Written for the
wk_100 "Historical AU" challenge, here's two members of Schwarz in bygone times:
Gift of the Gods
Krafortes watched the town receding across the waves and sighed, disgruntled. It had been the perfect settling place - big enough to be truly civilised, not so big they caught the attention of the powerful or the high temples. At an echoing sigh he glanced sideways into Opheilô's pout.
"A little more warning on the 'packing and fleeing' would have been nice," the barbarian grumbled.
"Apollo speaks as it pleases him. Though I shall relay your dissatisfaction," Krafortes replied dryly.
Opheilô shrugged, uncaring of any implied blasphemy. They both turned back to watch the black gouts of smoke rising from Vesuvius.
Author's Notes: As close as I could get to their names in ancient Greek - Opheilô means guilty and Krafortes is just plain ole made up.
