It had indeed been an endless search. Theseus had forgotten the meaning of the word sleep like most of Allias' friends. Every single one of them had a duty they needed to complete just to find themselves a step closer to their beloved friend and king. The general felt like he would collapse many times, as if he wasn't strong enough to endure everything that was happening around him. Last time he had been numb, existing just for his return, frozen in time, closed in his endless winter but now, it was different. Allias was out there and it was his duty to find him, bring him home.
"So you've searched this area" Theseus mumbled as he looked at an old yellowish map. He was in his small study, sitting on his comfortable armchair, rubbing his forehead while his lilac eyes scanned the map Ea had opened right in front of him.
