**King Agamemnon's POV:**
How dare he! How dare all of you who have brought dishonor to my name...
**King Agamemnon:** Argos!...
You think I'm afraid of you, Argos? So what if your a Warlock who lived for over 100 years?
That still won't stop me from wreaking havoc upon your beloved kingdom, Dardania...
**Flashback:**
**King Odysseus:** Ahhh... Agamemnon, I'm delighted to see you...
**King Agamemnon:** So what has your patron goddess, Athena, planned for tomorrow, Odysseus?
**King Odysseus:** You see, Agamemnon? None of this would be possible without Athena...
**King Agamemnon:** And what is it you want to tell me about this?
**King Odysseus:** We can't set the plan in motion unless Nicko participates...
**King Agamemnon:** Enough with the riddles! Speak plainly, Odysseus...
**King Odysseus:** Nicko will only participate if you promise to leave the city of Dardania untouched.
**King Agamemnon:** ...
**King Odysseus:** Agamemnon? We need to settle this quickly; otherwise, the war will drag on...
**King Agamemnon:** Then tell him he must participate, Odysseus. I'm no longer a threat to Dardania.
**King Odysseus:** Great, then—I know you will comply with my request...
**King Agamemnon:** For now...
**End of Flashback:**
**King Agamemnon:** Destroy everything! Leave no survivors—except for the princess, who is mine...

**Princess Gema's POV:**
Mycenae: Princess, the palace is in great danger!
Mycenae burst into my bedroom, alarming me about the Greeks' attack in Dardania. He then pulled me to safety, but then I remembered...
**Gema:** Wait! Where's Father?
**Mycenae:** The King ordered me to prioritize your safety, Princess...
As Mycenae and I ran to safety, King Agamemnon blocked our way out of the city...
**King Agamemnon:** Hello, my wife...
**Gema:** Huh?...
We were surprised by the sudden appearance of King Agamemnon. Still, all my servants had vowed to the King that my life was worth more than theirs...
**Mycenae:** Get away from the princess, you fiend!...
Mycenae tried to defend me, but, unfortunately for him, King Agamemnon seized him by the neck, strangling him.
**Gema:** No! Don't kill him!
I pleaded, and he complied, dropping Mycenae. However, he then attempted to grab me...
A silver arrow shot out of nowhere, embedding itself in King Agamemnon's hand against the wall...
Though furious at what had happened, he still sought a way to take me with him...
He then forcefully commanded Mycenae to bring me with him back to his kingdom...
Mycenae refused, but I begged for his cooperation, fearing King Agamemnon would slay him.
I wondered—where did that silver arrow come from?
Leaving the city against my will has made me stronger for the new chapter of my life that I am about to tackle...
As I watch my city burn to ruins, King Agamemnon has taken me back to his city of Argos.
**King Agamemnon:** "Let's see, Argos—who will have the last laugh?"
**Argos...?**
**Mychean:** "He has been cursing the name Argos for a while now, Princess..."
**Gema:** "Do you know this person he speaks of, Argos?"
**Mychean:** "No..."
**Cassandra:** "He is a Greek warrior, the first king of the city that Agamemnon now rules."
**Gema:** "And why is he so angry at this Greek warrior you speak of?"
**Cassandra:** "I don’t know for sure. All we know is that he is truly furious at this Argos."
Soon, we safely arrive at the city of Argos. King Agamemnon immediately commanded his men to burn all scriptures related to the city's founder, Argos.
Some scriptures were replaced with tales of monsters, and some of Argos' inscriptions were substituted with those of another Greek warrior.
**King Agamemnon:** "Replace the name Argos in every script that refers to the one Achaean who abandoned us and brought the Trojan horse, leading the Greeks to victory. Replace it all with Sinon, which means 'traitor.'"
He also announced plans to slay the monster he speaks of, Argos, promising a lifetime achievement to anyone who could accomplish this. Warriors and heroes across Greece began searching for him, eager to murder the Argos King Agamemnon often mentioned...
He was so consumed with erasing this Greek hero, Argos, that he prioritized this over celebrating the Greeks' victory at Troy...
King Agamemnon was even planning to change the name of his kingdom. He approached us and asked...
**King Agamemnon:** "You there! The princess' slave, tell me, what is your name?"
**Mycenae:** "Mycenae..."
**King Agamemnon:** "I like the sound of that..."
He soon left us, locked in a room in his hilltop castle, probably busy declaring that his city would be renamed Mycenae...
Is he serious about replacing the name of his kingdom?
And who is this Argos he speaks of...?
**Mycenae:** "Princess, do you think he is serious about replacing the name of the city with mine?"
**Gema:** "I think so. What does your name, Mycenae, mean?"
**Mycenae:** "It's a foreign name that means 'mushroom,' princess..."
**Gema:** "Oh...?"
Tired from the long journey to a different country, I fell asleep from exhaustion on Mycenae's shoulder...
A few hours later, Mychean woke me, saying Nicko was here to rescue us...
What? Did I hear correctly? Is Nicko really here to save us?
Is Nicko alive...?
We escaped the castle of King Agamemnon through the palace balcony, but as we reached the lush green grass of the hill, his soldiers spotted our plan and soon began to chase after us...
