Chapter Two: Ulysses’ Quest
It had been two days since Ulysses left Ithaca and on the day that he couldn’t be found, King Julian had all of the guards and soldiers looking everywhere for him.
“Julian you don’t think something has happen to him do you? Maybe he was kidnapped?” Marguerite asked her husband as she held onto his hand and he shook his head as he looked down at the map of Ithaca wondering where his son could be. It was the second day and they were still looking for Ulysses, but what they found the day before in his room suggested that he left on his own.
“He’ll be fine my love,” Julian said, though he wished in his heart that he could believe that.
“Excuse me my lord,” a voice said from the door and Julian turned around and looked at his head advisor, Lucius.
“Yes Lucius,” Julian said and he walked into Julian’s office closing the door behind him.
“I thought you may like to know that Virgil is gone also,” he said and Julian looked at him.
“I thought he had spent the night with some woman or just decided not to come home, that’s why I didn’t say anything yesterday, but I had this feeling so I went into his room this morning and some of his clothes are gone as well as some important things to him.” Lucius said and Julian let out a breath as he sat down heavily in his chair.
“Tell the guards to stop searching Ithaca,” Julian said and Lucius opened the door and relayed the message to the guard outside.
“But Julian why?” Marguerite asked in a pained voice and he let out a breath.
“Because they aren’t on Ithaca, they’ve run away, my son has run away,” he said then placed his elbows on the table and ran his fingers through his hair.
“It makes sense; he and Virgil are like brothers. Virgil would follow him any where and I’ve sensed the same restlessness in Virgil that you’ve sensed in Ulysses,” Lucius said and Julian let out a breath as he raised his head.
“I want the head of the guard and the head of the army in the war room at noon. Our sons will be found,” Julian said with determination and Lucius nodded.
