    Verso let Gustave die on those cliffs, but he couldn't bring himself leave him there.

    This becomes even more evident to him as he watches the picto he contained Gustaves chroma in, dissolve into his skin.

    or

    Verso now has his own personal ghost- Gustave

    Summary

    Back when Verso still believed himself to be just another face in Lumière’s crowd, he was becoming quite impatient with waiting for his soulmate to appear so they could bring colours into each other’s lives. Then, Verso learnt the truth and knew that, in a world where no one was supposed to go through life alone, he was a fake made to exist without anyone to complete his soul.

    It’s more than half a century later when fate mocks him again.

    Summary

    He was given a name by the people in the establishment he was born in but it never felt right.
    He knew he was something more but everything felt wrong. Just... wrong.
    He could not explain it even if he wanted to.
    Who was he?
    What was he?
    Where was he?
    ... when...
    When?
    Why did he think of such a question?

    Summary

    “Odysseus.” Odysseus did not startle. He also did not greet Diomedes despite having known of his approach. “Odysseus?”

    Perhaps this was some sort of battle related trauma. Diomedes ended up sitting down besides Odysseus and let his shoulder bump against the sullen King. “Talk to me, friend.”

    “...About what?”

    “What’s going on? Polites is concerned, so are your men. Was it the blood? Or the men who fell? Rest assured, friend, none of yours fell today.”

    “Do you think King Sisyphus fights against his punishment? Do you think the Fates would allow him, if he did?”

    Flinching, Diomedes observed the change in Odysseus’ eyes. Instead of the colour of the sea, Odysseus’ eyes were taken over by a hue of red– only noticeable when observed in a certain angle but definitely present. Diomedes knew what caused a hue of red like that.

    Odysseus had been touched by Ares’ Rage.

    —---

    In which Odysseus is dropped back in time into the Trojan War and chooses to mess with everyone until it gets him killed or gets him back to Penelope. Others take notice.

    Or, Odysseus is soooo done.
