After we left home later in the night, Before long, we arrived at the shore where we thanked Poseidon for our safe passage, and walked to meet the men of Pylos. A golden cup of wine was handed around to us and Athena herself prayed to the Gods for safety. Once prayers were over, we were lead to our seats at the high table, and our hosts asked us where we were from and the usual conversation starters. We started to talk about the Trojan wars; what started them and the pain and death suffered by all those in it. I told him about the suitors taking over my school, and Lord Nestor replied with disgust about how that shouldn't be happening to the son of Odysseus. Then Nestor started to talk more about the war and Agamemnon's death, and espescially how much he loved my father. We offered one more offering to the gods, then Lord Nestor invited me to sleep in the palace. I thanked him, for he was a nice guy, and took up his invitation. Athena, on the other hand, decided to sleep with the crew, on the boat, and as she left, she left the air of a God where she stood. Nestor congratulated me on getting the help of the Gods, and ordered a cow with gold-gilded horns to be sacrificed to the Gods in the morning. The next morning, when we first woke up at dawn, a cow was ordered for, and his horns were gilded with gold. He was then held by some of the strongest men and killed. At the sacrificial feast, a chariot with the finest throughbloods was called for me and one of Nestor's sons was to come with me on my journey through the land. In the morning we left, the throughbred's hearts racing and manes billowing in the wind.
