Okay, the following contribution I have to offer is not an opening to a series; it's merely a stand alone piece of... fanfiction.

Hospitality on Ogygia

‘How much longer must I endure the confines of this island,
still so far removed from the shores of my native dominion?
How much longer must I remain your unwilling companion,
going to sleep in your arms and waking up in the morning
only to weep on the beach where my drowned companions decayed?’

‘What, my silver-tongued guest? Is my company so abhorrent?
Why then have you not yet with diligent hands built a raft
which would carry you swiftly across the glittering ocean?’

‘There you mock me again. You know that I am but mortal.
Give me water to drink on the voyage and food for survival.
And before I set sail, grant me your solemn assurance
that you are setting me free with auspicious winds and your blessings
and have no intention of sending me into misfortune.’

‘Come and pleasure me now. I will think about your request.’
I feel a mythology coming on.
Nice short take Ranai.
once I plow through the bowl of serial I'll have to try a short take as god originally intended this thread to be.
