"Man, I am tired" Said Alfonso while sitting on his throne.
"Tell me about it, I had to walk all day while being stared literally by more than three hundred people, I am not an attraction you know, maybe I should start charging~" Said Demeter while she also sat beside Alfonso with an exhausted look on her eyes.
"Haha, maybe" Said Alfonso with a chuckle.
"You two really need more physical, especially you, Demeter, you are a goddess," Said Artemis.
"I am the goddess of agriculture~ I don't really need to move that much you know~" Protested Demeter.
"You can't really blame us, you are a hunter, you obviously have at least two times more physical than us" Added Alfonso.
"It's not mainly to put excuses Alfonso" Answered Artemis.
"Ho? I thought you hated "manly" things?" Said Alfonso with a playful smile.
Artemis blushed a little, however, her expression didn't change.
"Idiot" Said Artemis.
""Hehe"" Both Alfonso and Demeter laughed.
"My lord, you shouldn't make fun of master, the one who has to pay the broken plates later its me after all," Said a voice from behind Alfonso.
"Io? I didn't notice you, you are improving a lot" Said Alfonso.
"For my lord, I shall become stronger," Said Io.
"She has a long way to go, don't praise her too much" Said Artemis.
"Anyway, are they still on it?" Asked Alfonso.
"Yeah, after my lord left, the newcomers began a bonfire, they are still there, well, a lot complain that there wasn't any alcohol, but that's a small matter" Reported Io.
"I guess is kind of my fault there, after all, I should have, at the very least, prepare some alcohol, but… It just that I don't like Alcohol that much, so I tend to forget" Said Alfonso.

"Ho? You don't drink?" Asked Demeter.
"I do, but I prefer a cup of tea" Said Alfonso.
"That's a no-no, my lord, you need to be a heavy drinker to be a good lord, or at least, that was my dad used to tell me" A voice came from the corridor.
"Susana? How come you aren't at the party?" Asked Alfonso.
"It was funny at the start, however, I got bored, they asked stupid questions and wanted to dance with, they are blind or simply stupid, how could I dance when I can't even walk" Said Susana.
"How about the old man and the two young lads, I think their names were Tili and… Diego?" Said Alfonso.
"Dalton" Said Io.
"Oh yeah, those two, they seem to be scholars as well" Said Alfonso.
"Tili say that he was tired from the trip and went to sleep early, as for the old man, he was murmuring something about the metaphysic world, and I lost sight of him" Said Susana.
"What about Dario?" Asked Alfonso.
"Dalton" Repeated Io.
"Oh yeah, him"
"He came with me, he was at my side though, where is he?" Said Susana.
"I-I am here" Said Dalton while showing his head through the door.
"What are you doing there?" Said Alfonso.
"Well, I- I wanted to speak…no… to apologize with your highness about… my rude comment" Murmured Dalton.
"Don't worry, I don't take comments to heart, even if you call me the idiot prince, I wouldn't really mind, after all, a lot of people know me by that name" Said Alfonso.
"No, I wouldn't dare… not after seeing that" Said Dalton.
"That?" Asked Alfonso.
"You know, the way you discussed with my master, he has discussed with a lot of masters and scholars of different cities, however, more than a discussion, it was more like a one sided massacre, this is the first time that I saw someone make my master listen instead of making him talk" Said Dalton.

"Oh, that? Its nothing to be that impress really, in fact, I can tell you that I actually borrowed the premise from another person, I just added some of my thoughts on it" Said Alfonso frankly.
For him, academia was really important, and passing the thesis and ideas of another person as they were their own, was a huge taboo, it was despicable and a low act.
"Really!? How come I never heard about this master!?" Said Dalton.
"He is a low-profile person, however, I can tell you his name, he is called Aristoteles, someday, he will come once again, if you want to stay, I can present him to you" Said Alfonso.
"I-I, it would my honor to meet such a master!" Said Dalton.
"Good, then, do you have another business with me? I don't think that you came here just to apologize" Said Alfonso.
Dalton's face became red and he wanted to hide, however, Susana encouraged him, he took a small break and walked towards Alfonso and kneeled.
"My lord, I would like to assist the discussion that you have with Miss Susana, I think that it will expand my horizons and, more than anything, I wish to see what your thoughts about different topics are" Said Dalton with respectfulness.
Alfonso was surprised and looked at Susana.
"How come you talk with him about our usual discussions?" Asked Alfonso.
"I think that this kid has potential, and, more than anything, he has the heart to listen and learn, he is willing to apologise when he is wrong but stand firm about his ideas, It remains me a little bit of my lord, so I couldn't help myself" Said Susana.
"You have a good eye, I also think that he is a good seed, it only needs some water to shine, very well, Dante-"
"Dalton" Said Io.
"*cough* Dalton, you can come here in two days, ask for Susana and both of you can come to my office," Said Alfonso.
"I appreciate the kindness of my lord" Said Dalton.
"Good! Now that is settled, I think that we are all tired, let's go to sleep! Tomorrow would be a busy day" Said Alfonso.
Like that, the first day of the newcomers ended and Wasteland Valley became busier than ever.
However, Alfonso didn't know... that two troublemakers were about to come…

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
