I have a long Journey ahead of me. I decided that to ease the pain from my mind that I should go give Elpenor a proper burial. I spend one more night with Kirke and learn about the obstacles that i will face returning to Ithaca. She tells me of a monster who will eat the heads off of my men, of a seductive song that will be played, and a whirl pool that will pull ships into the sea. She tells me how to defeat these three obstacles with as little damage as I can get. I put bees' wax in the mens ears to make sure that they will not get seduced by the song that will be played. I went straight through the monster who eats the mens heads off. We got through will only six of our men getting eaten. That is a pretty good success. We then approached the island of Trinacia. I wanted to go right past the island but i was out ruled by my men. Usually all the crew agrees with what the captain wishes, but not in my case. My crew has over ruled me in many situations. Just our luck we got stuck there for a whole month. When we finally got to sea, the rough seas landed us to the island of Kylpso. The rest is history from there.
