Rise Of The Trident

Chapter 13 - Bloodshed Begins

(The Greek world was in peace after Orien put an end to the invasion. But yet a threat comes inside from an external force, the Persians. The Greeks and the Persians were always on each other throats. Many know the tale about 300 Spartans and the mighty Persian king Xerxes. The Persians slaughtered them and everyone knows how the story ends. 'With Bloodshed'. And now the same threat is over Greece. The Olympians under Egan and the Spartans under Icarus have gathered together. There were just 500 Olympians and just 200 Spartans. 3000 Athenian soldiers gathered under their new king Adrian. The whole troop has gathered in front of Athens to face the upcoming Persians.)

Egan:

Do you have any idea of negotiation?

Icarus:

I don't.

Adrian:

We can face it, my lords.

Egan:

I know!

But I don't want innocent blood to get spilled.

Icarus:

How many are they?

Adrian:

Got no word!

But I sent some spies inside.

Egan:

Got any news from them?

Adrian:

No!

Icarus:

But you still have a spy among you!

Egan:

What do you mean?

Icarus:

Gaspar still counts on me.

I can hit him in the back.

Egan:

That is not the Spartan way.

Icarus:

Yeah, I know.

We have no choice.

Adrian:

Hey guys!

Ssh...

Egan:

What?

Adrain:

Listen...

(They hear an army approaching. The far dusty land in front of them started to reduce and a mighty army approached them.)

Adrian:

There must be thousands of them!

Icarus:

They might have thousands.

But we have a lot more!

We have something they don't have.

Hope!

Adrian:

How much time will it take for them to come here?

Egan:

Probably five minutes, I guess.

(Soon a wounded soldier approaches the kings. He falls down from his horse and the other soldiers carried him to Adrian.)

Adrian:

(Getting down from his horse)

What happened to you?

Wounded soldier:

Alexandria is being attacked!

Egan:

What?

Wounded soldier:

King Cicero sent me here(coughs...)

To call you for help!

Icarus:

It's a bad call, Egan.

This is not the time.

Egan:

Uncle Cicero is my family.

He needs me there now!

Icarus:

But we need you here!

Adrain:

What if it's a plot?

To divide us?

(Egan turned towards the wounded soldier)

Egan:

Who is attacking Alexandria?

Leo:

Persians!

(The Army was getting near...)

Egan:

LEO!

What are you doing here?

Leo:

I heard about Alexandria and I came for your help.

Adrian:

Egan, you go!

We'll handle this creeps!

Egan:

You need me!

Adrian:

But Alexandria needs you more than us.

Icarus:

The army is near!

Adrian:

You said to have each other's back.

Now its time for you to save Alexandria.

Get your a.s.s over there.

Egan:

My 500 soldiers will fight beside you.

I'll help Alexandria.

( The Persian army came too close, while Egan and Leo moved away.)

Adrian:

Hold!

(Both the armies collided.)

Adrian:

Charge!!

(The Moment came for the Greeks to face the Persian wrath once more. It became one of the most challenging war for the Greeks. the Persians showered their wrath over the Greeks. the Greek soldiers threw arrows and spears over Persians. Icarus enraged over and smashed the Persian skulls. Adrian became a challenge for the Persian army as he started to kill hundreds. Even though the Persians gave a tough battle the soldiers never let a Persian break their line. Suddenly an arrow flew near Adrian. At the very moment, a blade flew near him. He blocked it with his shield and saw a muscular gigantic Persian.)

Adrian:

Who the hell are you?

The Persian:

THE DESTROYER OF GREEKS!!

(and started to attack Adrian)

(Icarus jumped inside and accompanied Adrian)

Gaspar(The Persian):

Icarus!

I thought you were with me!

Icarus:

If that is what you thought, it's wrong.

I won't betray my motherland.

Gaspar:

Then die with it!

(Gaspar started to show his whole rage over to them both..)

(As the war took place Egan and Leo moved towards Olympia as fast as the wind. )

(On the way while riding.)

Leo:

My Lord!

Why don't we use the Trident to save all our asses?

Egan:

It is not the way to win a war.

Leo:

Thousands are dying!!

Egan:

I know!

This is a mortal war. We can't use godly powers until we have a need.

Leo:

Shit!

Egan:

I'm sorry for disappointing you.

This is the only way.

Leo:

So, what do we do?

Egan:

We take the Olympians to Alexandria.

Leo:

Then what if something bad happens in Olympia.

We need an army there too.

Egan:

I've given a word to Damen, the king of Pella.

Leo:

Can we trust them?

Egan:

I trust Damen, not Pellans!

Leo:

Will it be an end for us?

Egan:

Maybe,

Only if we let it happen.

PELLA

(A sacred city located in Central Macedonia. At present Pella is ruled by King Damen and his wife Elena. A small havoc was created in the Pellan society by a group of sacred people who violate the Greek sacred laws. So King Damen banned them but people kept visiting and followed their footsteps. The people were brainwashed and bad thoughts were preached by these priests. A building was erected by those priests and was named the House of salvation. )

THE ROYAL PALACE

(Elena speaking to King Damen regarding this fake priests)

Elena:

These f.u.c.k.i.n.g priests are corrupting our society.

We need to get rid of them.

Damen:

I understand your emotions, my love.

But look at what happens if we get the hate of our people.

Elena:

So, you're gonna let it happen?

Damen:

No!

We need to tear their masks in front of all.

We can't confront them face to face.

Elena:

So, How are you gonna stop them?

Damen:

Soon, you'll see.

(Darius, their son who was around 10 came near Elena and...)

Darius:

Mom!.Mom!!

I wanna play.

Elena:

Darius!

I and dad are in a serious conversation right now.

Darius:

I wanna play, Mom!

Damen:

Oh, my child!

Come here.

(Darius comes near Damen and sits on his l.a.p.)

Damen:

Look, Darius.

One day I won't be there to rule Pella.

It will be you someday.

Don't forget that.

Go and play!!

(Darius runs happily and goes out to play.)

Damen:

Stop being so harsh to the child.

Elena:

He never learns how Pella is now.

He must rule someday.

Damen:

He will.

When I visited Olympia for the funeral of King Orien, I spoke to Egan about our son.

He was wounded as he lost his father. King Aegeus died in Athens.

A New Generation is blooming in Greece and so does Pella.

Elena:

We need to stop Hafar before it's too late.

Damen:

He may lead those f.u.c.k.i.n.g priests, but he's nothing to me.

We'll tear his mask and hang him down in front of the people.

The time will come for us to stop them, don't worry.

(Suddenly a soldier knocks the door.)

(Damen opens.)

Soldier:

News from Olympia!

(Damen receives the scroll and reads and his face becomes widened.)

Elena:

What does it say?

Damen:

Greece is in crisis now.

Elena:

Persians have started to invade Greece.

Elena:

Too soon?

Damen:

Yeah!

(Damen ordered the soldier to go out)

(After the soldier went out)

Damen:

Gaspar asked us to betray Greece.

Egan asks to help me.

Elena:

If the Greek loses and if you helped them Gaspar will kill you.

Damen:

And if Persian loses and if the greeks found me on their side then I'll be doomed.

Elena:

So, what's your decision?

Damen:

Pella!

I've served her so well. And now it's time for me to save her.

I'm a greek and right now Greeks are dying.

I will fight alongside them. I will kill every Persian dog I see.

I will be with the Greeks in this crisis.

Elena:

If this is your decision, I respect it.

Go to Olympia and help Egan, while I'll find something about Hafar.
