It is I, Telemakhos, still writing for my father. I am so angry at the ingnorance and stubbornness of this town. I called all the Akhaians to an assembly today to adress the topic of those pestering suitors. Well, do you want to know what was accomplished? Nothing, absolultey nothing. I gave my speech, and others helped me like Mentor. However all the suitors just kept agruing with me. They even went as far as to call my mother a trickster, and said they will only leave if one of them is to marry her. You cannot just betray someone who has shown considerable love and kindness to you. She is still in mourning of Odysseus. How is she to choose another husband, or worse, have her father decide for her? Even though the assembly failed to run out the suitors, I still will continue my search for info on my father. Mentor is helping get a ship and crew while I get provisions for the jouney to Pylos and Sparta. Mentor tells me not to worry about the suitors, and that their doom shall arrive shortly. Well, I am taking off in my ship with Mentor and a crew. A new journey begins tonight.
