A Way Home

Me and my men sailed away from that strange island and we all thought there would be a great storm as the cyclopes father was posiedon god of the sea. But to our elief there was not a single breeze this ment my men had to row harder and put alot more effort in to it. Until we saw in the distance a large floating city with walls of bronze and gates of silver we sailed up to them and the guards shouted down that we could eat and drink and come in for exchange of telling our tales to the King. We said of course because we were starving! For 7 days and nights we told tales of our travels and every night a huge feast was set out in front of us. We were ready to leave but the King led me up to his room while my men were sorting the ship out ready to set sail. He pionted at an alcove and pulled the curtain back I saw a sack tied with silk string and I said to him what is it and he replied Zeus is my friend and he is in the middle of a feud with his brother posiedon Zeus has stolen the winds of the world of him and put them in this sack and has given them to me for safe keeping but I give them to you now my friend one snake out of this sack will sail you right back to your rocky Ithica. He gave me the whole sack bu he had already released the one snake to get us home. I thanked him and left.  I got back to my ship and said to my men in this sack is the greatest gift I have ever been given, and we set sail for home. For 9 days and nights we sailed not having to row or steer I stayed awake to make sure the sack was ok and I never let anyone touch it. At last I saw her rocky Ithica in all her glory I told my men to wake me up when I could jump of the ship and plant my feet on the ground. I fell fast asleep and that was the worst mistake I made. Posiedon saw I was asleep and made a flick with his hand  and a huge wave made our ship climb. As it did so the sack slide from my side and fell into the lap of one of my men he decided that they always share the treasure evenly so he thought there was no harm in seeing the share he was going to get. He opened it and all the snakes of wind whirled into the sky and waves hit us from all directions. This woke me up. Itaica was within reaching distance but within seconds it was gone and the wind directions threw us around like we were a ball to play catch with. We then saw the strange floating Island again and we fought our way to the bronze gates and we were in away from the storm. I went up to see the King he was in the middle of a feast and when I told him what had happened he through us out of the city saying that they were relient of the sea god to keep them alive so he made us leave the city with immdiate effect. How rude is he? The sea God wanted us dead we could see it in the sky and the sea. How would we ever see rocky Ithica again more importantly would we ever see rocky Ithica again?!!!
