He would take him outside to the palace gardens, in the Pharoah was sat on a chair by a pool of water, watching the birds within it.

"Good morning Tyros. I hope you found your lodgings welcoming."

It would be at somepoint in the early morning the servant arrived, unfortunately he couldn't speak any Greek. However, a simple meal had been prepared, a mix of fruits, a small amount of meat, and a flat bread.

Once that was finished, the servant made some kind of signal that the he wanted the >

With that much settled, the Pharaoh returned to the throne, and off they seemingly went. The throne carried by a few dozen servants, stopping in various towns along the way. If it wasn't clear to Tyros before now, it's on clear display he is seen as a god amongst these people.

either could be true or both.

Regardless, there wasn't much left here for the Pharaoh to see, but he wasn't about to leave him here.

"For all of their claims of military might, often news of their commanders cowardice reaches us,"

The part that none could entirely get their head around was just where exactly he came from. A lot of dead at his hand was unique and raised questions, but this man wasn't from here, or was delusional>

"Tyros, you are aware that your actions here may bring some, if not all of Mino's cities into this war, or war with each other."

Questions seemed to be raised by the priest and the servant >

The note was taken, and translated aloud for all to hear, there was the odd noise of discomfort from some of the guards, and something was said by the captain.

The monarch's gaze turned to the bodies, then back to him,

As this was translated back, the meek looking priest began to speak, in some degree of protest to the idea. The Pharaoh on the other hand briefly looked up towards the sun in the sky, he then finally spoke which seemed to cause an easy silence to fall amongst everyone.

"You somehow went from Minos to here to fight the invaders, and you are unaware of the sands that you stand in?"

There was a pause as the servant looked back at the unspeaking leader.

"You stand within the Divinely Protected Lands of the Golden Pharaoh,"
June 29, 2025 at 9:08 PM
As the other bowed down, the ruler on the throne looked down, inspecting but continued to remain silent. The servant appeared to translate his question to him in their tongue, Egyptian sounding, but not entirely the same.

"Step forward and pay respects to his grace," states the servant.

Of all the battle reports to reach the Pharaoh, one of hoplite from the Minos city states carving through numerous soldiers of the invading empire was... Unique. That was before his men got there.

So, against some degree of caution from his advisors, he'd travel to the front.
