No Longer You
[TIRESIAS]
I am the prophet with the answers you seek
Time, I've unlocked it
I see past and future running free
"That would suck," Frank said as he imagined having the ability to see the future, no thank you, he's happy with being able to turn into animals.
"Seriously?" Leo exclaimed, "It would be so cool!"
Annabeth shook her head, remembering the story of Cassandra and even Luke's mum, "There is a really why Tiresias is in the Underworld, Leo..."
There is a world where I help you get home
But that's not a world I know
"Helpful," Percy muttered as he remembered his experiences with the Oracle, not a fan.
Will frowned, feeling the urge to defend his half-brother, "It's not his fault that his visions aren't showing Odysseus at home!"
[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
What?
[TIRESIAS]
I see a song of past romance
"Aww Penelope."
I see the sacrifice of man
They gasped, seeing Polties, this musical really likes reminding them that Odysseus' pacifist friend was dead.
I see portrayals of betrayal
And a brother's final stand
"HA! Pay up!"
"Not yet!" Piper crossed her arms.
Jason laughed, "Pipes, Tiresais pretty much just confirmed that Eurylochus opened the wind bag, just pay him."
She shook her head, "Not until Eurylochus says it!"
I see you on the brink of death
I see you draw your final breath
I see a man who gets to make it home alive
But it's no longer you
"Odysseus dies?" Will asked as he frowns, what's the point of them watching a musical about a man who's going to die.
"I don't think so..." Reyna repeated the last line in her head, but it's no longer you, "No longer him, but that means it once was him?"
"That's right! The wording is odd!" Annabeth exclaimed, "If Odysseus was dead, Tiresias would have said it."
Percy shook his head, "I don't know... prophecies are usually spoken in riddles."
[ODYSSEUS]
This can't be
We've suffered and sailed through the toughest of hells
"Geez..."
Now you tell us our effort's for nothing?
"Hey! He said that you don't make it home, not everyone else!" Leo said, trying to make a joke about it but everyone was too bummed out to acknowledge him.
[TIRESIAS]
I see your palace covered in rеd
Faces of men who had long beliеved you're dead
"The suitors!" Piper gasped, remembering her time in Ithaca, her gross experience with the ghoul men.
Jason frowned, he had hoped that the musical wasn't going to show the suitors, his experience with them was less than pleasant...
I see your wife with a man who is haunting
A man with a trail of bodies
"Antinous?"
"No, Penelope was always fateful, maybe it's Odysseus?"
[ODYSSEUS, spoken]
Who?
"He truly is a student of Athena."
[TIRESIAS, ENSEMBLE]
I see a song of past romance
I see the sacrifice of man
I see portrayals of betrayal
And a brother's final stand
I see you on the brink of death (Siren song, Scylla throat)
"The sirens and scylla?"
"Annie! You remember before how you said it was either Sirens, Scylla, Circe or Charybdis? You were right!" Percy grinned proudly at his girlfriend.
Annabeth smiled, "I'm always right."
I see you draw your final breath (Mutiny, lightning bolt)
Reyna frowned, she had a feeling a mutiny was coming but she had hoped she was wrong.
I see a man who gets to make it home alive ([?])
(Kill all the suitors for love)
But it's no longer
You
"Oh gods! The next song isn't going to be good," Hazel realised as she noticed Odysseus' defeated state.
