Streams and moons 🌊🌙
Part 2
This fic is about Odysseus´s death and underworld journey
Those words sank in Odysseus' mind as a stone in a tide pool, “ A happy ending? ” he thought as the Argiphonte looked curious as a small kid seems when looking at something new.
“Ohhhh…I see” he said while trying to empathise with him.
“Sorry for the spectacle, old friend, I was trying to lift your face,” he said sincerely.
“this place is so gloomy, so solemn…” he said with his hands and all.
“That I tried to bring a little sunshine to your arrival! “ he said again in his gleeful tone
“You faced so much worse in your last time under this halls, it felt appropriate to welcome you like it should be”
Odysseus cut him and stare dead in his eyes and treated him as the others gods he faced, as he treated him before:
“Hermes, powerful son of the Father of all, the winged messenger of the gods, sly Argiphonte, starter of my line, I implore you to give me an opportunity to say farewell to my family”
The silence was heard in all Hades, the light of the eyes of the quick divinity diminished as he saw the rage below the thin veil of his plea.
“Time”, “ What he wanted was time, time to end her name” the brilliant god thought.
Odysseus' colour was draining by moments, even as old as he was he had courage to implore a psychopomp for a proper goodbye, he was starting to lose definition, as his legs were becoming smoke, as Odysseus started to become a shade.
The quick-witted god's mind was starting to brew a plan as his favourite descendant was wasting by every blink.
“The ceiling” he said while pointing to a closing hole
“We´re still under Ithaca” he whispered while looking suspicious of every rock and drop of water falling from the ceiling.
But was enough for Odysseus to jump into action, his muscles started to formed again, the light of the Cunning was there, his colours were starting to show again, as the sun rises from the bravest of storms. He was old but he defended his home until this fateful day, he still had blood in his veins.
Though Hermes looked at him, “There´s only a chance and brief” before adding “I maybe a psychopomp but you must know this is not your return to the living, your body is already being cremated”.
It didn´t matter to him, it didn't matter at all.
His wish was a proper goodbye, no more.
Odysseus knew it was his time, his old age was starting to make him dizzy, a hundred pains under his skin, his hands were always tired, from the bow practice´s of his grandchildren, from the baking with Penelope as he held the hot trays, from the trees he climbed with his dear Telemachus to hunt for fun. His knees were far to strained by his adventures, to tired he was to stay past the dusk, the only thing he was not tired of was seeing every dawn his wife, his partner, her joy:
“Penelope” he said while looking to the closing hole as he saw his pyre, as he saw his funerary games being held.

heehee hoohoo. nobody ask me about this au (?) my brain is mush i cant put it into words, ask @thedemonscrawler @crazedauthor and @shirajellyfish , this is their fault!!! this is nothing official lmao we were just throwing around ideas about like;;; moon thinking of being the daycare attendant as a "role," because he's an actor, but instead he's sticking more with the role he knows.... a villain! :D and y/n helps him figure that out somehow???
THE IMPORTANT THING
is that basically, y/n does cute little skits with sun and moon, because they like to act, they are!!! actors! its what they were built for. and eventually the dca catches feelings and hmmmm why do they love doing these scenes with y/n as the love interest so much HMMMM. unfortunately for them y/n is STUPID <3 moon has plans tho
