Hey everyone! I'm taking a shot at a Soul Eater fanfic, I hope I do good? In my World History Class- I think 2 weeks ago- we learned about the Spartans and the Battle of Thermopylae. I imagined the Soul Eater cast as Spartans and this came up. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the story. Let the chapter BEGIN!
After this disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything having to do with Soul Eater. Though I wish I did.
Chapter 1
Pheidippides was running. His legs felt like they were on fire, lungs were burning, he could barely breathe. No! I have to keep running! They have to know! Despite his burning legs and quickly beating heart, he kept running. Almost there. Up ahead he could see City Hall. He sprinted into the building and burst through the door where the council has gathered.
With the last of his energy he yelled "Nike!*" Not a second after, he collapsed. He died before he hit the ground.
The council stood shocked. Once they registered what he said they immediately broke out into cheers. They won! They actually won! They expected for them to lose, I mean it was 10,000 Greeks against 25,000 Persians! It was the greatest win in Greek history.
One Senate*, though, wasn't celebrating. He was worried; they may have one this battle, but the Persians will want revenge and he doesn't think they will survive the next war.
"Everyone! Listen!" the senate yelled. Everyone stopped partying and gave their attention to him. "This is not the time to celebrate! We may have one this battle, but we have not won the war! The Persians will want revenge, and we will not have a chance at winning if we so this alone!"
"Then what do you suggest we do!" someone asked.
"We need help! I think we should ask for help from an ally!"
"Who!"
"I think we should ask the Spartans."
"The Spartans! Why them! They're a bunch of lunatics!" Another senate asked.
"But they have strong warriors! They can help!"
"But how do we know that they will help?"
"They never back down from a fight!"
"I agree with him! Send a messenger to Leonidas**!" A different senate stated. "Tell him that Athens needs help and we request that the Spartans fight with us."
That's the end of the first chapter! Did you like it? This chapter takes place after the battle of Marathon. If you don't know what that is then look it up!
*Nike means Victory in Greek, according to my dad. That's were we get the name for the shoe brand.
*Leonidas was the Spartan king.
If you've watched 300 or learned about the battle of Thermopylae then you know how this ends. So please R&R!
