After sailing for days, we came upon an island; first destination, the island of Pylos. There they were having a sacrificial feast in regards to the god Poseidon. I figured in order to find out anything, I would fisrt have to approach their leader; Nestor. When I inquired about the where-abouts of my father, Nestor replied in great length. With the help of my friend Mentor, I ended the conversation with a couple of leads: A name... the red-haired Menelaos... I recieved a noble steed from Nestor hisself and I was offered a meal and a stay at his palace for up to 12 nights!
Of course Mentor had to refuse this before I could accept... =(. I would've rather spent some time here... it is a nice place, Nestor maintained. I felt safe there. My friend Mentor really pushes me along on this journey... I'm still not totally sure what I'm getting myself into. But I've learned through my elders that one needs to approach challenges in order for them to grow as a person.
Sure enough, the next morn, we were off to Lakedaimon.
This is Telémakhos signing off...
P.S- While I was at the castle, I drew some of the plans for this grand estate... it was amazing!!!
