The farewell

With Odysseus recovered and the need to centralize all intelligence in the war, Penelope's departure would be only a few hours after Eneas' departure. For the Argos, a whole group of good officers had been selected, many intelligence experts and a good group of pilots for the fast ships would serve as communication with the rest of the ships.

With the clock ticking away, Penelope got a permit for her last 48 hours, and the young people went back to the River Styx, it was better to forget everything for a moment.

In those hours, there was no war, there was no death, there was no fear, and there was no tension. A future did not matter, the past did not matter, and nothing beyond the reality between two young people mattered, of the second, of the instant, of the moment.
