I finally get up to where she's at and she starts asking me questions like where am I from and who raised me and what my name was. I tried avoiding them by saying that I don't want to talk about my home. Then she told me about all of the horrible things that went on here back at home. She told me that when people started thinking I was dead that all of these suitors started coming and asking her to marry them. She said she wouldn't though because she wasn't giving up. Then she told me that they finally told her that I'm not coming back that I'm dead so its time to marry. She said okay but first she need to make this shrug first then she would pick one to marry. She said she would work all day and then take it all out during the night, that worked for awhile but then they caught her so she was forced to finish it. Then she tells me she's about to give up because her parents and everyone except her boy was pressuring her into marrying. It pained me to hear this because she was my wife and I cared for her so much. She then asked me again where I was from and who I was and who raised me and instead I told her that I have seen her husband Odysseus and he is alive and well and on his way home. Hopefully that will raise her spirits a bit.
Well wish me luck on everything else. Hopefully all goes according to plan. I'm also hoping that Penelope will recognize me when all of this is over. I'm also praying that we will win the battle. I'm meaning that I want revenge for what these suitors have done here. I won't give up until I win, so hopefully all goes well. Well wish me luck.
