- Well, I think we need to discuss something serious boy, King Ifiklis suddenly said.

- Yes Sire?

- I think there are things that needs to be said.

- I' don't know what you mean Sire?

- I want you to understand the following: If something were to happen to me, you could be in danger. You probably already are.

- Sire?

- I have many enemies. But the most treacherous ones live under my own roof. They will probably try to kill you. In fact, I suspect they already tried.

- I don't understand Sire?

- You know we are ... that we have a special bond. Right?

- I've heard some wild speculations about it, Sire, but I can assure you I didn't really believe it.

- Well, I can't be sure, but there are reasons to believe them. But actually it doesn't really make any difference, right?

- I don't ....

- What matters is what they believe. If they believe you are my blood, you are a threat to them. It doesn't matter that you are illegitimate. You are still a threat to the Royal family. Do you understand me?

- Yes ...

- Even if you have no intention of making any kind of claim, or even look at anybody at the palace, or anything for that matter, they would still feel threatened. And it's in their nature to eliminate that threat. I know how they think. My advice to you is that you stay as far away from them as you can. Keep away from Manthos. The further away the better.

- But I wouldn't dream of claiming anything from them! And where would I go?

- Listen, we don't know each other that well. Honestly, I'm not a very good man. I've done many things I'm not proud of. But killing an innocent man in cold blood? That would be beneath my dignity. I fear my brother doesn't see it that way, and moreover he is under influence of that diabolical woman.

- His wife?

- His wife? No, she is a nobody. I mean our mother, the Queen. She is a cunning bitch, a vile human being, and capable of unspeakable things. But she is also my mother.

- I don't know what to say ...

- Just think about what I've told you, and please don't discuss this with anybody. You would only put them at risk too.

- Of course Sire.

- Now, I have to lie down, I'm not feeling well. I'm so cold...

Nashuja was shocked and shaken by the whole thing, and didn't know what to do, or even what to think. He felt very confused, to say the least.

- Well let me survive this war first, he thought, and then we will see.

King Ifiklis I (Amphytrionas) - DECEASED

GENDER - Male

AGE - Young Adult

King of Manthos

ASPIRATION - Friend of the World

TRAITS: Proper, Self-Absorbed, Snob

SIGN: Leo

PARENTS - King Radhamanthos and Queen Alkmini

PARTNER - Memilia Amphytriona

CHILDREN - (Nashuja), Mijararos, Linos, Ofelia

Download: King Radhamanthos and the Royal family

Story: Once Upon A Time - The first ones

Family tree: The first ones

YOUNG ADULT: The family have decided that Ifiklis must marry, and have chosen the daughter of one of the rich petty kings on the mainland. He himself is strongly against the marriage, but bends to the will of the family. Romance may not be at the top of the list for the newlyweds, but they eventually come to an agreement between themselves. His wife is very ambitious, and encourages her husband to take more power in the family. Ifiklis now believes that he is better suited to rule the kingdom than his aging father, and this leads to division both in the family and in the military forces. His popularity among the general public was never very high, but is now at an all-time low, which could turn out to be fatal.

TEENAGER: He is well aware of his position in Manthos, and knows how to exploit it. Nevertheless, he feel that his role as heir to the throne is more of a curse than a privilege. He is not brave enough to challenge it though, and performs his duties in the way tradition demands. Unfortunately he also have a destructive - and self-destructive - behavior in the way he govern his subjects. Why? Maybe it's inner conflicts? Self-sabotage? Pure evil? Because he can? (How would I know, I'm not a psychologist...)

- What the ...! I'M HIT! Sweet Goddess! I'M HIT!

- Help me someone! Please!

- Shh! You'll be fine. Prince! Help me get him over there.

- Am I going to die?

- No, I don't think so. The arrow didn't go deep. But you are bleeding. Drink something and lay still.

- I feel so tired. And cold. I think I'm dying...

- No, you will not die. it's just the fluids running out of you. I will get someone to buckle you up. You will feel better tomorrow.

- If I'm not dead...

- You will not die! Stop whining. It doesn't help.

- What kind of games are you playing Herakli? Are you not my brother?

- What do you mean?

- Why are you deliberately trying to make us loose the battle? Or maybe the whole war? Are you a kataskopos? A spy?

- How dare you! I would never...

- Trying to eliminate my very best man? Who also happens to be my own blood? A bastardos, but still. HA! Why do you look so surprised brother? Did you think I didn't know?

- Eh... I...

- Well anyway, as soon as we finish this bloody war there will be changes. I want you to leave tonight, your "advices" will not be needed here anymore. You are a disgrace.

It was also time for goodbyes at the palace.

- Ah, Ifikli my dear. Are you ready to go?

- Yes, mother. You will have to govern things here at home, as you have done before. Heraklis will join me at the front. If something important happens, I'm just a three days ride away.

- Yes of course, dear.

- It's really unfortunate that my brother and I will be at the front at the same time, but the resistance from our enemy is very hard. And Heraklis is an excellent military leader.

- I understand son. We will manage here, don't worry.

- Okay then, I greet you mother. Good luck.

- Episis son, take care.

- Mother, you wanted to see me in private? I am on my way, but ...

- Yes Herakli, it's about the delicate situation you told me about.

- Do we really have to talk about that now? I'm sure it can wait?

- Unfortunately not. Please sit. According to my sources the person in question will be at the front.

- I believe he will, yes.

- It would be very convenient if he did not return from there.

- What?! Are you asking me to kill him?! I can't do that!!

- Well, so many lives get lost these days. Son, I don't expect you to do it yourself. But we both know that some dispositions are more... well, exposed than others.

- That might be so, but to deliberately subject someone to it, that would be cruel. There must be another way.

- You know I wouldn't suggest it if I didn't believe it was absolutely necessary. If you made the connection, it's just a matter of time until someone else might see it as well. And then...

- But mother...

- Even if he doesn't claim a position himself, he might be used. We are surrounded by enemies, as you are well aware of. This would be the safest solution. It's the only solution.

- And if Ifiklis finds out? After all, it is his blood. He might not like it.

- Well, let's hope he wont find out. It would just complicate things. But this would still be the best solution. For the family. For the future.

- It's still grim, mother.

- I trust you to do the right thing, my son.

The King's health worsened. He was barely conscious, and nobody knew what to do. A healer was on his way, but it was unclear what he could do.

- Boy, I am dying. Please don't leave me. I don't want to die alone.

- I'm sure you will feel better soon Sire!

- I doubt it. The pain is unbearable, and increasing.

- I will be here Sire. Let me know if I can do anything.

- Just talk with me. It will help me focusing on something else.

- Yes Sire, of course.

- Are you afraid of me, Nashuja?

- Not afraid Sire, but I do respect you of course.

- Good, good. You know, your mother was afraid of me. I didn't treat her well, you know. She was very beautiful. Did she tell you about me?

- No Sire, never. But I didn't live with her. I grew up with my uncle and aunt. She got married and left when I was just a baby

- Her husband is a dick.

- Excuse me Sire?

- Sire? Are you all right Sire? SIRE?

- Get Captain Trypitis here, I want to talk with him. Hurry.

The King's voice was weak.

- My King, I'm here. What can I do for You?

- Efshe..

- What?

- I have a wish. Come closer...

The king whispered his message to the Captain.

- Of course Sire. Consider it done.

- Thank you, friend.

After this, the King did not open his eyes again.

Since Nashuja wasn't capable of fighting, he was put in charge of organizing the camp, and help out with the cooking. Surprisingly he found himself enjoying those tasks, and he had, without paying attention to it, picked up a thing or two from his mother Simadhne.

The camp was now more permanent, since the battle itself took a longer time than intended. King Ifiklis' men fought heroically, but made only small progress in the war. It was a standstill.

And as in any war, there were losses and injuries.

The most serious injury, not directly connected with the battles, involved the King himself and his beloved horse Kappa.

It was a hard fall. But then he got up, shook his head and seemed normal.

After a few hours it was obvious that he might not be okay after all. Some really ugly bruises started to show, and he was feeling nauseous, cold and dizzy.

Nashuja helped him to his bed rest and kept him company. He was careful not to mention a word about their personal relationship. They talked about horses, Nashuja's wrestling, favorite food, the political situation. It was quite relaxed.

However, even after resting, King Ifiklis didn't seem to get better.

In the shadows of the old temple, the King, the Prince and the Captain had gathered to discuss strategy for the next days.

- ... so I think we should use him on the left flank, Heraklis argued.

- The boy is physically very strong, do you really think that's the best position for him? King Ifiklis was not convinced. I mean, wouldn't it be wiser to use someone with more speed in that place?

- He is fast enough. Heraklis wasn't ready to give in.

- He is one of our best men, and the flank is risky. It would be a petty to loose him. What do you think Kleomeni?

- Although the Prince is usually right in his strategies, I'm not sure about this one. It seems very risky to me.

- Well, like you say, my brother is usually right in these matters. It's not what I would have chosen, but I'm trusting my brother's expertise.

The next day the fights started again, and Nashuja was keeping the left flank.

It became the most bloody battle so far. Things were not going well for the Manthos men.

Pamesijos had his hands full keeping the enemy at bay.

The officers were not thrilled about the development. There were many reasons for concern.

But for Nashuja it was about to become fateful.

Unfortunately Eira would later have to eat those words, and she did deeply regret challenging the Gods like that.

- Dear Astanna, she pleaded, Mother of all, please forgive me for my shortcomings and lack of respect. And please help my sister's family and spare them from the misfortune they are about to face.

It was Itaja, with his connections in the political and legal system of Manthos, who had to bring the news to Noor, when she came to visit her oldest children.

- Noor, I have to tell you that Telamon was taken into custody last night. They had caught him stealing at the Agora.

- What? That can't be!

- Unfortunately it is true Noor. They say he will be beheaded for theft next week. I'm so sorry!

- But uncle, there must be something we can do! Noor felt her blood freezing to ice.

- I don't think there is, honey. The merchant wants to set an example. I don't think he can be convinced otherwise. Unless of course if it was directly on the King's order.

Noor swallowed.

- I don't know if I can beseech King Ifiklis to help me, uncle. Not that I think he would even consider listening to my appeal.

- The King is very capricious and unpredictable, yes. But if you wish to go to the palace, I will help you. He will have to listen to us, but his decition might not be in our favor. It's up to you, dear.

- Thank you uncle. I will think about it and let you know.

There were few people in the world that knew how much it would cost Noor to even go to the palace, not to mention the ephialtes it would be for her to speak to King Ifiklis, for any reason at all. Nevertheless, she decided to do just that.

There simply was no way around it, if she was to save Telamon's life. To say that it costed her a lot would be an understatement. It was a relief when she could kneel in front of the throne, because she felt that she would faint if she had to stand up straight.

- So what brings you here Kyrie?, the King addressed Itaja.

- I'm here with my niece to plead for her husband Telamon's life, Itaja said, He has admitted to theft, and the merchant wants him beheaded.

- And why should I rule differently?

- He deeply regrets his wrongdoings, Sir, and promises to pay for any losses the merchant had. Also Sir, he and my niece have five children who depend on his support.

- Hmm. And you can guarantee that he will be righteous for the future? This is a serious crime after all.

- I will guarantee it, Noor said.

- And how are you going to make sure he will keep such a promise, Kyria mou?

- Because if he isn't, I will kill him myself, Noor whispered.

- Haha! The King found that amusing. Nevertheless, I can't really see any reason why I should spare his life.

- Please Sir! Have mercy on his children, if not for him or myself, Noor cried.

- Do I know you from somewhere, Kyria? What is your name?

- My name is Noor Sharruma Asijaka. Please Sir, I'm begging you.

The King looked at her without batting an eyelid.

- What do you think my son, he suddenly said. Should we give mercy to this woman? What do you think would be a fitting punishment for her husband, Prince Mijararo?

- Maybe exilement father? the young prince said.

- A very good idea, son! And so it will be.

- I hereby conclude that this woman's husband will live in exile for a minimum of ten winters, and to pay the merchant three times the value of what he stole. Will that be satisfactory for you Kyria Noor?

- Yes Sir, thank you Sir.

- How are you dear? Itaja asked after they left the throne room.

- I don't know, uncle Itaja. My head is spinning. That was one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. But at least we saved Telamon's life.

- So we did my heart, so we did. He ow you a lot that man, that's for sure.

- Do you think I will be able to talk to him before he leaves?

- It's not possible to pass the guards at the desmoterion usually, but I know some of them personally, so we can try. But are you sure you want to go there? It's not a nice place.

- I' would rather go there than to the palace, so yes, I'm sure.

- Kalispera Kyrie Makropolitis, it's a quiet evening I hope?

- Kalispera. What are you doing here Kyrie Sharruma?

- I want to ask you a favour, I want to visit one of the arrestees; Kyrie Asijakas.

- You know I can't let you do that.

- It's just his wife...

- His wife?! You brought a woman here?

- I take full responsibility of course. She is my niece. Please let us have a few words with him. I will give you my hand, nothing will happen.

- All right then. But keep it short.

---

- I didn't know a handshake could be that convincing, Noor commented as they went in to the desmoterion.

- It is when it contains a silver coin, Itaja said aridly.

- Mother, it might not be such a bad idea, Prince Heraklis whispered.

- You can’t mean that, Herakli! I want to slow down your brother’s libido, not kill him!

- I know mother, but this way he can get some real experience, it will do him good, and he don’t have to fight in the battles directly, he can just lead from a distance. And he will come back as a hero.

- Is it something you believe your brother would consider doing voluntarily? The Queen asked, after some thought.

- Yes, I believe so. Ifiklis is well aware that he is not very popular amongst the public, and the limitations that poses to the way he can rule. A chance to be perceived like a hero, I think he would grab it with both hands.

- Then you talk with him Herakli. Preferably in a way that makes him believe it is his own idea. If he leaves, it will buy us some time. If he stays, we will implement the law at the next esembly.

Prince Heraklis didn’t waste any time, and brought up the issue as soon as King Ifiklis was back from his visit to the soldier camp. He had brought Captain Tryptis with him to underline the military facts.

- ... and the army will need some real leadership, he emphasized while counting the swords in the armory, and it would be a true heroic action for Manthos and our future!

- I was thinking to volunteer myself, Heraklis said, I mean, the thought of returning like a true war hero is very alluring. But then I thought I would have to ask you first, just in case you wanted to take charge yourself. I mean, you are the King after all and I wouldn’t stand in your way.

- Hmm. Good thinking. I actually think that I, as the King, should do that. I also have more experience than you, so it is evident really. It will be hard convincing mother and Memilia but...

- I will help you with mother, if you convince your wife.

- Thank you for your support, brother!

A few days later the big buzz at the Agora was that the King himself would go to lead the troops in new battles.

- That was a solution I didn’t see coming, Simadhne said. Can you imagine! Sending your own son to a war...!

- Maybe she felt that she didn’t have a choice? Kyria Figaleía asked rhetorically. It would seem easier just to implement a law, but I don’t know. I can’t figure out how these people think, to be honest.

- What worries me, Sapfo said, is that this doesn’t solve anything for the future. One day he will be back.

- I for my part hope he never comes back. I’m sorry, but that’s honestly how I feel. Noor said with intensity. And now excuse me kyries, I’m going to have a chat with sister, whom I never see anymore.

- Noor, my dear! It’s so good to see you!

- Finally! It’s been too long! I hope you have time for a long chat, because I have so much to tell you!

- Actually I don’t. I’m so sorry! Teterius needs this text by tomorrow you see, and my mother in law is not well, and I just have too much to do! We will catch up later I promise!

After King Radhamanthos‘ death there had been hectic activity at the palace. There were many formalities to be taken care of.

Initially Queen Alkmini was not too pleased with the fact that many of her responsibilities were now taken away from her and given to King Ifiklis and his wife, Queen Memilia. For many years, and especially after King Radhamanthos had become quite old and tired, she had been the de facto head of Manthos.

- I would prefer to hand over the responsibility for those boring political discussions to you mother, King Ifiklis said. After all, you have the experience, and I prefer to spend my time with soldiers, not politicians.

- I would be happy to assist, Queen Alkmini answered.

- A very good idea, Captain Tryptis nodded. Formally we will make you the King’s Regent, to give you the power you need.

However, she had not counted on Queen Memilia's immense ambitions.

- Why should your mother be bothered with all this time consuming politics? Isn’t it better that you, who have such great plans for the future of Manthos and it’s people, take control over that part? And I will assist you of course. Besides, until we have a son, the regent should be your brother, not a woman. Let your mother run the household of the palace, as would be more fitting for her.

- What plans are you talking about? I don’t really have any plans ...

- But we’ve been talking about this Ifikli! You need to show people you are in charge! You want victory over our enemies right? We need more men and funds for the war, and you will have to raise the taxes to make it happen. If the public don’t respect you, it will become very hard to implement!

Queen Alkmini was surprised and annoyed with the new arrangement Ifiklis wanted to introduce.

- Son, you don’t know what you are getting in to! Without my network how are you and your little foreign wife handle the complicated politics of Manthos? You know very well your brother is much too young for this task. I think you will sincerely regret this.

- Herakli, your brother and his foolish wife wants to make you the regent.

- Me? But, but ... I have no idea how to be a regent!

- I trust you will listen carefully to my advice my son. You will accept the task, and then do exactly what I tell you. If this doesn’t go well, the consequences could be very serious for our country and for our family. We could be heading for a disaster.

- What should I do, mother?

- First of all you don’t do anything without checking with me. Manthos’ future is the most important thing, and that terrible woman has a bad influence over your brother, and I really don’t trust her. I told your father that marriage was a terrible mistake. But, until we find a more permanent solution, we will just have to play along.

The kordax started quite slowly.

...

But then intensified.

- She is very good isn’t she, the Prince whispered.

- She is not a bad dancer, the King replied. And very pretty. Thread carefully son. I don’t want any new ... episodes.

- Of course not father.

...

- Bravo! Noor received well-deserved applause.

- Thank you, that was very entertaining. I hope everybody have been treating you respectfully during your stay here?

- Yes Kyrie.

- Bring my regards to your uncle when you go home tomorrow. He can be very proud of you.

The same thing repeated every night. The prince came to watch the practice.

Followed by the nightly visits, that made her feel very uncomfortable, but seemed unavoidable.

Finally the day had come. The King was sitting on the throne, and the whole Royal family and prominent guests from the area expected to be entertained.

Noor had been dressed up in expensive garments and precious jewelry, but didn’t feel any enjoyment.

- God, I hate this, all these people staring like I was some kind of exotic animal. It’s derogatory. Thank Astanna this is the end of it. Now I just have to do my best so I can go home tomorrow with honor.

- My son tells me you are a very good dancer despoinís?

- Yeah right! Princess Laonome whispered to her brother Heraklis. Like THAT’s the reason why she is here.

- Shhh Laonome! Besides, don’t you allow your brother to have a little fun? She wont last.

- I know, but he has now shame! Bringing his floozies here, in front of the King and everything.

- So what are you going to perform for us?

- A Kórdax Kyrie.

- Very good. I always enjoyed a good belly dance. Go ahead.

The King's death was unexpected, even with a war going on. The body was to be taken back to the palace, but the men were allowed to give their respects first.

- The King instructed me to convey his gratitude to you, Captain Trypitis told Nashuja. He wanted me to give you some of his valuable stones, his horse Kappa and his sword.

- To me? His horse? The same horse that killed him? What am I going to do with that beast? It's a curse, not a gift, I don't know anything about horses!

- Well it is yours now. It was the King's wish. For your travels, he said And he really loved that horse, even if it killed him I believe he wanted someone to take care of it.

- My travels? Oh. Yes, that makes sense. Okay, I will try my best to honor his wishes. I will take care of the horse. As best I can.

In the beginning Nashuja was intimidated by the size and appearance of Kappa. He was cautious and patient, and made sure to have carrots or apples whenever he approached her.

After some weeks, there was certainly more trust between them.

The war continued, and Nashuja was again fit for fight. The men in general were not as motivated as they had been. The war-weariness probably had to do with the lack of progress. Victory seemed impossible.

Then, about three months after King Ifiklis death, they received the message from the regent; Prince Heraklis. He had made a deal with the enemy. The conditions were harsh, but peace was finally reached. The agreement was formally approved by the new king; the very young King Mijararos I. He was now formally the head of Manthos, but since he was just a child it was of course his uncle who had the real power and authority in the kingdom.

It was a very special day wen the soldiers marched home to Manthos. They weren't overly excited about the agreement Prince Heraklis had made, they felt that he had sold them short. There were rumors that he had betrayed them, his own people. They said he probably was on the enemy's side from the beginning, a renegade. Some even said that the former King had found out about it and confronted him, and that Prince Heraklis then killed his own brother because of it.

The citizens of Manthos were however ecstatic that war was over and that their boys were coming home.

The fight was hard, and Alkides, Nashuja's opponent, was no push-over.

Nashuja's supporters held their breath...

... but once again Nashuja turned the game to his advantage - and was announced as winner!

- Hooray for Nashuja Sharruma!!

- A great match, King Ifiklis stated. Many congratulations! Did I see you before? You seem kind of familiar?

- No Sire, this was my first match.

- Sharruma, you say. So you are the son of...?

- Itaja Sharruma Sire. Itaja and Simadhne Sharruma.

- I see. Well it was a pleasure to meeting you, Nashuja Sharruma. I hope to see you again soon. A great match, like I said.

- Thank you Sire!

- Sharruma… it really is something familiar with that name, but I can't recall... Prince Heraklis mumbled.

- I don't think I've heard it? Princess Konchylia said.

- No, it was probably before your time. Maybe a really long time ago. Oh holy Dias! I think I know who he is, he then whispered, flabbergasted with his own discovery.

- Well? Who is that boy, Herakli?

- I'm not sure, but if my theories are correct... I must discuss it with mother first, then you will be next to know, I promise you.

- I'm happy you are so excited dear.

- Excited may not be the right word, shocked might be closer to the truth. I don't see how we could have missed this.
