5 The Beast and Maestro Kore Alcmene

My homeland is the place, where everything began.

From politics, to civilized civilizations and to the first heroes.

As you may have deduced, I am from Greece, and I am proud to be Greek.

Growing up, I would hear of Pythagoras, Homer, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Diogenes and Archimedes.

I would hear and read their all their works, and their life-stories.

I would watch movies, tv-series and animated movies/tv-series about the heroes of my golorius Hellenic Republic.

Inspired by the past, I would study mathematics, ethics, politics and literature.

I would train in the art of Pankration.

I truly am proud of my people… but. Everything has changed, my homeland is still beautiful, but it is also in crippling debts.

The Chalice has appeared.

My name is Kore Alcmene, and I have a desire to fulfill.

Kore's jewelry command is an arm bracelet.

Kore was standing within Pheneus.

She took some of her blood, and dripped it on the ground, she then uttered the summoning chant;

" As you once fought for this family, so then, as now, I hereby, as your heir and Maestro, summon you, my ancestor as my attendant! "

As the whole town shook, Kore was now looking at her mighty and glorious Attendant.

She received these words in her mind;

Attendant; Iphicles.

Weapon; Mmaagha Kamalu.

Limiters;

First limiter broken; he gains access to his blessing from Archangel Michael.

Second limiter broken; his Longsword, the Mmaagha Kamalu, gains its ability to cause tremors when struck on the ground.

Mmaagha Kamalu's secondary feature also goes into effect.

Third limiter broken; Nine-ways to kill.

The giant half-brother of Heracles looked at the young Hellenic woman.

Before Iphicles could utter a word.

Kore took him by the arm, and threw him on the ground, with such force, that the whole town shook once again.

Kore was now the one looking down at Iphicles.

" Damn… " he uttered, impressed.

Kore smiled as she helped Iphicles up.

She then took one gemstone, and broke it.

" So " said she " Are you ready for the greatest labor of them all? "

Iphicles' response, was a simple smile.
