Apocalypsis

(Egan and Leo along with the army of Olympians made their way towards Alexandria. The journey took a couple of days to reach the city. When they went there it was dark and the whole city was burning and the walls were down. Wailing and misery were felt all over Alexandria. The Persian soldiers killed innocents and molested a lot of

unimpeachable women. Egan closed his eyes for a moment and the cry of the people echoed over his ears. Leo's eyes filled with tears and rage.)

Egan:

We have seen enough.

Now let them pay for their crimes and for the cry of innocents.

Leo!

Be with me!

We end them all tonight and save your city.

Leo:

They brought Apocalypse to us.

Now we show them what it is!!

Egan:

(aloud) Soldiers!! Come with me!!

Fight with all your might.

We must not let those mongrels take Alexandria.

(To Leo) Find Cicero!!

Egan:

FORWARD!!

(The army moved inside the city. The Olympians started to kill every Persian they see. Knowing their arrival the Persian army started to attack Olympians. The fight was intense. Leo and Egan showered their rage over them tearing Persian flesh upon to pieces. The Olympians started to isolate the people from there and safeguarded them in a stable near. Egan was fighting some Persians inside a tunnel and murdered them all. Suddenly he hears a woman moaning with pain. He followed the voice and entered another opening on his left. There was a door which was half-opened and the voice came through the door. He broke inside and saw five Persian soldiers raping an innocent girl. She shouts

"Help me!!"

A Persian slaps her and grabs her hair. One of the Persians came forward and...)

Persian soldier:

Came here to fuck her?

Another soldier:

Try her!

She's sweet.

The first Persian soldier who came forward:

Wanna fuck?

Egan:

Of course!!

I wanna fuck you all.

( and beheaded the Persian soldier standing in front of him in cold blood. the other soldiers grabbed their swords and attacked him. But Egan killed everyone and rescued the girl.)

(He brought the girl safe and handed over to his soldiers to keep her safe. Then he looked over to Leo and..)

Egan:

We need to find Cicero.

(Both moved towards the palace swiftly on their horses. They killed each Persians blocked their way.)

(On the way)

Egan:

Who taught you to fight?

Leo:

My father.

Egan:

You honor your father!

Fight like how you killed those Persians.

(They reached a place where the palace was visible.)

Leo:

The Palace is well guarded.

Egan:

We need to break in.

Leo:

What do we do?

Egan:

We need a distraction.

(Some Olympian soldiers came in that way. Egan asked Leo to break in and find Cicero while he'll deal with the Persians.)

(As per Egan's command Leo broke in and Egan attacked the Persians on the entrance along with his army. Leo grabbed a rope hanging and climbed up the palace. As he was afraid of height he just looked above and finally climbed up. He moved in through an open window and killed a Persian soldier inside. He further moved in and heard the cry of a baby. Following the voice, he entered into the bedchamber of the king. Over there he saw a beautiful young woman delivered a baby.

He just froze and thought of a way to save them. He cleaned the baby and put some clothes and slowly took them to the underground. There was a secret tunnel made to escape during crisis.)

Woman:

How do you know this?

Leo:

I used to visit someone in this palace often in this way. This tunnel will lead you straight to Giannitsa, a small city away from here.

You'll be safe there.

(Leo tried to move away and something hit in his mind. So he turned towards her and...)

Leo:

Why were you in the king's chamber?

Whose child is this?

Woman:

I and King Cicero share a bond and this baby is born of that.

Leo:

Is this the child of Cicero?

Woman:

He is!

But no one must know about it and I fear for his safety.

Leo:

Does anyone know about your affair?

Woman:

No.

Leo:

Then let's keep it that way.

Escape from here and keep the child safe.

Let the gods be with you!!

(She just uttered 'thanks' and ran from there.)

(Leo moved upstairs looking for Cicero. He fought his enemies on the way and moved forward. He searched all around and Cicero was nowhere to be found. Egan came that way and...)

Egan:

Seen him?

Leo:

Not yet.

Egan:

You search over the doors at the top and I'll look here and downstairs.

(Both moved in opposite directions and suddenly Delia's words struck him.

"Keep him safe"

(So, he moved back and asked to follow him.)

(Then both came down and searched for Cicero all around and found nothing.)

Egan:

He might've escaped.

Leo:

No!

He isn't!

Egan:

How are you so sure?

(Leo's face became pale and widened and his hand rose to point something behind Egan. Looking over his response Egan looked back and saw Cicero was hung to death without the head. Egan's eyes trembled and knelt down and shouted with deep pain. His temper rose and took his sword and turned back. The Persians surrounded them. Leo held his sword firmly and prepared to confront all the Persians surrounded them.)

(After a moment they started attacking and both showed their rampage over them. The fight became so intense. Alexandria has been filled with smoke and fire. The fire started to consume the palace. The fight was so profound and both of them killed lots and lots of Persians. The swords they had swung like ribbon and blood was spilled all around the hall like a stain. The room started to get consumed by fire.)

Leo:

We need to go!!

(Cutting down a soldier) We have no time.

Egan:

I won't come until I kill everyone.

(Suddenly an arrow pierced Leo's throat and he fell down failing balance.)

(Looking at that Egan's heart froze and his rage increased. He slaughtered the Persians around and the Olympian army came and dealt with them while Egan ran over to Leo and...)

Leo:

(grabbing Egan's hand)

I know you love her!

Pro..promis me!

You'll take care of her!!

Egan:

(filled with tears)

Nothing will happen to you!

Hear me!

I'll save you.

Leo:

You can't.

Forget me.

Think of Greece and her.

Promise me you'll marry her.

Egan:

What?

She loves you, Leo.

I'm not worth for that.

Leo:

You really are.

She is waiting for me(coughs)

for our marriage.

All I want is you to stand in my place.

Egan:

But...

Leo:

Promise me, Egan!!

I want your child to rule Olympia someday.

Egan:

But, Leo....

Leo...

(There was no response from him. His eyes were wide open and Egan started to cry hugging him with lots of love while the place was decorated by fire. Thus at that moment, Delia felt something lost but she was not sure that a precious diamond sacrificed itself for his nation opened up a new door for her life.)

THE JOURNEY STILL CONTINUES...
