So we finally reached landfall at Aiolia Island where Aiolos hosted me and my crew. He sent me with a bag of winds, only to open a crack if the winds were to light. Of course my crew, they thought I had received treasure from this all-powerful king. And they wanted some for themselves so they opened up the bag. O the worst of storms we sailed through another day! Until we found ourselves washed up by the familiar land from that which we had just come.
But this time Aiolos wasn’t welcoming at all… in fact he chased us off of his island faster than Kyklops.
I really don’t know what to think of my crew anymore… I’m not sure that I can trust them to follow my order. It is getting to the point where it isn’t just annoying. It is causing damage. I am aging and am wary. Maybe I should forgive them and give them another chance, but what if something worse happens next time? Should I be to blame for their actions? For now, I think I will just disregard these careless actions… and like the gods have always taught of forgiveness, I need to lead by example. If I made a mistake I know that I would like to be forgiven.
The next time we hit solid land, we met the Lady Kirke. It was a rocky start in a love-hate relationship… but in the end, we left with a valuable lead—we must go to the land of the dead before we could continue any farther with our journey.
P.S.- There is a song that I found… it seems to relate to my situation right now very well…
Sometimes I feel like I am mistaken for a stranger among my crew. Check it out… it is called Mistaken for Stangers by: The National
