HONEY I'M HOME
Dionysus was excited to be traveling home for the new year to his wife. His soldiers needed the time to rest as well. After marching through much of Thrace taking whatever ground he could he felt there was no time better to return then for the new year. Lycurgus and his ilk could wait a week or two before he returned to Thrace. He just hoped nobody killed him before he could get his Thyrsus through the man's chest. He wouldn't stand for the man's constant attempts at his life. Even though Dio was a god and that would be futile it was still something that could not be ignored. None were to live long who strove with Gods.
The trip home had been long and at times harsh with the blistering heat of summer. Sure he could have just poofed home with his godly powers, but he would not leave his men alone in the wilderness. Morale was high when he himself was present amongst the camp and his soldiers. The fact that they were following a God meant assured victory in their eyes. Deaths and injuries were never in vain when the son of Zeus was alongside them. They cheered as the walls of Thebes came closer, the city gates were opened for them as they were greeted with cheering crowds. His people left formation and went to their respective homes and families as Dionysus continued to the Palace.
The palace walls flung open with servants rushing to grab his things. Bags of gifts for his esteemed subjects and of course his wife were taken away to be presented later when they were all together. Others came to offer him wine and grapes which he happily accepted. He made his way through the palace to the royal bedroom once belonging to his cousin Pentheus before Dionysus had removed him. He removed his armor putting on more comfortable clothing before he reclined on the couch wondering where his wife could be.
