Pegasus Vs. Chimera Page #2

---

I'm sure he wishes to shake the hand

of the man who gave us Tiryns.

It will take many more deaths

for my father's soul to be at peace.

But yours is the first, Stephos.

My father's sword.

Stephos!

Stephos, come!

Come join in on the celebration.

Who goes there?

Quickly.

And so it begins. It's accepted our offer.

What begins?

You've always wanted something

to hunt the Tiryns.

I'm giving it to you.

For you, my Emperor.

A monster to hunt the Tiryns.

-What is it?

-Chimera.

Creature from the underworld.

It searches for souls and then sends them

to the bowels of Hades.

Does it understand what I say?

It's accepted your blood offering.

It's at your command.

Seek out the Tiryns that hide

in the western forests.

Spare none of them.

-What are you doing here?

-I could have killed you.

And I you.

I can take care of myself, blacksmith.

I can see that.

-What was that?

-I don't know.

But I'm not going to stand here

and wait for it to find me.

There's a Tiryn camp deeper in the forest,

a night's journey from here.

My people will protect us.

So, tell me, I'm curious,

is it normal for Tiryn women

to behave like men and learn the sword?

Not normal, but not prohibited.

I see.

Since we're going to be traveling together,

can I ask your name?

I am Philony of Tiryns.

My father was King Dorian.

You.

You're the daughter of Dorian,

that's why you know how to fight.

He was a great leader.

Why are you following me?

The moment has come for me

to avenge my father's death.

And I want to help you save Tiryns.

The soldiers are but scattered remnants.

They won't get far.

What of Queen Caria and the princess?

They're not in sight yet.

The Chimera is still on their trail.

So victory is just days away.

The Tiryns are within our grasp.

You don't look very excited.

I am just waiting to discuss my reward.

I've kept my promises,

now I want my payment.

I've made you second-in-command

of my entire empire.

I prefer the original deal, where I get

the western provinces as my kingdom.

Nonsense! You have far more power,

as second-in-command here.

With all due respect, Orthos,

I would prefer having my own lands

to govern, as promised.

I'm having second thoughts about putting

a potential rival on my border...

I've sworn allegiance to you, Orthos.

I am not your rival.

Is that why your spells are getting weaker?

You want to hasten my departure,

take over when I'm gone?

As I've always told you, My Lord,

my spells are but temporary.

Then find a way of making them permanent,

and we'll discuss the western provinces.

Your father was a just man.

A just man in an unjust world.

It's Orthos who's unjust, not the world.
