Estate House of Demetrios

[General Maximus]

RESIDENTS

DEMETRIOS Age - 49 Demetrios comes from a family with a long military legacy. This fits his personality as well, since he is aggressive and eager person, always ready to defend his family and friends, or taking the fight to his enemies and rivals. At the same time, he is a very cool-minded and patient person, never making hasty decisions that might lead to worse. He is also very friendly person, although his bold voice is very intimidating. His militaristic and non-eloquent speech might inspire the troops, but at the same time he isn't very good at interacting with others. But his fighting abilities are excellent. For his looks, he is your typical Greek nobleman. He has a big, curvy beard and medium-sized hair that don't go below the neck. But he is almost always clad in plain clothes, with little ornaments if ever. His face has a visible scar on the eyebrow and another one on his left cheek, and there is another scar on his hand and one on right leg, as a mark and proof of life-threatening situations in battle. Overall, he looks quite intimidating, with a muscleful body that was strongly built, and wide chests. This gets him into problems as unacquainted people think of him as a bully due to his looks, even though he is a friendly person. He is short in height though. His wish is to become Strategos, and leave Athens with a large army. HERAKLIOS Age - 18 Heraklios is the only son of Demetrios. He was educated in military matters, which he upholds like the the rest of the family line. But unlike his father, he is a very eccentric, impatient young man who has a tendency to take all things happily and excitedly. He has not seen a fight yet, but he is brave and wishes to lead an army himself. He is also very friendly to everyone, leading his own huge group of friends, spending times in taverns and gymnasiums. For his looks, he is a fine-looking man, popular with young men and many women. He is averagely built, neither fat nor muscleful. He is tall though, unlike his father. Not much is known about his objective in life, but everyone knows that he is a very ambitious young man.

WORK IN PROGRESS

[Honors Bastion]

Kassandros and Alexias arrived at the estate of Demetrios and requested a meeting with him.

[General Maximus]

A slave takes the visitors inside the house, through the central courtyard. They come to a large room, with couches and chairs, neatly arranged in a square on a large carpet in the center. The walls still lack decoration, as most of the items were still being unpacked and placed.

They are politely offered seats. After some time, Demetrios appear, and greets the visitors with a warm friendly smile -

"Welcome to my estate house." He orders a slave to bring some food and drink. "I heard you wished to meet with me? I am all ears, mate." He then pours the wine in steel goblets for both of them.

Alexias enters the home looking around.
I will get to the point. We are going on a war. Are you with us?

[General Maximus]

At first Demetrios looks a bit surprised, but then suddenly his face changes into an evil smile and shady eyes, full of determination, like he used to have during his battles 20 years ago.

"I am with you, mate. But whom are we going to fight?"

[m_1512]

Alexias says.
Syracuse!

He takes a scroll from the messenger.
My father has summoned me to Piraeus. Come with me, both of you.

[General Maximus]

Demetrios nods, and also orders a slave to follow him.
