“They’re dead, everyone’s dead, the newborn, he’s killed them all, even his parents.” A male Dragonoid panted as he screamed down the halls of the palace.

“So, what’s the problem here, die now or forever hold your peace, I’ve got no time for games.” The King, Xerxes the first, snarled as he lay in bed with his wife Amestris. “You have some nerve entering my bed chambers. Kill yourself for your impudence.”

“But my lord, the infant has made his way here inside the palace, Darius, your firstborn, is facing them off now with Amytis, your first daughter.

Xerxes growled as streams of fire burst through the room, his bed was in flames. His wife paid no mind. She was used to his spouts of aggression.

‘Fine I’ll go there and deal with him myself, but not before I deal with you” King Xerxes went to the

In this form she had freckles on the tips of her nose, strawberry blonde hair, and rosy red cheeks.

“As you wish Amytis my dear, now what shall we do with the loser that he is, poor, stupid and weak Darius. He has no right to bear the last name of the House of Vel.” Xerxes looked at the golden form of his son, Darius and his golden scales would have made him legendary. He was useless however as he did not want to fall into depravity like the rest of the family. The power given to Darius would make him even more powerful. No matter, he will turn to our side eventually, he has no choice in the matter.

“Put him in exile father, he shall lose the right to become the future king, I shall take his place along with my love Emanon, that shall be this child’s name. The reason behind this is secret ha-ha-ha.” Amytis grinned. Her nose flared, and puffs of pink smoke piped out. Many young suitors had fell to this very same trick.

    The face is almost feminine in its style with the graceful features (Ridgway 1967: 46). This is not what is normally expected of a face made in the Hellenistic era, where the focus would be on the naturalistic features and dramatic expressions. The eyes have not made it through the test of time and are now missing but they would have been made of a precious dark stone, glass, and bone, like archaic kouros. The hair looks like it is beaded, which is a characteristic of kouros but the actual style of the hair, tied back, is not representative of the archaic…

Alex shook her amused at this person and saw Polly, giving Piper an incredulous look that silently asked how Piper could stand her. Alex chuckled because she was thinking the fucking same thing… how could Piper stand these people? She stood up to go to the bathroom and Piper followed her.

    He sneered as they writhed in anguish; it would be hours before they died. Their corpses would remain as macabre trophies, their flesh ripped by animals, until their putrid stench was no longer tolerable. The story of Vlad the Impaler is a gruesome exhibition of the abuse of power, nauseating enough to make a stomach of steel buckle in horror. Yet, often times when granted power, the people who turned away from Vlad’s tale in disgust will exploit it.…

Herodotus made Darius sound much more human. He never mentioned Darius’s lineage for the support of Ahuramazda as the reason for his reign. Rather, Herodotus explained how he came to power through very human and earthly events.…

    As Wolfgang Muller claims, “the fact that the narrator steps out of his role as a distanced teller of the story and directly addresses the swineherd, is an expression of sympathy and, perhaps, even love for this character.” When Eumaeus refers to Odysseus as his master even after his absence reveals his loyalty to him. Furthermore, by saying that his master would have ‘repaid’ him, it demonstrates that Odysseus is a good leader and that Eumaeus is showing xenia because it was a value he upheld. As a result, Odysseus is able to trust him and use his help in defeating the suitors. Homer illustrates another scene in which Eurycleia, another loyal Ithacan, recognizes Odysseus’ scar from when he was a child.…
