Dismissing The Army

The 500 km journey from Parthenigh to Thesalie took Alexander almost two months to complete, averaging only 15 kilometers a day- half his usual pace, all due to the weather.

And during this time, all three, Alexander, Ophenia, and Gelene suffered various sicknesses, with Gelene still running quite a high fever when they reached the city.

Thus when Alexander was afforded the luxury of resting in the lavish palace with its ruler Lapitus wishing to be a gracious host and inviting him to stay and enjoy himself for a few days, the exhausted man was more than happy to accept and let the group rest their tired bodies.

"Big brother! Yay!" Alexander's agreement to stay also caused a great cheer to erupt from Fabiyana who was also there.

The little girl had gotten a bit homesick after being all alone in Zanzan for the first time in her life and with nothing better to do there, Cambyses sent her here to spend some time with her parents.
