XIV: Epilogue

Under the cliff at the beach several tents stood that were lighted with torches. Several guards stood the watching the distance while others quietly ate around campfires. Two of the guars stood before the entrance of the camp blocked the way in. The hooded figure hauled up her dress and showed the face of the bull at the inside of her lower left leg. The men exchanged a look with each other before the stepped aside letting the woman pass through the gate. The woman trailed through the camp for a while before she found the tent she needed to be in and softly anounced her presence before entering.

"Look who we have there." Parsiphae sneered as he recognised the hooded woman and let her in. "Go ahead and explain yourself."

"I took the vial like you instructed..." The woman started. "In Helios I managed to call Icarus attention and managed to convince him to take it."

Parsiphae looked at the hooded figue. "So, you sold the vial to Icarus?" She said and the hooded figure nodded. "And what did you tell him?"

"I told him one drop at the time would be enough." The woman said.

"So you say that you sold the phial to Icarus with the instruction that only one drop would be enough?" Parsiphae repeated after the old lady.

"Yes my queen." The lady replied while she put the hood of the cloak back.

"You know that Pythagoras is the one with the brains? That if he would be dead Jason would be without one since Ariadne has no brains either."

"yes, but to see him suffer…"

"I do not want to see Pythagras suffer, only death. Jason is the one who supposed to be suffering." Parsiphae said getting angry.

"But he was almost death, my queen." The woman defended herself.

"Almost yes, so that still means that he still lives." Parsiphae said trying to control her temper. "Icarus has brains too, yet not enough to be useful. He should have drank the phial in one gulp." the elderly woman held out her hand with the two silver coins to offer them to her.

"This is what Icarus payed me for the phial. You can have it." Parsiphae glared at her before rudely pushing the hand away making the coins fly to the other side of the tent.

"Does it look like I would need two silver coins?" She spat.

"I only…."

"I heard more than enough." She said silencing her. "Medea, please take care of her." She said and waved with her hand before she sat down. "I should have done the job myself, than it would have been done correctly the first time." She said to Medea when she had returned after getting rid of the old lady.

"We will find something else to get rid off him, otherwise I will do it myself with my bare hands." She said with a smirk.
