The atmosphere was calmed again, the wind was eased, and the sun shined as clouds went away, and birds were singing. Gabriel popped up on water. He didn't move an inch, he didn't breathe, he was cold. Gabriel's body silently moved with the water flow. Later, in a far distance, there was a wooden boat ridden by three Spartans. Two were driving the boat, one in front waited to get a chance to catch Gabriel, named Leon. Leon had two scars across his cheeks passing his eyes. They were very urged, they tried to get close as fast as possible. As Leon reached his hands out, he was shocked to recognize Gabriel's face. He told his partners, but they didn't care but told him to do the order. He was about to grab Gabriel but was ecstatic to see that Gabriel's body had gone through a flag. He immediately pulled himself back and told the others to retreat in disappointment. The flag had the signature of a woman standing on a shell.
As those three Spartans returned, they reported where Gabriel was to their new king, Eurycrates. The king said in a dramatic voice:
"I do not care who he is. Find me the titan!"
"We have searched for it as we knew where.it went, but we had no further progress." - Leon
"THEN KEEP FINDING IT! I give you one chance to bring it here, else, you will die." - Eurycrates
"My king-" - Leon
"NOW!" - Eurycrates
Leon then calmly explained that Gabriel went the opposite way to the sea, yet he somehow ended up being there. Eurycrates's jaws opened as he quickly realized something off. He quietly said to himself:
"If that man... the titan..."
Afterward, he gave a new order that was to send any Spartans alive to Gabriel's place. Leon knew it would go against the law of that island, no more than three people enter at once. Yet, he can't reject the order so he secretly went there first.
Gabriel woke up seeing the sun shined straight into his face. He slowly got up and took a look around. He thought he was on the same beach until he quickly turned back to see a different place. He laid down again and relieve himself, even though the sand was hot, trying to remember what had happened. Yet, the first thing that popped into his mind was his wife and friend's death.
"(This can not be a dream... Where am I and why am I here?)" - Gabriel
Afterward, he got up and went inside the island. As he was wandering around, he heard the footsteps of a group of people. After quickly making leaf clothes, he walked out in front of the group of three, two females, one male. Everybody was confused seeing face to face. Gabriel asked gently:
"Do you have any clothes?"
After a walk, both sides started to know well together. One woman who was the most talkative stood out and talked with Gabriel about their journey:
"We planned to go to Sparta but we lost our map halfway through. We are on Kythera."
"Kythera?" - Gabriel
The woman stopped for a moment and stared at Gabriel:
"You do not know this place as well?"
"I do not know. The problem now is that we do not where we are going. [sigh] I am Gabriel Aimilios, what is your name?" - Gabriel
"Althea." - Aristo
"That is all?" - Gabriel
"Althea Athens." - Aristo
A shockwave went through Gabriel's mind. He was frozen in place. Althea, a woman with dark hair that reached her shoulder, turned back to ask:
"Why do you stop? We need to find a map."
"Athens..." - Gabriel
"What is the problem?" - Althea
Gabriel buried his face in his hands and said he was fine. The walk continued.
"So... Where were you exactly?" - Gabriel
"I and my friends lived on Crete, just this early morning, we had our ride." - Althea
"I... I mean... Do you remember who brought you there?" - Gabriel
"Hmm? You seem to know something, right? My mother told me that we moved to Crete to have a better environment to study in." - Althea
"Who is your mother?" - Gabriel
"She died as I was young. Then, a beautiful school was built right after her death." - Althea
Both stayed silent for a while.
"Do you know about your father?" - Gabriel
"Sadly, no. I have never seen him before. But I was told that he lived in somewhere near Sparta." - Althea
"Are you going there because you wanted to find him?" - Gabriel
"[giggle] No, I am finding my brother! My mother told me about him." - Althea
Gabriel's sights suddenly got brighter and he hugged Althea's shoulder. Althea was surprised:
"What are you doing?"
"Althea, I am your-" - Gabriel
The group suddenly saw a five-meter woman approach them from above. The three got scared and stepped back while Gabriel stood still aggressively. She had long curly blonde hair, in a simple dress, took one final step forward before introducing herself:
"My name is Aphrodite, a God, current landlord of Kythera."
Gabriel opened his eyes widely as he saw a God for the first time. He was surprised by her size and beauty. He asked:
"What do you want from us?"
Aphrodite gently answered:
"You all can wish for one thing on this island, with conditions, you cannot destroy anything here, and you have to return what you wished for once you leave."
Gabriel was about to say something but he hesitated. He asked the group what to wish for. One said he wanted a superpower, one said she wanted to be rich. Althea asked again to Gabriel, but he replied that his goal was beyond the island. Althea then said:
"What is our goal? To visit Sparta! Stay calm, I have an idea, and it will not disappoint you."
She then approached Aphrodite and asked for a map of Greece. The other two were surprised but they didn't reject. Gabriel then wondered:
"Do we have a boat?"
"We have a ship." - Althea
A piece of paper magically appear in front of Aphrodite, she then sharpened rock and carved a map. Her hands widespread as she spoke:
"This is your wish, I shall now rest."
Aphrodite then disappeared into the air. The map fell to the ground and Althea took it. All looked into the map. Gabriel looked at Althea and said:
"That was very wise of you, Althea."
"Thank you. We should go now, the ship is pretty far away from us. Sparta is to the North East of us." - Althea
"Althea, there is something I need to tell you." - Gabriel
"Let us talk later, Gab. I am sure you also want to go to Sparta! We will get there." - Althea
He was silenced, but it gave Gabriel a brief smile. Althea turned back:
"Do you want to come with us?"
"I am coming!" - Gabriel
As he started walking, heard someone was calling his name from the far back, he shouted to the group:
"I will come later!"
Then ran for the voice. Gabriel was shocked to see an armored Spartan approaching him. He spoke to himself:
"No..."
As he got closer, he recognized the face. He shouted:
"Leon! What are you doing here?"
"Gabriel!!" - Leon
Leon yelled out Gabriel's name as he ran towards him with a sword. Gabriel had no chance but to fight him. As both were getting closer, Gabriel took a pile of dirt and threw it onto Leon's eyes. He was blinded, but he still attacked. Gabriel dodged his first attack then knocked his leg. Knowing that Leon was a friend of Nasir, Gabriel went easy on him. Yet, Leon then cut off Gabriel's leg. Gabriel almost screamed out loud as he kept his mouth in his hands, he didn't want anyone else to hear his scream. But after all of that, Gabriel wasn't even shaking, he then crawled to Leon and caught his throat. Gabriel said in a deep tone:
"You... I should not have trusted you."
"The... new king has ordered... the whole empire... to kill you." - Leon
"What?" - Gabriel
He released Leon. Leon gasped rapidly:
"Eurycrates! He will send everyone here to kill you!"
"But why?!" - Gabriel
"You... are the mad titan who wiped out half the city and killed the old king." - Leon
"What? No! I... What are you talking about?" - Gabriel
"I am giving you a chance to die before they reach the island. Once they are here, everything will be buried!" - Leon
"I... do not understand." - Gabriel
"DIE!" - Leon
Leon quickly stabbed Gabriel in the stomach. Blood drooled over the sword. Leon stood up and apologized to him, he said it was for the better good. He then carried Gabriel's body over the shoulder and went away. Suddenly, words came out from Gabriel's mouth:
"Perhaps you are right..."
Leon was so shocked that he accidentally dropped Gabriel. Gabriel continued quietly:
"I can not... die."
"You..." - Leon
Gabriel stood up again, his leg had regenerated, and his stomach was fulfilled.
"I will not kill you. I am sorry. You are truly trustworthy. I understood the circumstances, and I knew why did you do all of this." - Gabriel
"Gabriel, I..." - Leon
Leon suddenly fell and cried as he was holding back the whole time.
"Get up, Leon. Now that I know my true identity, I can not reject whoever is that titan. Eurycrates is an inexperienced king, do you agree?" - Gabriel
"What is your point?" - Leon
Gabriel grabbed his shoulders and said aggressively:
"Rebuild the Spartan." - Gabriel
"Who, me!?" - Leon
"This is the only way." - Gabriel
"Then, what about you?" - Leon
"I will end the empire of Eurycrates." - Gabriel
"I will fight with you!" - Leon
"I can face them myself. You need to head to the north and find a group of three. Tell them that I will remember them. One person is named Althea Athens. I, Gabriel Aimilios, permit you to take care of her AND REBUILD THE SPARTAN." - Gabriel
Leon looked straight into Gabriel's eyes, remember everything he said, controlled his emotions, and did the order without looking back.
The Spartans had arrived. Hundreds of boats and ships had got on to the coast and started investing for Gabriel. As they lit the trees and the environment, they had truly angered Aphrodite. She appeared from above and started to shoot lighting, but it wasn't effective, she could only strike in a small radius every five seconds. The Spartans then threw loads of spears and damaged her back. But she didn't give up. She then jumped down and smashed the pity human. Suddenly, many Spartans had already crawled upon her body and attack everywhere. Aphrodite struggled to even stand up. Gabriel looked back and was relieved to see everyone he knew had gone away peacefully. He then grabbed the sword that Leon left behind and headed into battle. The Spartans had seen Gabriel approaching them. Despite they wanted to build a defense line, Eurycrates ordered them to attack. The fight between Gabriel and the Spartans didn't occur for long, Gabriel had been slain in the spine. The sun was upon everyone, the weather had gotten hotter, and the atmosphere got tightened. It had triggered Gabriel a lot. He was frustrated, his anger was rising. And thus, the transformation began once again. The storms were coming, the winds were stronger, the clouds darkened. Everyone was shocked to see a man who not only couldn't die but also turned into a giant. Within seconds, Typhos had returned in front of their eyes, but then again, his eyes were closed. He crushed many men in the distance by hand. He then summoned a strong wind and pulled the Spartans into the sea. The devastation was seen by Aphrodite, clear as day. She then flew up the sky. In the meantime, Typhos had killed every Spartan, the winds had eased the fire. He suddenly saw a ship that was heading to Sparta. Typhos and Althea starred at each other. At the last second, his eyes opened as if Gabriel had somewhat control over him. He couldn't think much, he knew that everyone knew his identity. Typhos then flew away at a fast speed. He hoped that he could restart an isolated life in Crete, and wished the best for everyone else.
Typhos was suddenly out of strength while he was flying. He again fell to the sea. At night, Gabriel returned to a normal state, but he was still unconscious. He wondered where he was. Gabriel Aimilios woke up just to see the same scene he saw before, but at night. Sea waves flow as the wind was cool, everything was silent and peaceful. Gabriel thought he had reached the place he wanted. But as he got up, he suddenly heard heavy steps from behind approaching him. He wasn't given enough time to react. A sudden, and forceful kick smacked his head. Gabriel felt hurt for a moment until he turned back and saw a tall brown man. The upper half of his head was black, he had upwards pointy ears, several bandages were seen through his shoulder, and he had a gold ring on each arm. The man then shouted:
"You human will die under the hand of Anubis."
Gabriel, despite not understanding what he was being told, didn't pause to fight back. He straight up punched Anubis, but he quickly held his hand. Gabriel tried to punch with his other hand but failed. Both struggled with each other. The aggressive expression seen on Anubis' face had shown that he had the advantage, Gabriel's body was shaking. As Gabriel was almost overwhelmed, he swung his leg and tried to make the enemy fall. Gabriel then held Anubis' shoulder and banged his head. Anubis swung his hand and a ring fell onto his hand. It magically turned into a crook, with a sharp spear at one end. He then quickly slain Gabriel's head. Much blood spread out, yet, Gabriel, bit his teeth, tried to grab Anubis' leg, but he soon kicked Gabriel away. Gabriel had stopped moving.
