As I stood at the brink of the kingdom, looking at upon the land of my birth, a feel of dedication coursed thru me. I Jason, son of Aeson, and descended from the line of Aeolus, the god of the winds, My father Aeson founded this city, so as the  rightful inheritor to the throne of Iolcus, and I am here to reclaim what is rightfully mine.

As the sun was setting behind the towering walls of a Lolcus, casting a lengthy shadow over the city as I approached.  My heart pounded in my chest, the rhythm of my footsteps mingling with the faint murmur of the city night activities. Dust from the street clung to my skin, and the cloak I wore flapped lightly into the breeze. It has been a protracted adventure, however finally, I am here in my birth land.

My thoughts become a whirlwind of mind and memories. The phrases of the centaur chrion echoed in my ears."You will satisfy an exquisite prophecy, Jason. Remember, by no means lose sight of your motive." My motive became clean now, however the truth of it became daunting. I adjust my grip at the personnel I carried, a piece of timber that had me through my trials.

As I neared the city gates, I could not assist however note the silence that was regarded to descend over the humans nearby. Whispers accompanied my eyes, widened in recognition, and hands subtly. The motive for their action became clear as I looked at my feet, My heart skipped a beat as I noticed the single sandal on my proper foot, the opposite misplaced into the treacherous river crossing in advance that day. The prophecy of only sandaled man here speeding returned to me, its weight settling closely on my shoulder.
