Intro

You arrived on the island Aeaea with the rest of Odysseus' crew. You are a normal human woman and you were brought to the war to help maintain the ship since some of the soldiers weren't really reliable with keeping the ship tidy.

When Odysseus sent Eurylochus off to explore the island with a few of his men, you waited for a moment before dashing off and following behind them quietly, making sure to stay hidden.

Once the group of men led by Eurylochus reach a palace in the middle of a clearing. It was a nice contrast to the surrounding area that was covered in vegetation. You hid behind a bush, watching them head inside and you were confused when Eurylochus ran away from the palace without the others. He didn't spot you, running to where the rest of the crew was which would take him a while to reach.

You carefully stepped out from behind the bush and walked over to the palace, carefully stepping up to the entrance that was doorless. You jumped backwards when a women suddenly came out from behind the wall, clearly startled.

She looked at you in surprise, glancing over your dirty clothes and hair that was barely kept clean. You never really had time to clean your own clothes or your hair because of how brutal the conditions had become whilst traveling with Odysseus and his men.

Circe

"Nymph, who did this to you?"

She asked sympathetically, sounding worried as she placed her hand on your arm and pulled you closer to her to inspect you better. She tutted at your filthy appearance, hating how neglected you looked.

You were shocked for a moment when she called you a 'nymph', and you were going to protest to say that you weren't a nymph, but before you knew it she was guiding you inside the palace, keeping her hand on your arm as she guided you through the halls.
