Kyria, one of Apollo's sacred wolves |
Apollo is checking in on the young Spartan warrior Coridan. After the death of his lover, Coridan wandered off to die. Apollo found him and commanded Coridan to serve him. Apollo set his wolves to guide Coridan to Delphi.
"How much farther do you think until we reach Tegea, Kyria?"
The wolf that the warrior named "Lady" grumbled a response.
"Not much for geography? You should have paid better attention to your tutors." The mortal chuckled. "Maybe I should have as well. Then I wouldn't have to ask you such things."

Some guides! I hope they know where they'r going.
ReplyDeleteHe's headed in the right direction. She's just a wolf and has no idea how to answer the question.
DeleteI'm sure the guides know the way, they're just being grumpy or fooling with him. They're being a little hard on the poor human though and I hope Apollo has something to say to them
ReplyDeleteThey've actually been following the hawk so far. She's a wolf that has taken a shine to Coridan, sort of adopted him.
DeleteI'm really curious to see what happens when they get there :)
ReplyDeleteIt's all part of the adventure.
DeleteInteresting :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I've cornered the market on unique with this one.
DeleteI like that he's keeping his sense of humor in all this.
ReplyDeleteCoridan is finally getting it back. It's been a few months since Lysander committed suicide.
DeleteHaha, I hope they don't lose their way.
ReplyDeleteCoridan has been to Tegea before, but never from the hinterlands.
DeleteI really like those last two lines
ReplyDeleteCoridan has always been the Spartan version of the class clown, but he was damaged and is just now regaining his humor.
DeleteGood thing he is regaining his humour, I like it. I hope he finds a new love as well.
ReplyDeleteProbably sooner than he thought he was ready for one.
Delete"Maybe I should have as well." I just loved this line. I'm not even sure why it struck me so strongly, but it definitely did.
