I hope that you enjoy the story! To make things easy for you I'm going to tell the names of the characters in this story.

Bumblebee is= Boreas. Smokescreen is= Samitos. Bulkhead is= Buk. Ultra Magns is= Mikolas. Wheeljack is= Jencir. Optimus is= Orpheus. Elita is= Eileen. Arcee is= Aria. Cliffjumper is= Calchas. (A lot of names xD)

This story is a mix between antic Greece and antic Rome. It's important for the story, so do your best to try to imagine that.

Hi, my name is Boreas. I'm a royal guard. But don't get fooled by the title I'm nobody. I only speak when spoken to and I am following the rules as a guard must do. I live in Greece with my uncel and his wife. My parents is eather dead or they abandoned me when I was young.

Anyway, my job is not that bad, sure it can get boring sometimes just to stand there. But I hear a lot of gossips that I often share with my friends. But if it is something serious it's not escaping my lips.

My friends' names are Buk and Samitos. Buk is a strong, big, and very goodhearted man but he is very clumsy. And because of his clumsiness, he has not received a promotion. Samitos where to begin? He is loud and has a hard time taking orders. Samitos is a troublemaker and will often flirt with girls. But we're like brothers and even if we annoy each other nobody can break our bond.

I and my friends are guarding the palace. All the important people in Greece live there. And when I say important I mean mostly spoiled and sensitive people. They are like: Why did you come so late? I want vine, where is my vine? Do this and that and do it quickly! I can name a few people in the palace that I know of. Believe it or not, most of them are not that spoiled.

First, we have Rachal, the palace doctor. He is the most educated doctor in Greece and no one can outmatch his knowledge. But I warn you, you don't want to get on his nerves. I see him in the palace garden quite often, he always looks grumpy and is often mumbling something to himself.

Then we have the captain of the guards he is the strictest of the strict. His name is Mikolas and he often says that we must follow the protocol and that we always have to call him commander or sir. A lot of people don't like him that much, but that's ok because he doesn't like us much either. Especially not Samitos and Jencir the palace inventor. Mikolas thinks Jencir is crazy and a danger for the people. At least one day every week something in his lab is blowing up.

Jencir is Buk's best friend and there always wrestling with each other when they have free time.

It would be a crime to forget the emperor Orpheus and his wife Eileen. I don't know much about them. But what I do know is that they are the best rulers this empire could ever have. And that they love each other dearly. I had some luck and got to see them a few times, here and there.

And last but not least Aria, the most beautiful girl in Greece. She is not a member of the royal family, she is actually the daughter of Mikolas. That's right my boss's daughter. Sight. I don't think she remembers me and I'm sure she doesn't want to. It's not that she hates me. It's just because of a tragic past she had with my former best friend Calchas.

It was a year ago and it was before Samitos came to Greece and before Calchas died. I don't know all the details but what I do know is that a guard can't meet a girl with high status without permission from the family. They were going to run away together but they were caught. The punishment of meeting Aria was lashes, not death, but Calchas was also trying to run away with her. The High Council named the crime kidnapping and the punishment was death.

I hope that you liked the story. Please tell me what you think. And don't worry Con' fans the Deceptions is also going to show up.
