Chereads / Echoes of a Forgotten Era / Chapter 6 - A Goat and Armor

Chapter 6 - A Goat and Armor

I woke up early in the morning, feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead. I had a mission to complete, and I was determined to see it through to the end. I left my hotel room in Acropolis and started my journey towards the Oracle of Delphi.

As I walked, I noticed that the landscape began to change. The lush green trees and bushes started to disappear, replaced by dry, barren rocks and boulders. I could feel the heat rising as the sun beat down on me.

Suddenly, I heard a roar coming from ahead. It sounded like a wild beast. I cautiously moved towards the sound, spear in hand, ready for a fight. As I turned a corner, I saw it - the Chimera.

The Chimera was a terrifying sight. It had the body of a lion, the wings of an eagle, and the head of a goat. Flames shot out of its mouth as it bellowed another deafening roar.

I braced myself for the battle ahead. I transformed my spear into a flute, hoping to use the power of music against the beast. I played a tune, but the Chimera was unfazed. It charged towards me, flames blazing.

I dodged the attack and ran behind a nearby rock. The Chimera circled around, trying to find me. I took this opportunity to play a different tune, one that was more upbeat and lively. To my surprise, the Chimera started to sway its head to the music.

I continued to play, moving closer to the Chimera. Its flames died down, and it seemed to be under some sort of trance. I took this chance to strike. I transformed my flute back into a spear and charged towards the beast.

The Chimera tried to attack me, but it was too late. I plunged my spear into its heart, and it crumpled to the ground.

As I stood there, panting and sweating, I noticed something strange. The Chimera's skin was starting to shimmer. It was transforming into a magical armor, a gift for defeating the beast.

I carefully picked up the armor and examined it. It was a beautiful golden color, and it felt light as a feather. I put it on, feeling the power surge through my veins. I knew that this armor would be invaluable on my quest for revenge.

With renewed determination, I continued on my journey towards the Oracle of Delphi. The adventure with the Chimera had been a challenging one, but I had emerged victorious. And with the magical armor now on my side, I felt like I could conquer anything that came my way.

As I walked through the forest, I suddenly heard a loud rustling noise behind me. I quickly turned around, but I saw nothing but the trees and bushes swaying in the wind.

The sunlight barely made its way through the thick foliage above me, creating a dim and eerie atmosphere. Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound from behind me. I quickly turned around and saw nothing. I dismissed it as a mere product of my imagination and continued on my journey.

However, as I moved forward, I heard the sound again, and this time, it was louder. I drew my spear, ready to face whatever creature dared to attack me. Suddenly, out of the dense foliage, a group of creatures emerged. They were not harpies, nor were they chimeras, but they were similar in their ferocity and bloodthirstiness.

The creatures were called the Stymphalian birds, and they were unlike any bird I had ever seen before. Their feathers were made of sharp metal, and they had a keen sense of hearing and sight. I knew I had to be careful and strategic in my approach.

I started to maneuver around the trees, using them as cover, and occasionally throwing my spear towards the birds to distract them. It was a long and exhausting battle, and I had to use all my skills and wits to defeat them. In the end, I emerged victorious

Finally i got out of the forest and in the horizon I could see mountains.
