Bab 27: Afterlude: Theseus’s true face

We have sailed for a couple of days, and we've decided that we're not going to Athens yet, and we wanted to land at an island, so we've found an island nearest to us, the island of Naxos.

We docked at the beach in the middle of the night, and we carried our stuff out of the boat.

"You sure you don't want to go to Athens?" Theseus nervously questioned. "They'd look at you as heroes there."

"We'll pass," Gil shrugged it away. "We have a job to do, so you'll go be a hero in your city or something."

"O-Okay…" Theseus murmured.

"Everyone's asleep right?" I questioned as I jumped from the boat.

"Yes, let me help you load off your stuff, in fact, just let me do it alone…" said Theseus hurriedly.

Gil raised his eyebrow. "Okay…"

"Yes… you all find some shelter while I drop off your stuff…"

"No, I think I'd rather stay looking out for our stuff." I said, making Theseus gulp.

"R-Right…" Gil hummed. "Then the rest of us we'll find some shelter."

Gil, Kingo, and Ikaris then walk to the island to find some place to stay, while I watch Theseus as he carefully unloads our stuff from the boat.

"What are you planning, boy?" I asked. "You look suspicious…"

Theseus gulp even more. "I-"

"No excuses please, straight to the point."

Theseus nodded weakly. "I- I want to leave Ariadne here…"

Ah, of course he wants to. "So you didn't 'love' her after all."

"Of course I didn't, I only met her for one day, I only did what I did so I could have some sort of leverage against the king…" Theseus murmured. "But now she's stuck with me, I don't know what to do with her."

"So you're just going to abandon her here?"

"I- Do I have a choice? My father would be furious if I took on a Cretan bride…"

I sighed. "What are you going to say to her?"

"Nothing…" he murmured. "I'll just place her on the beach, then sail away…"

"At the end of the day, you are a coward." I shook my head in disappointment. I then conjured my bident, scaring the boy. "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now? If I let you go to Athens, you'll become king, and what good would a cowardly king do to Athens?"

"P-Please don't kill me! I- I promise I'll bring Athens to glory! You have my word!"

"And why should I trust you?"

"I-If I fail to bring Athens to glory, you can kill me then! But please, not now! I- I'm still young and-"

"Yes yes, you're still young and have a lot of time to fool around… I will let you go if you bring Ariadne with you."

"P-Please! Anything but that!"

"Why?"

"My father would-"

"Hate you?" I raised my eyebrow. "I'm willing to bet that he'll praise you that you kidnap a Cretan princess."

"W-What? Really?"

"Of course. Cunning is a good ability to have as a king." I shrug. "So, bring Ariadne with you to Athens, and I will spare your life here."

"O-Okay! I'll bring her! I'll marry her!"

"Good." I nodded. "Don't just pump and dump, you need to take responsibility for it."

"O-Okay…"

I sighed, I felt like an old man preaching about responsibility…

"Go then, remember the law of surprise boy."

"Y-Yes…"

The boy quickly climbed up to the boat again, with the sleeping Ariadne, and I helped him push the boat towards the sea again, and finally, the troublesome boy left.

After that, Gil and the others came back. "They already left?"

"Yup."

Gil shrugged. "Oh well."

A/N: by the way, I know this is random, but you guys know about any GOT/ASOIAF fanfic that has an OC Martell(or any Dornish house, like Yronwood) MC? It's getting kind of boring now reading all the starks/northern or robert's child oc fanfics... i want some Dornish culture man, I feel like a lot of fanfics did Dorne dirty to be honest, they are literally the only kingdom that never bent the knee to Aegon, they instead join the seven kingdoms through marriage, and a lot of fanfic just view them as people that love sex too much...


Bab 28: Chapter 26: An Exiled Man, 1218 BCE

[1218 BCE, Corinth]

Tyndareus is a spartan king, or at least, was. His brother, Hippocoon usurped his throne and kicked him out of the region, making him an exiled man. He is now walking on the road to Corinthos with his small group of bodyguards, his wife Leda, and his two twin children, Castor and Pollux.

He had been bitter as of lately, he often lash out at his family because of his mental weakness. His own brother overthrew him, taking his birthright, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Not to mention, his wife was pregnant that was not his child, he was outrage by it, but he soon calm down when his wife told him that it was 'Zeus's child', he had no way of knowing if it is really Zeus's child, or she's just lying through her teeth.

For now, he'll keep a close eye on his wife.

"Father, Mother is tired, we should find some place to rest for a bit." said one of the twins.

"Hm? Very well." said Tyndareus. "There's a cave nearby, let's rest there."

They then changed their direction, and went off road. When he was near the cave that he was trying to get to, he saw three foreign men sitting casually below a tree. One has a big body, one has brown skin, and one looks cold.

He saw no reason to not sit down with them instead, so he, along with his men, approached them.

"Greetings travelers." he greeted the three foreign men. The big one just grunted, the cold man nodded, while the brown-skinned man smiled at him.

"Hello," said the brown-skinned man.

"May we sit with you?" questioned Tyndareus. "My wife is pregnant, so we need to rest often."

"Oh, sure, sure, come, sit down." said the brown-skinned man.

So they settled there for a little, they didn't unload their things, just a quick rest.

"What brings you to here travelers? You don't look like you're from Greece." questioned Tyndareus.

"Oh, we're hunters." answered the brown-skinned man. "We wanted to see different animals of the world, so we traveled."

"An interesting cause." Tyndareus nodded.

"What about you and your men? Migrating to another city?" questioned the man.

Tyndareus just smiled. "I have no choice unfortunately, me and my family have been exiled from our homeland."

"Oh, my condolences." said the man. "Why are you exiled if I may ask?"

"I… was overthrown." said Tyndareus, not knowing if it would be a good idea to tell the men about his story, but he needs someone to talk to right now. "You see, I was supposed to be king… until my brother usurped me."

"King?" Finally, the big man talked, making Tyndareus nervous. "King of what? The slums?" the man scoffed.

"King of Sparta." said Tyndareus, a bit offended by the big man's words. "I had hoped that if I go to Corinth, the king there would support me in getting me back my throne."

"Well, good luck with that." the big man said nonchalantly.

"I just wish there was some miracle, some gods will help me take back my birthright, I would pray to that god all my life and become devout." Tyndareus sighed.

The three men looked at one another, but only shrugged. Then, thunder began to boom in the sky, and rainwater began to drop.

"Damn rain!" cursed Tyndareus. "Pardon me travelers, but we should find shelter from the rain."

"You go first," said the brown-skinned man calmly. "We'll be here for a little while."

"Pardon me? But it's raining?" questioned Tyndareus.

"It's fine stranger, you go on." insisted the big man.

"Very well." sighed Tyndareus. "It was nice talking to you travelers."

"It was nice to talk to you too, stranger."

Tyndareus and his family then rushed to the cave that Tyndareus was talking about, leaving the three foreign men alone.

They ran to a rather empty place, where they saw a cave, but there was something fishy there, Tyndareus could sense it.

So he stood in the rain along with his family, and he looked to the guards.

"Guards, check the cave, I have a bad feeling about that cave." commanded Tyndareus.

The guards hurriedly went towards the cave in the middle of the rain, but before they could enter the cave, a giant snake suddenly was thrown out of the cave, startling them and Tyndareus's family alike. The throwing was so hard, that it had made a loud boom, and the rain around them was temporarily gone.

"By the gods! What is that!?" screamed Tyndareus. He hurriedly grabbed a sword and prepared to protect his family at all cost.

The dust slowly settled and Tyndareus saw the snake's body. Its head looked like a human, a woman to be specific, its bare breast was dangling from its 'chest area', but there were no legs, instead, it was a snake's body, which freaked Tyndareus.

"It's a Lamia!" screamed one of the guards who quickly formed a phalanx formation to protect the family, standing above the muddy terrain..

"I'll kill you Eternal!" shrieked the Lamia, slithering to the cave once again, ignoring the stunned humans and its dirty body.

But before it could enter the place, a huge golden statue suddenly slammed to the Lamia, pinning the monster down. The golden statue looked transparent, but Tyndareus could tell that the head looked like a bull.

"MEPHIA WILL JOIN ASTERION!" roared the statue, who made the humans more stunned and scared. Tyndareus can feel his bladder almost explode when he hears the statue's scream.

"Get off of me traitor!" screamed the Lamia desperately. Tyndareus then saw a man, wearing all black, get out of the cave with a bident in his hand. His aura was terrifying, when he saw him, he felt the urge to kneel in front of him.

"You're not supposed to exist Mephia," said the man in black. "I hope you understand."

"I will kill myself before joining the likes of you!" screeched the Lamia, but it was no use, the man in black had dug his bident straight down the Lamia's throat, making the monster choked in its own blood.

The man then stretched its hand, and slowly but surely, the monster withered, as if its own lifeforce was consumed by the man.

"Seduction? You have a horrible power, Mephia." said the man in black, talking to himself apparently, not caring about the rain whatsoever.

"Well, you're in my head now, so you best behave." continued the man in black, again, talking to himself.

"Who are you?!" the guards suddenly shouted, seemingly frightened, but they stood their ground.

The man in black looked at the guards and Tyndareus's family, he had a confused face. But then, suddenly Tyndareus rushed towards the man, making the guards panic, trying to stop him.

But it was no use, the man in black was preparing to defend himself, but much to his surprise, Tyndareus didn't attack him, instead, he knelt in front of him.

"O' Immortal One! Help me take back my kingdom!"

The man in black was confused at the scene, he looked around and saw the stunned faces of the humans that were standing in front of him.

"What?"
