I did not hear what had happened to Odysseus after our battling in the great hall and wasn't surprise when I did hear. I'd gone home and returned to my wife Alexa. My daughter had been married in the time I away and I regretted missing that so much. Even my son was soon to be married. I was proud of all of them, sad for the missed time but at least they believed it was me.
It didn't take long for the rumor of Penelope's doubt spread to me. I understood, considering we had looked like homeless and poor beggars, that she did not believe it was her husband but an imposter! She spoke of how she had moved the bed Odysseus had built for her and he was outraged. His angry was ultimately what proved to Penelope his husband had returned. I smiled at the memories of my captain and I that our journey had needed. It was hard to face the families of all the men we had lost and I missed them all very much. But that is where my adventure ended and I was happy about that.
