Once Gene entered inside Athens walls he was so amazed by the structures, how people looked dressed, all the different smells that were completely different from where he was from. Well this is far from Tallimark that's for sure! Gene said to himself.
As he was walking through the city looking at all the different stores and places, he heard LOOK ITS HERCULES!!Gene turned his head and saw this big man with a horse with wings that could fly. Gene couldn't be more amazed by this horse with wings.
Gene walked up the Hercules and said Hercules? I've been looking for you, I've traveled a long way to come here to find you. Hercules didn't care! and told Gene to move out of his way. Gene then said please I need your help finding something I was sent to find. Hercules turned around and said I don't have time to be helping an out sider that's not from around here. Why should I help you. Gene replied I was sent by a person named Hogarth. Hercules stopped and said Hogarth. Gene said yes Hogarth, Hercules remember a man named Hogarth from when he was a boy the same man that helped his foster parent Amphitryon save his home.
Hercules reached his hand out to Gene and said come on talk with me.
While the two were walking, Gene explained to Hercules why we was there and what he was looking for. Hercules told Gene what your looking for is in my fathers Zeus's temple by mount Olympus.
I've seen the other piece of the map, it's located in a box under the tile in front of my fathers statue when entering his temple.
But before you just go and take the box it's best you talk to my father about it first,Hercules said.
Gene said I shall ask him for the removal of the box thank you. Hercules then added I'm only doing this, cause Hogarth sent you other then that you'd be out of luck there Gene
Gene looked at Hercules and told him
I like your horse and began walking away
Hercules replied by saying he's not a horse he's a Pegasus.
Gene thought to him self I'm going to ride that horse! If he likes it or not.
Then headed off to the temple of Zeus.
On the way to the temple, Gene stopped in the market place to look around at things.
While walking down the stairs to another part of the marked place, a man piped out of the shadows with a big rob coat and open it up asking wanna by a sun dial? At first Gene thought that man was trying to flash his goods at him. Thankfully it was only sun dials. Gene said no no I'm good I can read the sun don't need no sun dial but if you can point me to a place that sells hiking equipment. The weird man closed his coat, looked at Gene and walked around Gene then stopped right in front of him and said
Around the corner down the alley across the sitting area and up the stairs is the place your looking for!ask for Philoctetes. He'll have everything you need
When it comes to robes, hooks, swords and all that.
But don't be miss leaded by his small size he's a very cranky goat man. Gene said goat man? Yes the weird man said half human half goat but a small human goat man. Gene laughed and said okay well thank you I will go find this place to get what I need, thank you. Good luck with the sun dials. The weird man turn around and said I don't need luck don't have time for that. Gene shook his head and said I thought people were strange from where I was from but this place got some dying breed people here like wow.
Gene made his way to to speak with Philoctetes.
When Gene got to Philoctetes market booth, he saw the small goat man and went up and asked him if he had what he was looking for. Philoctetes said, I do hold on. Philoctetes yelled Achilles! I need a rope, a hook, a fish net and a travel bag.
Gene then asked so how is business for what you sell, Philoctetes?
He replied, well as of now okay since we just got back from my home island were I've been training Achilles to become a hero and I was training another guy named Kainoa who showed up out of no where on my island. Oh really! Your a trainer? Gene said.
How long have you've been training Achilles and Kainoa? Philoctetes replied with well Achilles a couple of months and Kainoa a month or go but he left about a week ago to go back to find his father, I guess. We just got back cause I was needing more supplies before we sailed back to my home island. Lucky you caught me while you did cause I'm the only one with what your looking for in all Athens.
Then Achilles came out from the back of the tent and handed Gene his supplies and said good luck on your adventures, there sir. Gene took his supplies and said,thank you! I'll be on my way now after paying Philoctetes for the supplies.
Now on to Zeus's temple Gene said.
