Immortals Page #3

- But she believed.

She believed, Theseus.

You must return to your village.

- Have you found the Oracle?

- We did my lord.

But our men were lost before we could recover her.

A storm swept them to sea.

And the Oracle? Did she survive?

She travels towards Kolpos with the slaves.

She could be leading them to the Bow.

Send the beast to Kolpos.

We will go to Tartarus.

- Mondragon!

- Sire...

You stay here.

Set an ambush in the pit.

I'm sorry

I couldn't protect you mother.

But I promise you our family name

will not die with me.

Hyperion's legions are

gathering at Tartarus.

That is where Hellenes will fall.

That future is not set.

But likely.

It will be a slaughter.

You have no faith.

Heathens!

That is true, Darius.

But not always.

When I was just a boy,

I prayed to the gods for a horse

The gods never answered me,

so I stole one instead.

We are surrounded by heathens!

It's alright.

It's alright, Theseus.

What happened to me?

Your arm. You were poisoned.

Where are the others?

They're putting Darius body to rest.

She was right.

For all those years, I doubted it.

I doubted their existence.

Your mother's death

was not in vain, Theseus.

It was fate that brought you back... for the Bow.

With that in your hands Theseus,

it will bring Hellenus victory.

You were right, Theseus.

My visions are a curse.

I want to see the world

through my own eyes,

and feel with my own heart

and to touch with my own flesh.

Hey monk!

I did some "shopping" last night.

Good weapon, huh?

Good to see you're still alive.

- I was worried that cow got the best of you.

- He almost did.

She saved my life.

Looks like she did more than that.

Careful...

Just because you have that bow,

doesn't mean I'm gonna treat you any differently.

Good. We march to the monastery.

We have a war to fight.

Mount Tartarus

The faithful believe the Titans are still buried deep within the mountains.

The Great Wall is the Hellenecs only hope

against your army.

Defences?

Originally, there was a dam,

but the Hellenecs have since adapted it.

No one could have anticipated

the enemy you have become.

How many are there?

How many have made it here, Your Majesty.

I'm not sure.

- How many?

- I'm not sure, Your Majesty.

- 800.

- And the gate?

weighing over 12 tons.

It was designed to be

impenetrable, your majesty.

Have you known of a gate

designed to be anything but?

Go be of service somewhere else.

Where is he?!

I thought Hyperion was suppose to be camped here.

We should continue.

Tartarus is another two days

along this ridge.

What is that sound?

Stay down! Stavros, help me!

Stay down!

No!

My sisters!

My sisters!

They're in the bull!

No! My sisters!

I am the Oracle!

- I am the Oracle.

- I'm also looking for.

I am Oracle...

Theseus! They are still here.

Wait! Monk!

It's a trap!

Monk!

Theseus!

Do not stop until you reach Tartarus.

The horses will run

until their hearts give out.

Hyperion will soon have the Bow. Leave!

Forgive me, Father!

I only broke the law

to protect the mortal.

No God will ever again come to your aid!

You are on your own!

Do you understand, mortal?

I have faith in you, Theseus.

Prove me right!

Lead your people!

Halt!

The horse I prayed for when I was a boy.

What is wrong with them?

They're dying.

- Where are the men?

- They have yet to return, sire.

What does the sign on the bird tell you?

Speak.

The Gods...

- They came from above.

- The Gods?

They appeared

and laid waste to the men, my king.

The Gods...

They protected the slave who

travels with the Oracle.

The Gods fight on their behalf, sire.

If the men hear of this,

there will be panic.

I know...

In peace,

sons bury their fathers.

In war,

fathers bury their sons.

Are we at war, father?

I have important information

for the Council.

Theseus! I know this man.

Let him through.

I hope you've come to join the fight.

Where's the army?

Tell me about the slave.

He's from your village, is he not?

- Answer me!

- Yes.

He was a peasant.

As was I.

- Forgive me, Your Majesty. I meant no...

- Quiet.

And his family?

His mother was raped

by some villagers.

Nobody would marry her.

He was a bastard.

And his name?

- Theseus.

- Very well. I'll talk to him.

Helios tells me

that you have information useful to us.

Hyperion is in possession

of the Epirus Bow.

- The Epirus Bow?

- Yes, the weapon forged by Hercules.

I heard the same stories you did as a child.

Gods in living in the clouds

and Titans buried in rocks...

Listen! I was a disbeliever

just like you are.

But the Epirus Bow exists.

I understand that there are many Hellenecs

who put great faith in the myths and the gods,

but we in the Hellenac Council do not.

They are metaphors son,

nothing more.

We are a society of laws

based on negotiation and reason.

If you try to negotiate with Hyperion, you will be the death os us all.

If I were to accept your council,

Theseus from Kolpos, what would it be?

Seal the gates

and prepare for war!

We have Happolyt battalions returning,

We can not seal the gates.

No one will return!

We are the last!

I'm sure you'll understand

if I do not accept the advice

of an alluring palm reader

and her peasant lover.

Sir, a Heraklian envoy approaches.

There, you see? No ruler

wishes for war.

They only wish to be taken seriously

at the bargaining table.

Alert the Council

and prepare a delegation.

Bows!

Stop!

Stop!

Remain still,

or we will be forced to fire upon you!

extend your arms outward!

He bears the olive branch

of peace.

My king wishes to speak

with the one called Theseus from Kolpos.

Theseus!

Hyperion's envoy desires a word with you.

Like the vision.

He sends for you with arms open.

- Seeking an embrace of loyalty.

- Phaedra...

Have you never been wrong?

We can't protect you beyond this gate.

I am Theseus!

Come closer.

I have a message for you.

Don't risk it.

At worst, you lose a peasant.

- Better?

- Yes.

Why do you cover your face?

All are equal in

Hyperion's midst.

I myself am only a vessel for

of his demands, nothing more.

- And he ask me by name?

- Indeed he does.

And how does he know it?

Theseus, there is little the king

does not know.

He knows that you have no father, and like him,

you were cast aside by your very own people.

Does he know of my rage?

Does he know that I live only to see

his blood on the end of my sword?

Does he know that he butchered my mother?

Now that, he's seen your face, he knows.

You wouldn't make it.

Coward!

Embrace me, Theseus.

They will never give you a say at their table.

But you could sit at the head of mine.

Long after this war is over,

My mark will be left on

this world forever.

The sun will never set

on my blood, Theseus.

This is what I offer you, immortality.

Deeds are eternal, not the flesh.

The Gods may be on your side, but tomorrow...

..I unleash the Titans.

- What was discussed?

- Seal the gate.

- What were his demands?
