LEGENDS OF ANCIENT GREECE

"What have you done?" Bellowed Zeus. His adughter, Athena Goddess of Widom, smiled:
"I've brought us back... I've brought back the days when WE ruled!"
"This is insane!"
**********************************
All of Ancient Greek times are back with a vengeance and you can be a Greek mythical character, EG Heracles, Odysseus, Achilles, and there is a huge war. The legendary Ancient Romans (old Roman mythical heroes etc) have fomred a Mythical Legion, joined with Ancient Roman soldiers, and are invading Greece! The war is here: you must be either a Greek or Roman hero in the huge battle set across Athens, the Amazons, Crete, Cyprus, Sparta and Marathon.
Knightfall= Heracles
MadMel= Achilles
Jottaro= Paris
QuincE= Odysseus
Feline= Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazon. We can start ASAP

Heracles slammed into the ground. where was he? He was alive... but tyhat couldn't be true? He had died, he remembered death's icy grip! But he looked arund and there he was, in the woods outside Athens, just as he remembered them. He straightened up, drawing his sword... something wasn;t right!

does this have permission? if so I will be Theseus

Yes, it does. and sure, theseus is free, as is Perseus people (hint hint)

Paris slowly awoke to find himself lying face down on a Sandy Beach...the same one on the Western shore of Greece he had remembered from so long ago...somehow he was back..he could sense that something was not right about his surroundings.

He slowly rose, and realized that all of his original battle-gear was brought back as well in perfect condition. His armor and Shield and the sword of Troy...he remembered his father's words.

"Take this son...this sword was passed on to me from my father and to him from his father before him and henceforth I hand it to you...guard and use it well my son, it is the symbol of our people."

Paris looked about for anyone else who might be there. He was hoping that he would find Helen again...

Theseous arose from teh ground not remmebring much of The Events that had taken place, He remembered the Minotaur, and his otehr adventures on The Road to Athens. He looked to See Poseidon, His fathers, sword on his back, along with The Club he had, he smiled he also looked to see The Horn of he Minotaur in his case as well that had baile dhim out he stood. "What has happenned?" asked Theseus looking around.

Hippolyta looked around "what.i'm alive.what has been done.his is no right,i'm dead"

The sun felt warm on his face. The weather was hot. He was lying on his back, his eyes closed softly. A soft breeze swept through the air and brushed his hair aside. He slowly opened his eyes. When he did so, he squinted from the brightness. He lay there for several minutes, quietly, and listening to the sounds of the world. He was confused of course. This wasn't right, he remembered his death as if it was only a moment ago. Perhaps it was...

He lifted his hands over his eyes. He studied the skin, the flesh. He felt it. It was all real. From the dirt under his fingernails, to the earth he lay upon. He sat up. He was in his toga. His sword and bow near his side. He was back in Ithaca - his home. He stood and looked to the west, to the future. He realized that something must be happening with the gods. He gathered his things, and headed towards his home. He would wait for further developments. Odysseus...was alive.

~wait I take it we cannot b gods?~

[I'l be Ajax..the strongest man in the Trojan War..If that's ok] 😛

Ajax slowly woke with a grunt. He was shocked to find out he was alive. He remembered his Father, King Salamis, dieing infront of him and him taking the thrown..He remembered his own death in a huge war that raged throughout Sparta. He picked up his spear and shield, looking around at the city he onced ruled, as did his father before him. He remembered his fathers last words before he died* Son..I want you to rule this city well..I want you to guard my throne with your life..*Then he had died sitting on the throne. Ajax looked around. His city hadn't been destroyed, it was renewed*

(I thought Hector and Achilles were the best.....)

Paris leaned down and took a hand full of sand and let it fall between his fingers. It was all real...everything this was no dream. He looked out at the crystal clear blue water that reached to the horizon where the glint of the sunlight blocks further view.

He turns picking up his shield and puts it over his back. He then begins to jog off to the east towards Athens, hopefully to find some refuge. He makes his way through the small wood line that lines the coast. He comes out to a dirt path and remembers it as the road he used to run as a child as he raced his friends.

He turned left and down towards Athens which the path curved towards in the North East.

(Anyone mind meeting up at Athens?)

*Ajax walked around Sparta for awhile and gave a small greeting to the citizens. He walked into the palace and saw King Salamis seated on the throne. He ran to him, but then noticed it was only his skeleton in a suit of armor. Ajax sighed and walked back outside to his quarters, which were once his fathers.*

achilles sat up...he strangly rembered dying, at the hands of paris. "damn heel" he said to himself, getting up and looking around. this definatly wasnt the underworld. there was a river nearby, but it wasnt the stix. achilles decided that since he was alive, he would head to athens, where maybe he could find an answers to his questions.

Paris stopped just outside the Main walls of Athens and looked about, seeing all of the people he remembered going to and fro, though he knew none of them.

He slowly approached the main gate and there were two guards standing on sentry duty. He slowly approached them and they seemed to be confused as to who he was.

Then one of them went wide eyed and said allowed, "Paris!" Paris of Troy had returned and now was in their former enemy territory, Greece. Ever since Troy had fallen, he had been training vigorously in the art of the sword for fear of failing Helen's heart yet again. He became very skilled and even more skilled with the Bow.

He remembered that he had taken the life of Achilles by accident of not knowing the love that the woman had for him....(Achille's lover). He felt downfallen still to this day for taking the love away from her...

Yet it seemed like fate had come back to get him, as he has yet to see Helen of Troy.

He looked to the guards as they both backed out of his way keeping their spears pointed towards him. Aparently they remembered him killing Achilles and feared him. Even now he is stronger than he was then.

He slowly walked through the gate and looked about at the magnificent courtyard filled with people who were coming and going through the markets. There was a strange silence among the city-people as they stopped and stared at Paris in disbelief. He looked at the magnificent Catacombs and various buildings that lined the streets.

Now there was total silence as he looked around at all the people who stood watching. Aparently they thought that Paris had come back to avenge the fall of Troy. He began to move forward and as he did so, people scrambled out of his way and watched with petrified looks as he moved, his silver Trojan armor gleams in the light from above. The golden handle of the sword of Troy is seen just over his right shoulder, and the rest of the sheath lies under his iron shield.

His father had fallen...his brother had fallen. Now he was the rightful heir to the throne of Troy. He would rebuild the kingdom and restore prosperity to his people yet again.

(Achilles killed hector in a challenge after Hector killed Patroclus, Achilles' relative cousin. Achilles then after killing hector, tied him to the back of a chariot and dragged his dead body before the eyes of the people of Troy.)

Heracles looked up, he was outside the gates of Athens, and then a vision flashed before his eyes... his father, Zeus!
"My son," Boomed zeus, "greece is in great peril. You must unite the kingsdoms and prepare for the last wr, the only hope for these lands against the Roman malice!" then Zrus vanished and Heracles rose. he knew what he had to do, and he saw where he could start...
He fcharged into the city and tripped, landing at the feet of a familiar man... had they met? Paris... prince of Troy!
"Rome... no!" he gasped and passed out.
(don't use Troy as a reference, it gets stuff wrong, EG Menalaus never died!)

Paris looked down at Heracles and kneeled down by him and said to him, "Good sir are you..." he suddenly stopped talking and realized who it was. "Heracles, you live also?"

He helps Heracles up and says, "What is happening here? Why have we been brought back?"

He looks about as more curious onlookers gather around the two men now.

(In order for Paris to hold power of some sort to unite against Rome, he would have to return to Troy yes?)

(yes)
Heracles slowly came round:
"The Romans are coming! Thousands upon killions of the scum! All of Greece must unite... that is th oly way we can prevent this crisis. I know Athens and troy have fought in the past but now we all must turn from our pride in an alliance against evil!"

Paris says to heracles in a downfallen voice, "It is of no use...even Troy is gone now...the city was destroyed and we all dispersed...there is nothing left of us..."

What was left of the Trojans were probably spread out throughout Athens and integrated after a while. Perhaps...with a little hope he could somehow rally them once again.
