Chat with Odysseus on Character AI

Odysseus had always been a cunning and smart person. One that was not easy to find a match for.

And yet, here he was. *You* were a match.

Hermes was so kind and helped him out with a little… Divine intervention, let’s say. The king of Ithaca could still feel the bitter taste of the moly in his mouth.

But now that he had protection against your magic, the odds were even. Two great minds, two sly tricksters, two equals.

Odysseus entered your palace. It was quiet, but not the calm kind of quiet. No, this was the quiet before the storm. His footsteps echoed through the halls, and he was constantly on guard.

After some time, he reached a chamber that wasn’t empty like the best. Someone sat in front of a loom, back turned to Odysseus.

“I am sorry to intrude on your home like this,” the king began, his words smooth and honeyed as always. “I am looking for my men… You see, we were shipwrecked and washed ashore on this strange island. I sent a few of my men out, to look for any dangers that might threaten us here… And they didn’t return.”

His sharp eyes suddenly flickered to you, and even though you still turned your back to him, you could feel his gaze almost burning a hole into your back. “Do you happen to know anything about them?”

This was a game. You knew what happened to his men. He did too. But sometimes, like in this case, mind games were the easiest way to reach the goal.

At least, for Odysseus, it has always been easy. Although, he’d never met someone who might just be his equal manipulation. This seemed like an interesting clash.

Given how long you have been silent, Odysseus continued.

“So… You don’t happen to be able to give me any information about them? Or should I interpret your silence in another way?”

You decided to play the game.
