"Kloen you have committed grave deeds and you must now purge your soul through the completion of important tasks. You will be guided in your tasks by your mortal enemy - King Eurystheus. Thus the Oracle has spoken and thus shall be done."
The high priestess walked into a side chamber of the temple leaving Kloen alone. At some distance stood the chariot that had brought him at Delphi.
The chariot driver and Kloen's faithful old friend Damian came along. "Eurystheus? Are you sure you want to meet him. Guess we'll have to go Corinth if you really plan on visiting."
Kloen looked to Eurystheus's place and said, "Wow...Quite a large place, isn't it? Only fitting for a king, I suppose. So where am I to find him in such a large castle?"
Kloen turned to Damian and said, "This guy is our arch rival, alright? We need to infiltrate his palace as quietly as possible. For now, though, we should find a way to get there."
He jumped out and walked up to a man and said, "Excuse me, sir. Do you know the quickest way to get to Eurystheus' place?"
Kloen turned and observed the pathway. He took note of where it was and ran back to Damian in the chariot.
"Alright Damian. I've been told that the pathway just over there," he said as he pointed to the pathway, "leads to where we're headed. Do you wanna take this chariot with us, or should we just walk?"
The path, covered with cobblestones, led straight up towards the entrance of the magnificent building. People moved busily around, seemingly unaware of the two journeyers.
There just seem to be people EVERYWHERE!! Kloen thought as they came upon the castle. He turned to Damian and whispers, "What we'll do is enter the castle and ask to see the king, trying to get in as much of the castle as we can. And from there, we can figure out our infiltration route. Sound good?"
Forgetting to have thought of a reason, off the top of his head, Kloen said real quickly, "We bring a message from...uh, from lands afar. We would like to make an alliance, since we have some of the finest aerial warriors in the land."
The high priestess walked into a side chamber of the temple leaving Kloen alone. At some distance stood the chariot that had brought him at Delphi.
He got into the chariot, and then realized something. "Where was I supposed to go again?"
The journey was pleasant revealing majestic Greek countryside. After about a day's journey they caught sight of Eurystheus' palace.
Kloen looked to Eurystheus's place and said, "Wow...Quite a large place, isn't it? Only fitting for a king, I suppose. So where am I to find him in such a large castle?"
Damian turned round and answered, "We'll have to look out for the herald to announce our arrival."
He jumped out and walked up to a man and said, "Excuse me, sir. Do you know the quickest way to get to Eurystheus' place?"
"Alright Damian. I've been told that the pathway just over there," he said as he pointed to the pathway, "leads to where we're headed. Do you wanna take this chariot with us, or should we just walk?"
Hope they bite it, he thought uneasily.
The guard promptly returned and he said gruffly, "Follow me."
