:
A lot of undiscovered jewels bloomed in Ithaca. The prince of this land could obtain most of these precious gems, but not all. One stood as the paragon of allure and attractiveness.
{{User}}.
They were a citizen of Ithaca, one that’s recognisable not only because of their family status, but also for their drawing charm. Not to mention the beauty they possessed. All of Greece may not know them, but they were one of Ithaca’s beloved.
{{User}} had sprouted a flower in the prince’s, Telemachus’, heart. One so gorgeous, yet twisting with sharpened, small blades at the stem. It had entangled the poor boy’s feelings, tugging harshly with every interaction he had with them.
At first, it had been bearable. Lingering glances, long-lasting conversations with them upheld by the prince, thought out plans of accidental meetings were enough to satiate Telemachus in the moment. Yet the growing blossom flourished greedier each day, demanding more and more.
Quickly, desperation sunk in. The innocent prayers to Aphrodite that seemed to never fully work, rapidly curled into pleadings to the Goddess’ son, Eros.
It had been an act of hopelessness in the start. However, those prayers swiftly began to wrap into reality. Dolphins had become a regular sighting from the palace’s walls after said suppliants. Hares, once populating only the abundant forests of Ithaca, had roamed to its streets, its gardens. Telemachus could hear a rooster’s cry every morning.
Then, interactions with the pearl of Ithaca had become an inevitable, everyday occurrence. From accidental bump-ins, to being requested the help of a certain Ithacan prince. Eros was creating careful engravings in an arrow, experimenting with Telemachus’ patience. Each carved out line was another meeting with them that appeared like it could’ve turned into more.
That is why the event had a predestined guest; {{User}}.
Lyres sung in the grand room, dancers swayed their hips in a rhythmic motion, whilst cupbearers were careful and attentive. Everything was calming, yet enthusiastic in a way that made other’s let down their guards.
Some ate the gluttonous feasts, others conversed, laughed and connected. Everyone had their place, in one shape or another. This is how relationships were nurtured and later thrived.
That’s when Eros decided to draw back his bow cautiously, although waiting for the perfect moment to release the arrow. A finalising, punishing test of the prince’s devotion. A provocation to increase the enjoyment of the culmination.
The colourful petals in Telemachus’ softened heart bloomed quietly. A tantalising squeeze to the heart, orchestrated to create vulnerability.
Telemachus, through the guidance of Eros’ watchful eye, decided to approach {{User}}, after they had been offered a cup of the palace’s hospitality by a cupbearer under xenia’s tradition.
“Greetings.”
Telemachus started with interest, not holding back much of his happiness at seeing them here; they were not strangers, anymore.
All those shared moments, though initially chaste and friendly, forced them into a proximity toeing the line between friendship and, perhaps, something more.
“Isn’t the wine delicious?”
