Used To Lovers Truth But With Oedipus Rex Characters 😃

chapter 1

Oidipus looked at the bare scarred torso of tireisus some scars bigger than others he looked up wards staring at the older man's ribs poking through his skin “you don't eat much do you”
Tireisus chuckled at the youngers words gazing down at him with his milky white eyes “well i eat plenty my body just doesn't put on the weight why do you ask didn't think you’d care”

Oideipus backed up from the old man calculating what to say so tiresias wouldnt turn them back on him “well..i-”

Tiresias snorted “my my does the great king oedipus have nothing to say how wonderful” the man turned away closing his cloak whistling for his page
The young boy popped out of the bushes stepping towards and taking tiresis’ hand

“Why don't you just live in thebes it'd be easier for you” oedipus looked at the young boy holding tiresias’ hand

Tiresias shook his head “no i don't like villages i wouldn't want to live in the same place as you anyways” he tapped his cane on the pages ankle making the boy jump and move slowly pulling tiresias along

Oidipus glared at the mans back his temper slightly flaring up at the snarky remark “you little..” he stopped himself and turned walking back to thebes wondering why he even went to meet the man he always hated him ever since that moment he came to the castle to figure out the kings murderer which he's still trying to figure out the old man's riddle didn't help the investigation

Once oidipus got home his wife walked up to him placing a light kiss on his cheek her hand on his chest "how was the meeting with the seer did you find anything out this time"

Odipus looked away from her still sour about the man's words "no." He spat out

She sighed, shaking her head "this plague will never end.." she whispered worriedly

Odipus placed his hand on her shoulder giving it a comforting squeeze "I'll figure it out I promise"

She turned around a small smile on her face "I know you will" she put her hand on top of his giving it a small squeeze before walking away going elsewhere

Once she was gone oedipus sighed deeply holding his forehead he started to doubt he'd ever figure out who murdered the past king but his determination broke through his doubt he was gonna figure it out no matter what he needed to no had to

(The play Oedipus Rex doesn't belong to me obviously 🙄-)
