How old are you

Fifteen

You are young

I am a man

In Sparta

No

In the army


How many

How many what

Have you killed

I don't know

Very many

Yes

Who

I don't remember names

Why

Why should I


Your sword

It's mine

It's not made of Celestial Bronze

Titanium

Suiting

Dipped in the Styx

You

No

The sword


Your army

What about them

They think you're dead

What are you getting at

You're not immortal

I am deified

Forever

In their memory


Roses

A lot of them

Red white orange yellow

Black

The gods

They're such a cliché

Titans would've been better


Reluctance

Struggle

Raw wrists

Being kicked

The god of war

Bringing him to

The throne room


Stagger

Fall

Hear them laughing

Let them laugh

He'll have the last laugh

When they're all gone

And he'll be a Titan


Why are you laughing

At your stupidity

What

You heard

I think you're stupid

Krios was right

About what

You are too bold

You are too naïve

You are too foolish


Perhaps

The same questions

Been asked many times

Always the same answer

Perhaps


Maybe he is bold

Never wears armour in battle

Maybe he is naïve

Believes there are only two sides

Maybe he is foolish

Is alive


We don't want to fight you

Looks like you'll have to

Silence yourself

Not going to happen

Let me fight Ares

He's just a big baby

No match for me


Trick

It was a trick

Ares- the hot head

Fell for it

Battle at noon

He'd never show up

He broke the gate

He was free


He was supposed to fall

He was supposed to die

He was supposed to break

But he didn't

Son of Lelantos

He could fly

Spread his wings

Flight to freedom


Control

They listened to him

He was their lieutenant

Their commander

Their fearless leader

Broken out of Olympus' prison

Hero


Who wouldn't be

Who wouldn't want to be

A hero

Me

Why

I'm just the lieutenant

You are our leader

I am no hero

Why do you say that

I killed people

Are you guilty

No

Then why

I am no hero


Hero

Strong word

Powerful word

Blank emotion

Respect

No friends

All enemies

He has made many enemies

No friends

A hero doesn't have friends

Just enemies


Does that make him a hero


Imagine he is on your side

He leads you through a war

He was there from the beginning

He is the lieutenant

He is captured by the enemy

He escapes using his wits

Is he a hero


Shut up

Lieutenant

Shut up

Sir

No

We need a leader

I am not your leader

YES YOU ARE


You are

You led us through the last war

You were there from the beginning on

You are the lieutenant

You were captured by the enemy

You escaped

You are our hero


What if I say no

No isn't an option

I don't take orders from you

From whom


Krios

Krios is gone

So

That makes you the leader

No

I am no Titan

You are close to one

I am not invulnerable

That can be changed

I am not immortal

In our minds you are

I am not your leader


What do you think?
