My Epic: The Musical brainrot is in full force, I’m having dreams about it. (something I rarely even get for TMA.)
Anyways, I had a dream the other night where Polites was a siren, a bird siren, and he landed on Odysseus’s ship, although Odysseus wasn’t the captain, and they were both pretty young.
So, Polites is like “hello there, friends, I am but a humble stowaway, please have mercy” and the nameless captain and crew are ready to accept that, but then Odysseus is like “wait, you’re a siren” and holds a knife to Polites’s throat and threatens him.
I forget some of it, but it ended up being that Polites was tired of killing humans and the other sirens didn’t like that and injured him, so that’s why he hid on their ship, and then he and Odysseus become best friends.
Also, I thought Polites’s siren design was cool, I can’t draw, but the best I can describe it was that he had digitigrade bird legs, wings on his back, but also feathers on his arm that could smooth down and look more human. He also could somehow just look human, I don’t know how, just dream logic or siren magic or something.
