Sparta part II
I started my test by doing the things that seemed logical, first I gathered wood to make a shelter, a fire, and weapons for hunting.
Everything so far was going successful until he came, a fellow Spartan, (and the worst kind, a spoiled one).
He walked to my camp and said " I'm Hegredy and I demand you give me your food."
Simply looking at him I could tell he was from a rich family but I still had to ask " What makes you so important that I should hungry for you?"
"Because I am the son of a noble and I have already eaten all of my ration, besides I'm more valuable than you." He said with a smug smile on his chubby face.
"Well than you are truly gluttonous one aren't you seeing as you just got here and besides cheater I don't have any to give because I haven't gone hunting yet."
"Hunting? How barbaric. That is a job for lesser men." Hegredy spited out
"Well guess that makes me a lesser man then, but at least this lesser man will be full tonight." I said with a cocky attitude
The spoiled cheater turned and run away with a gruff and I thought nothing of
it.
Little did I know, that brat wasn't going to give up that easy and for years he plagued me.
It didn't bother me that much, until the day before I would return to my love,
Helena.
She was what kept me going when I wanted to give up.
I was really excited to return because when a Spartan passes the test, he is allowed to select a mate.
All those years I dreamed of living in blissful life with the women I loved.
I soon started rehearsing what I would say to her when I heard "So you are the one that has Helena heart!"
I turned around to see it was Hegredy and replied "Why do you care?"
He shouted "Because I have loved for so long but she said her heart belonged to another!"
"And what you expect me to say sorry and let you have her for yourself?"
I said with a spiteful grin
"No, I expect you to die!" He yelled while pulling out a dagger.
Hegredy quickly lunged at me but in one move I take the blade and rammed into his chest. He soon fell to the ground while blood leaked from the wound.
I just left him there and began my journey home to see my love.
I soon returned to Sparta the next day and found Helena waiting for me at the city's gate.
We quickly ran towards each other and hugged when she said "Lysanader why is there blood on your hands?"
"Yesterday I did something I'm not proud of, but that is the past I want to think of the future."
"What do you mean my love?" questioned Helena
"I want to get married." I said
"I do too." said Helena with a big grin
Four days after the ceremony I was called away to fight Persians who were invading Greece.
Once again Helena and I meet at the gate, but this there wasn't a bit of joy of happiness in the air.
We soon Kissed for what turned out to be the last time.
WHAT HAPPEN TO LYSANDER OR HELENA , TUNE IN NEXT TIME TO FIND OUT.
