifts his leg up and tucks a strand of hair behind his ear shily "I would take the suffering from you!" She got even closer to him... "Ooh, for you, I would die, but can't you let me stay dry?" He smiles turning his back, making sure all the sirens were secured, he smirks "I can take the suffering from you!!" She got even closer, odysseus turns with a gentle smile "You should come onto the ship! We'll jump at the same time!!" He pats the railings, and with that...his plan succeded, the siren jumped on the railings "I will take the suffering from you" she smirks reaching for him, odysseus sighs with a chuckle "Ah, the things I do for you..." he gives nefeli the sign...

With a powerful thrust of her spear, odysseus moved out of the way as the siren's shoulder was impaled, she screeches in agony...nefeli dragged her to the deck of the ship before pinning her with a knife to the neck "Let's cut the charade, you are no wife of mine!! You've been tryin' to take my life this whole time!! I know underwater, there are packs of you hiding....Yeah, I know exactly what you are, a siren.." he glares down at it while the siren hissed loudly "My real wife knows I'm not scared of the water...And my real wife knows I don't have a daughter!!" He grabs the chin of the siren "my mother is dead....and Polydeuces parents died long ago..." nefeli glares at the fake sister and mother, Polydeuces frowns at this "But while you were so focused on turning our men into snacks..." Nefeli chuckles darkly "You didn't notice that your friends got snatched" Nefeli's eye glew slightly as she smirks, the siren looks at her terrified and surpriced "What?!" She gasps as nefeli grabbed her by the hair and threw her to the other restrained sirens "We are a different beast now, we are the ones who feast now...No more of us deceased, 'cause we won't take more suffering from you..." the crew stalked closer to them, Polydeuces almost staying behind as the mere look of his sister hurted his heart even more, but for nefeli...the disrespect of this siren pretending to be her dead mother, she had to make her pay "We are the man-made monsters, we are the ones who conquer...You are a threat no longer, we won't take more suffering from you..." a siren tried to attack odysseus when he got closer, but Nefeli stabbed her spear against it's shoulder "We've been away from home for about 12 years or so...First, we slayed in our own war, and now, we're here with more foes...While on the run from Poseidon, we found a ship with no crew...I realized nearby, there were sirens, singing sailors to their dooms!" He walked around them, he slowly took the beeswax from his ears, the crew doing the same "We filled our ears with beeswax, that's how we resist your song
You pretended to be my wife, so I just played along...I read your lips and phrases, scanning for information
Sirens know about every route and horizon..Now I know how to get back to my island!" He glares down at the sirens, the crew pulled out their blades "hope you realize how fucked you all are right now..." nefeli mumbles, grabbing the hair of the fake mother "We are a different beast now, we are the ones who feast now...No more of us deceased, 'cause we won't take more suffering from you...We are the man-made monsters, we are the ones who conquer...You are a threat no longer, we won't take more suffering from you..." the crew stalked even closer, waiting for orders. The sirens got all together and tried to act cute "Spare us... Oh, spare us, please!" They begged, odysseus scoffs "Why? So you can kill the next group of sailors in this part of the sea?Nah, you wouldn't have spared me..." he tightens his fist "I made a mistake like this, it almost cost my life...I can't take more risks of not seeing my wife! Cut off their tails! We're ending this now...Throw their bodies back in the water...Let them drown.." he slowly walked off as the crew got to do the deed. The sirens screeched in fear and agony as the crew members slowly cut their tails one by one.

The fake mother backs away from nefeli as she stalks closer "m-my dear daughter please!! Have mercy on me...i can still be your family, you don't need anyone else! You don't need him!!" She points at Polydeuces...rage engulfed inside of nefeli, her clouds became black and filled with thunder showing how pissed she was "shut your mouth..." she mumbles, before the siren could say another word...Nefeli grabbed her by the neck "he is the only family i have now...." she scoffs, her hand tightens and a bright light formed around her arm. The siren screeches in agony as she was fried by a thunder until she was nothing but a carbonated corpse, Nefeli just ditched the body overboard. The problem was...using that much energy cost a lot out of her...making her pass out.

"Nefeli!" Polydeuces runs to her, catching nefeli on his arms "w-what have i done...?" She mumbles realizing her actions "i.....i am a monster..." she tears up "it was....necesary..." he sighs hugging her gently.

Odysseus scoffs "weak..." he mumbles, the crew stared at Odysseus after what they have done "He is a different beast now, he is the one who feasts now...No more of us deceased, 'cause he won't take more suffering from you...He is the man-made monster, he is the one who conquers..You are a threat no longer, he won't take more suffering from you..." the screeches of the agonizing sirens echo through the sea like a sickening melody...and with that, the horrible jov was done. the sirens sank to the bottom of the sea, drowning without their tails. The deck of the ship coated in their blood...

Polydeuces gave a nasty look at his captain, fearing he would hurt everyone in order to get home "i've got you...nefeli..." he mumbles.
