From the mists of time, they emerged, destined to be great warriors, leaders, thinkers.. a truly great people. Though many would try to stop them, many would try to quell their spirits and destroy them, they would not be denied their divine right.
They were loved, hated, mocked and conspired against, but against all odds, they overcame.
This is the story of a proud people, of a grand Journey, of a New Era!
Flashy intro out of the way. Let's begin.
Stats:
The people were tired, for the journey was long and hard, over much treacherous land. As the small caravan stopped for a rest, the great and powerful leader rode to the head of the pack, his head held high, he pulled from his scabbard his sword and heaved it upward, pointing to the sun, his people looked upon him as they would a God.
"My people, the journey ends here! We will, from this humble point begin our rise to absolute power! Come, let us set up our encampments and never again wander in such aimless fashion. We will instead have the aimless wander to us! To our great land of Greece!"
The people rejoiced and looked upon all that was made theirs by his decree, it was to be a humble beginning.
Then, the mighty Alexander looked on as the new Capital was constructed, as he took it all in, the beginning of his dreams and conquests and the joy upon his peoples faces. He smiled, and a tear crept down his face. The people then called for a name, and Alexander, taking the first steps from his new palace and looking over his people was suddenly overcome with joy. He raised his hands to the cheering masses and they grew silent. Alexander then spoke, booming and powerful were his words.
"My people, we will name this city for the Goddess Athena, for she is kind and her words of wisdom have allowed me to lead this great people to such an accomplishment. Behold! For as we are Greeks, those who reside here in Athens, are Athenians and the grandest people in our empire! Come now, let us construct a Monument in honour of the Gods!"
And so a new Era, had begun! (To be continued.)
