A small vessel arrived at the docks with a very delicate crew.
They walked proudly but respectfully to the center of the Cillician village. There a nasal sounding and foppish man did speak on behalf of his people who lived far to the west when brought before the Archon.
His words...

QUOTE:
Be praised, young mortal!

I, the son of Zeus Almighty and of beautiful Persephones,
I, the holder of the Eleusyn misteries and the guard of the secrets of the forests, the protector of Greece and the friend of all pure in their heart, salute you.

I come to bring you the friendship of the Hellenes and their wish for a long and happy relationship with you, now and everlasting. My worthy adorers hope you feel the same and together you two shall achieve many things in this world, for I, my heavenly father and your gods to be satisfied.

What say you, beautiful human?!

As the man finished speaking the Cillician Archon looked to his two Wisdoms and the other warriors who guarded his tribe and lands. Rising I spoke...in even and reasoned tones.

Well, I am impressed.

You come on behalf of the son of Gods. I suppose I would have been awed into agreeing if he had shown here himself. Thank him for being so considerate please. I wonder....but matters little as what is truth is YOU are here in my Kingdom. We know not your God's here except in news of the tradesmen.

Now to the heart of the matter. All treaties must have reason and purpose. Without that they are little more than wishes written on the wind. I did say as much to the Macedoni while I ruled Thrace, and was respected for it. We did strike terms of treaty and it was honorable.

Now I will consult my augurs on what you have offered and my fire readers. That is, unless you have more to say on behalf of your Archon , Your Gods and Your tribe. With what I hear now I do not expect the readings of the fickle Gods to be well read. Such as we know now is vague and so will the answers from spirits and Gods. This makes it VERY difficult to divine the answers clearly.

I rise to my feet and motion for a farmer to bring me a goat and to another to bring me 3 chickens and a rooster. Then I pause watching the Helllene delegation.
