AAAH I'M SORRY!
Sorry for posting TWO days late! But you know you just have those days where your brain just turns off "*_*, Either way, enjoy this chapter! Now my story is going to look more like the Autobots vs the Decepticons on earth.
Though they are still in "Greece" and humans...
Inside the gates of the Arena (Boreas POV)
"This ends exactly how I envisioned." Menelaus smiles and raises his sword about to deliver the kill. "With your head beside my new trophy!" Orpheus has his head down in shame and looks at the ground, it feels like he isn't going to stop him. I give Aria the signal and she makes her horse kick the gate open and ride outside. Menelaus stop what he's doing and stares at Aria and me.
"No, Menelaus we may have lost today but tomorrow is a new day!" He looks up and sees that Samitos, Buk, and the other prisoners have escaped and helped Eileen take down her captives. He growls and in frustration and tries to kill Orpheus to lighten up his mood. But Orpheus takes hold of Menelaus' right hand and kicks him in his chest so he falls.
"Guards arrest them!", Yells Menelaus while getting up to his feet. Menelaus guards begin to make their way into the arena like a swarm of termites.
I ride toward Orpheus with two horses, he jumps up on one of them. Aria tugs the reins and we follow her and keep riding away from the city. The arena is in the middle of the city and we must get as far away from the capital. We get joined by Jencir, Rachal, my uncle, his wife, and Samitos with Buk and the other guards, as well as Eileen.
Aria is right about what she said. We may have lost and Menelaus is going to take over the empire, but as long as Orpheus and we are alive, we will never stop fighting until he is defeated. We keep riding to the mountains to see if we can build a base, where we shall help people and rebel again Menelaus.
Captain Mikolas is on Orpheus' right side and he has a good question. "Where are we going to build our base? We must build it so Menelaus and his men never can find it." Orpheus nods in agreement, he thinks he knows the right place.
We ride further to the mountains and Orpheus explains that there is a legend about a hollow mountain where it has been used for a rebellion before and if the legend is true it will be the perfect spot for a base of operations.
...
Many hours have gone by and I think we never will find that base. We have walked pressed against the mountain walls to find an entrance. But then we hear someone yelp out of shock and disappear. "You got to see this!" The man raises his head out of a small crack from the mountainside. Orpheus and Mikolas walk in first and we all are in awe.
The place is huge and is perfect for a camp beside the only way in is by a small crack in the mountain and the crack is covered by bushes, and trees.
I think we wound our base!
The Emperors Throne Room (Kyros POV)
It looks like my father already has gotten used to playing emperor. He fingers at the decorated armrest and is clearly deep in thoughts. I walk inside and cough to get his attention. "Yes?" He looks uninterested and annoyed with me as usual.
"Lord Menelaus...I know you have planned your 'masterplan' for quite some time", I hesitate but I must address this. "But why do you want to enslave some of the population? Isn't it enough to have servants, the people will turn again us!" He doesn't look convinced at all.
"I understand your concern Kyros but the people won't turn again me you see, I will use something every ruler has used to control their citizens. Fear." He begins to stand up and walk toward me. I back away. "Fear is a very effective method it has been used countless times in history and why stop now it's only natural.."
"But father", I plead. "You told me that you wanted to free the people from oppressors not become one! You are no better than those slavers who hurt you..." Menelaus growls and grabs my shirt.
"I may be your father but I'm also your leader and you will do as I say! Is that CLEAR!" I back away a few steps startled from my father's outburst. It isn't something that I'm not used to but I-...
I- don't know if I want this anymore. "Yes my lord.." I bow my head and walk away. He has never appreciated me, I think my mom and I was just a part of his plan for revenge. But he is and will forever be my father...
Megatron why you such a bad parent?! =(
