Our hero Odysseus awakens dazed and confused not having a clue to where he is. The last thing that he remembers is that he was in mexico fighting mountain lions and trying to cross the border of mexico trying to reach california in a truck that had 7 kilos of cocaine concealed inside. The first thing that crosses lionhearted Odysseus mind is where am this sure doesnt look like California. As if to answer his questions a voice, that sounded as clear as a church bell ringing through out the day,in his head telling him to be patient and everything will soon be revealed to you.

Odysseus never was much of a godly man but he did believe that there where higher powers then mortals such as immortals better known as Gods and Godesses. He decides its best to take some time to pray to whom ever it may be guiding him along his mission before he does anything else so that they may continue to be in his favor. Odysseus prays to them telling them that he is greatful for them getting him this far in one piece and for guiding him through his mission. Being the smart soldier as odysseus was, after he finished his prayers he immediately started searching for some of his belongs but could not find anything. After some time of searching he finally gave up, and as if he could address the Gods directly he yells out "why have you taken all of my belongings and left me with nothing to fend for myself," and as if to answer his question just like before a thunderous voice booming in his had tells him" if not for us you may not have succeeded this far, if not for us you may not make it to where ever it is your path takes you so be patient and everything will soon be revealed to you." Odysseus who is usually defiant until the end ask this voice to tell him his name and in return the god replys "Phermilicoles."

Now Odysseus's main concern is to find out where he is and why he is here. As he looks around he doesn't recognize the the area. Odysseus comes across a gigantic sign laying across a red pick up truck that read" Welcome To California." At first he was confused because when he looked around he could not recognize this place to be California because what he saw looked like the a place that had just been plowed by military tanks and rained on by bombs and missiles. What he could see was chaos, destruction and a complete total mess. By the time Odysseus was completely done checking the general area it was starting to get dark so he searched around for a building that looked stable enough for he to set up camp and rest for the night. As one who has not slept in ages would finally get to lay down in there own bed at night to get a full hours of sleep and wake up in the morning fully energized ready to go even so did Odysseus when he woke up to the blazing hot shining through a broken window in the broken down warehouse that he found shelter in. As Odysseus starts to get up and stretch out his arms and legs he notices that rumble is falling from the ceiling and quick-thinking Odysseus ran for the opening door leading out to the hot stuffy morning air. Just as he passes the door the ceiling starts to fall in and crashes to the floor leaving Odysseus star struck at what just happened. Still alittle shooken up from his almost tragic accident Odyssues decides that the next time he decides to camp in an abandon warehouse that he is going to inspect the place because it will be unfortunate for him to get hurt when he has got this far.

Not knowing were to go Odysseus decides to just follow the main road intel he can reach the next part of his journey which would take him all the way to washington state. Further down the road while searching a military humvee Odysseus come across a back pack that seems to have been dropped by a soldier maybe in a rush to get out of there. Being as curious as Odysseus was he picks up the bag and decides to check it for items that may prove useful to him. As he aprproaches the bag he notices a note laying on top, he decides to read the note and it read "Dont take this gear for granted it may come in handy." Being greatful that someone has left a bag behind for someone else like himself Odysseus checks inside to see what it contains. There were three item, the first item he pull out was a container of water that was fresh and drinkable, the second item he managed to find was a small sized stack that contained some food that was still eatable and the last item he pulled out was knife still sheathed which Odysseus would later find out to be very useful. Over joyed, as a child wakes up christmas morning earlier then anyone else in the house so he may be the first down stairs to see what presents Santa Claus brought him, and so he may play with his newly accuired toys until his little heart is content even so did Odysseus immediately start to enjoy his finding as he drank some water and ate some food content that his stomach was now no longer scream and begging for him to feed it from having not eating in such a long time, Odysseus finished his meal and slung the backpack over his shoulder and continued on his way. **

Now Odysseus was no fool, but little did absent minded Odysseus know he was heading straight towards a military camp that didnt contain "friendlies," as a soldier would call it, but contained many enemy "hostilies" who are there to intervine Odysseusand prevent him from getting to washington state. Walking along the main road Odysseus spots the camp but quick-thinking Odysseus decides to play it safe and hide behind the buildings. As he watching form behind a building where he could not be spotted by any of the soldiers he quickly comes up with a plan to invade the enemy camp, find out what they are doing, take out as many of them as he could and then get out of there. Odysseus was no coward nor a fool so instead of running straight into the camp, he decided to wait intel dark so he can use night to his advantage. As he sats up camp Odysseus once again decides to pray to those who are providing him with all of his luck and good fortune. When the sun went down and he was almost blinded by the darkeness, he knew it was time to go forth with his plan because they too would be blinded by the dark. leaving his pack behind, all Odysseus brought with him was the knife that he had found in the humvee. Approaching the camp Odysseus could already could spot 5 soldiers and he has yet to seen the inside of there tent. Being as quiet as a mouse and as fast and agile as a cat he sneaks right into the camp. Odysseus hides in a spot next to the soldiers tent where he was close enough to hear the soldiers talking, but he could not he could not understand them because they were speaking a language he did not know. Since his plans have now changed he decided to take out as many soldiers as he can before proceeding to Washington State. The first two soldiers walk past odysseus where he then springs up rams one of them into a wall, and knifes the other one. One of the soldiers ventured from the others to look for his two missing comrades, but unfortunately for him he walks right next to the strong-armed odysseus who sneaks behind him and breaks his neck. The remaing soldiers were getting nervous the the retreated into the tent to get the rest of there fellow comrades and go searching for there missing partners. Being as Odysseus was not prepared and well enough equiped to take on any more soldiers he decided it was best to leave and prepare for his next journey.

Leaving the camp odysseus felt overjoyed that he would continue to live another day. Sitting down at the nearest rest stop he could find he finishes the last of the food and water he had left, and as his happyness faded because of how long he knew it would take him to get to washington state, and not evening knowing how he would get there without transportation the thunderous voice in his head tells him " Do not worry Odysseus for we our in your favor tonight, we shall take care of you and make sure you make it to where you intend to go, so sleep now LionHearted Odysseus and you shall wake up delighted to find yourself were u wish to be. WIth those finally words ringing in his head. odysseus rested himself against the nearest sturdy looking wall and fall into a deep peaceful sleep.
