Circe The Witch

The landing on Circe island was hell on earth, getting ashore was hard my crewmen and I were very tired from the lack of food water and rest. After a couple of minutes I sent twenty-three of my men to search for food and water, as my men walked into the jungle of the island they could hear a sweet melody coming from deep in the jungle my men out of curiosity followed the sound of the voice after coming from out of the jungle they found a high cliff that lead to house the sound of Circe singing continued . My men climbed the cliff to find a house that had lions, wolfs, tigers, and monkeys, in front of it. My men continued to follow the voice until the came to Circe door step her servants invited the men into her home for food and water, the men ate and drunk minutes later the men turned into animals but some Eurylochos managed to escape and returned to me giving me the devastating news, immediately Eurylochos was begging me to leave and gather the rest of the men and leave the island for he told me it was a witch who turned my men into animals and sung a sweet tune to rill them in. I urged to set sail and leave my men I didn’t know the condition of this problem so I went alone not wanting any more of my men in danger. As I was claming the cliff to Circe home I was visited by the messenger god Hermes he gave me information on Circe and what should be done Hermes gave me an poison that would make me immune to her potion that turned my men into animals. As I entered her humble of berg I was offered wine and food as drunk the wine her eyes got huge surprised that I yet had not turned into an animal drew my sword at her neck and demanded that she turn my men back to their self’s now, then she made me an offer I couldn’t refuse she offered me to sleep with her for my men to be restored. After her seduction she turned my men back into there self’s my men and I stayed for awhile allowing her servants to cater to us but they tricked us they were feeding me and my men Lotus pedals the pedals clear are minds of everything. While me and my men thought we were on her island for a five days was really five years the others crewmen had died most likely starvation, as I realized this my heart jumped I knew I had to leave this place and return home I ask Circe how to get home from her island she replied that I had to enter the under world to meet a man know as Teiresias I had to visit him before I could return home. Circe gave me a ship and supply for me and my men and we headed off to home.
