Wow, I haven't updated in like, over 2 months! I feel bad… No excuse except school, and writer's block. But still, you can be mad. And thanks for the kind reviews!
"Wait, I hear something coming," Buffy stopped on the dirt road that she was walking on with Faith. She turned around and behind her in the distance she saw two men on horses, wearing toga like robes. "Ugh, their cloths are so out of era."
The two men started shouting at the sight of both slayers in the middle of the path in a different language that sounded ancient. Faith instantly picked up on what they were saying, bringing back memories and nightmares of her life before she met Buffy.
"That's because we're in Ancient Greece," Buffy gave Faith a look of confusion. "Remember Kakistos? Well, I used to have nightmares of when he lived here, and I picked up on the language."
"Oh," Buffy stares at the two men that were getting closer and it finally dawned on her, "Wait, we're in the past? And not even a hundred or a thousand, but like over two thousand! Shit!"
Faith nodded and continued to listen to the yelling men, "They think we're witches or something, the cloths we're wearin' are to strange."
"Witches, huh?" Buffy picked up a long stick that was on the side of the dirt path and broke it in half, throwing one half of it to Faith. "Let's show 'em then."
"I like the way ya think B."
Both slayers hit the nearing men simultaneously off the horses. Faith hit the one man in the head, instantly becoming unconscious, and possibly giving him a concussion, thus falling off the horse sideways and causing it to slow down to a halt. Buffy hit the other man in the stomach, sending him flying off from behind, and his horse continued to run at an even faster pace straight forward and never returning.
"Great, there goes my ride," Buffy whined.
"It's okay B, we still have this one," Faith started petting the horse that stayed behind. It was black except for its neck and head. "Come on; let's change before anyone else rides by."
Faith walked past the horse to the man that she knocked out and started stripping him. They seemed to be somewhat smaller in height and size, so the clothing seemed to fit around her tightly once she slipped into it. But that was okay with her. Buffy on the other hand was wearing oversized clothing, it was past her feet on the ground, and it was hanging off her shoulder almost revealing her breast.
"Faith, can we trade robes, uh togas… things?" Buffy complained holding it in the front up to cover her breast.
"Well, mine fits just fine. Here, let's just," Faith stopped mid-sentence and walked over to the pile of stuff that they found belonging to the two knocked out men and started searching for something. After a while Faith walked up to Buffy holding a long piece of robe, "Tie it close to your body so that way it won't fall."
Faith stood behind Buffy and wrapped her arms around the blonde in front of her, grabbing the robe in her other hand and started wrapping the piece of robe around Buffy from the stomach to just below the her breasts. She tied it tight in the back, causing the clothing to stay on the older slayer's shoulder and keeping it in place. She went back to where she laid her pants on top of the horse and pulled a knife out of a pocket, when she reached Buffy she bent down ripped the bottom where it flowed just below the knees.
"There you go," Faith smile, obviously proud of her own accomplishments.
"Um, thanks," Buffy examined her newly improved dress and frowned at how fat it made her lower body look. "Did the two men have any money?"
"Yeah, together they had enough to last a week. Which I'm hopin' we won' have ta stay here for that long," Faith grabbed a small pouch on the top of the pile of where she got the rope and waved it in the air to show Buffy. "Now come on, we'll use the horse to get to town a lot faster."
Faith climbed on top of the horse and pulled Buffy up behind her, "Why do I get stuck riding the back?"
"Have you ever ridden a horse before?" When no reply came from Buffy, Faith just smirked, "I thought so. Now hold on ta me, and enjoy the ride."
Buffy gripped onto Faith's waist and they were off in a swift.
About an hour later
"We finally made it to the town!" Exclaimed a joyful Buffy once they were in the Ancient Greek village.
People around the two slayers that were in earshot gave curious looks at them. Buffy jumped off the horse looking a little embarrassed. Faith got off the horse and flashed the people a smile and whispered to Buffy, "Smooth. A little advice, don't talk, you dunno the language."
"I'd rather have a vampire bite me."
Faith ignored the blonde's comment and had turned to an old man who was standing just a few feet away from them. Buffy was gonna ask Faith what she was doing when she suddenly broke out in the language she heard the two other men were shouting in.
The brunette turned back and faced Buffy again, "We're in Delphi."
"Delphi? As in the Oracle of Delphi?" Buffy asked disbelievingly, suddenly wishing that she had paid more attention in history class.
Faith nodded and pulled Buffy closer so she could whisper and no one would hear the unfamiliar language, "This is good, we can get help from the Oracle."
"You sure? We just got help where we ended up in the past that's so primitive!" The petite slayer violently whispered. "And besides, how are we so sure that the Oracle is for real?"
"How does anyone else know if vampires exist?"
"Since when did you get so seriously smart?"
"Since I wanted to get home… and I know a lot about this time," Faith said distantly.
Buffy stared at her sister slayer with more respect than before and climbed onto the horse, knowing that she can trust Faith, "So… you know how to get to the Oracle?"
Faith got on and slowly answered, "Sure."
"That isn't very convincing," when Faith didn't reply, Buffy let a big sigh, "It's like talking to a guy," suddenly the horse took off without warning, Faith totally in control and Buffy almost falling off.
"Next time I'll make sure ya fall off."
Half hour later.
"We made it. Heh, I actually found it."
"Yeah, can't say I didn't doubt you though," Buffy got off the horse and stared at the beautiful temple that looks so much better than the pictures of it in ruins.
Faith got off landing behind Buffy and tying the horse to a nearby tree and shoved Buffy, shoulder to shoulder, "Com'on, I'm dyin' for a smoke."
The oldest slayers walked up the stairs leading into the temple and found themselves staring at a couple of priestesses around a young girl. Faith stepped forward and started talking in Ancient Greek, Buffy just stood behind Faith and watched the conversation, paying attention to the actions.
Faith turned her head slightly and whispered to Buffy, "They gonna do the whole trance thing, we just gotta give 'em some of the money we got."
"How much?"
"I'd say about five of the silver coins?" Faith guessed as Buffy nodded and walked to the horse where the money was kept at. When Buffy returned with her hand clenched in a fist holding the coins she saw that there was smoke coming from the other side of the temple where all the priestesses were with the girl. But the young girl's eyes looked dilated, staring off into nothingness and she seemed to be talking to a priestess.
"What's going on?"
"It's what they do. Basically get the girl high an' Apollo, God of prophecy, possesses her body, which the priestesses then talk."
Buffy nodded as the priestess who was listening to the girl started her way to the sister slayers and started rambling in the ancient language to Faith. She nudged Buffy's arm that held the money, meaning to hand it over. Once they paid Faith turned around walking with a displeased face and without a word in Greek or English. Buffy followed Faith out waiting till they were out of earshot for Faith to say something.
"The Underworld! They fucking wan' us to go to the UNDERWORLD!" Faith shouted filled with rage.
"What the hell?" Buffy couldn't help but give a small smile at the irony, even through this chaos…
"No joke. I don't know how to get down there! Only people who got the guts aren't even people! They're gods and heroes!" Faith angrily punch a hole in the tree that the horse was tied to, causing him to freak out a bit.
Buffy started petting the horse, trying to calm him down and smartly replied, "And we're not?" Faith just gave her a 'duh' look. "Come on Faith, we're Slayers. We got strength men dreamed about. Speed healing doctor's wish to discover. We slay vampires on a daily basis, demons on a weekly basis, and save the world from ending at least twice a month."
"Yeah, but never went up against a giant three headed dog that doesn't allow, no way in hell, anythin' in or outta the Underworld. Or even gone ta face Death one-on-one, literally."
"Hey, I've died twice, I think we can face him," Buffy gave a determined face to Faith. "We just need to figure out how to get down there… Now, why do we have to go down there?"
"We have ta see Hecate, I think she's the Goddess of witches or somethin'. The Oracle says she can be found down there… and we have to get by Hades."
I so don't know how to speak Ancient Greek, only modern. And I don't really know how Greek money was used back then. I only know about Greek Mythology and I tried to make this as realistic as I could.
