Odysseus and Hercules had begun to eat the meal that Elena had cooked for them as she poured some wine into the goblets. "Mm this roast boar tastes good!" Said Hercules as Odysseus ate his grilled lamb with vegetables, Elena smiled at them and took a sip of wine and then began to eat, Hercules sank his teeth into some more roast boar and chewed it as Elena ate some olive's.
"This grilled lamb is the best I have tasted in a long while" said Odysseus as he picked up his goblet of wine, Elena smiled and thanked him as she reached out for some bread. Hercules continued to chew on his roast boar as he reached out for some olive's, "save some for me Hercules" said Odysseus as he looked at him and raised an eyebrow, Hercules was to busy eating to notice him and stuffed some olive's into his mouth.
Odysseus took some olive's quickly before Hercules could eat them all making Elena smile, and hour or so later Elena, Hercules and Odysseus had finished their meal. "I could not eat another thing I am full" said Odysseus as he leaned back on the chair, "I still have room for more" said Hercules, "yes I'm sure you do Hercules" said Odysseus, a moment later Odysseus, Hercules and Elena laughed.
"Well we must be on our way soon" said Odysseus, "so soon?" Said Elena, "yes, I must go home to my wife" said Odysseus, "and I must continue my journey" said Hercules. "Well it was good seeing you again Hercules and you too Odysseus, you can stay for the night" said Elena, "thank you, we shall leave early in the morning" said Odysseus, several hours later Hercules and Odysseus had fallen asleep in their chairs as Elena slept in her bed.
The next morning...
Hercules and Odysseus had already awoken and stood outside Elena's house about to leave, "safe journey to you both" said Elena. "I'm sure we shall meet again some day" said Hercules, "yes I am sure we will" said Odysseus, "goodbye my friend's" said Elena as Hercules and Odysseus walked away down the street towards the harbour, Elena stood there at the door and stared ahead of her and looked at the sea.
"Maybe I should go on a journey of my own" she wondered as she watched the bird's soaring through the sky, after a few minutes of thinking, Elena had made a decision. "I shall go on a journey and I shall prepare now!" thought Elena as she closed the door and went to pack some belongings and change her clothes, an hour later she had packed everything she needed and changed into some suitable clothes for her journey.
A few minutes later she left her room and walked to the front door and then opened it, "the perfect weather to begin my journey!" Said Elena as she stepped outside and closed the door, moments later she walked through the streets of Athens and headed towards the olive tree orchard, after several minutes she had left Athens behind and walked through the orchard and headed northwest.
Her long wavy brown hair flowed in the wind and shimmered a little in the sunlight as she walked past the olive trees and towards the hills ahead of her. A short time later she had reached the hills and walked up them as the farmer's headed down towards the olive tree orchard, Elena greeted them and smiled as she passed by them, she walked a little faster as she was excited to see what awaited her on her journey.
After walking for nearly an hour she had reached a lake and stood beside it, she looked down at the water and watched some colourful fish swimming around. Elena saw her reflection in the clear water and smiled a little as the colourful fish swam away, "I wonder what I shall see on my journey" said Elena as she walked onwards around the lake as the sun shone bright in the morning sky.
