Today was a
GREAT day to be a Spartan and a truly
TERRIBLE day for all Heroes.. Our brave warriors fought hard, they fought well but alas twas not enough to repel those fine warriors. Our slaves in the lost cities will now have to toil all hours in the fields and in the mines, there will be no more dancing around the maypole, making of garlands and hugging of trees for these poor wretches. My heart is heavy in this knowledge and the memory of the fallen will haunt me for the rest of my days.
I myself was in the thick of the fighting, it was awful, just terrible. The sound of spear and shield clashing, the blood, the dismemberment of men, women and children. Worst of all were the screams and the cries for help (that was me). I'd only gone to the market to buy wine and I suddenly found myself surrounded by fearsome, vengeful warriors, I had no choice but to run to the harbour as fast as I could and get the last fast transport out of there.
So a great victory for Sparta today, I congratulate you on this but most of all I congratulate myself on once again saving my own cowardly hide. Now I must go. My incontinence pants need changing as it's been a long sail and I had no time to change them before I boarded this fine vessel so for now 'Bon Voyage'
