Thankful that it was now her turn to sleep, Delilah went back into her tent. Arwa was still asleep, but as Delilah laid down to sleep, Arwa whispered, "Is it my turn to do watch?"
"No, Arwa." smiled Delilah, shutting her eyes with no effort needed. "You should be asleep."
"So should you, mum." Arwa said as he sleepily crawled towards Delilah's side.

Sage smiled quietly when she heard her nephew's question and telling Delilah she needed to sleep. Arwa was very adorable and he learned much quicker than a lot of human children did.

Markus slept like a rock, not moving or making any noise at all. It might have been creepy to Arwa because he was so still and quiet.

Flicker woke up, feeling as if something wasn't right. Noticing Sage outside on watch duty, she came outside to join her, hoping it would help her feel better.

Sage glanced up at Flicker and smiled slightly. " Couldn't sleep?" She asked quietly so as not to wake any of their friends up.

He leaned against a tree, and cried out in pain as the wound on his shoulder throbbed painfully. His "vision" was blurry, and he couldn't sense things properly.
He had left the camp days ago, after receiving a message from the King, ordering him back to Troy for another attack. With Achillies dead, Odysseus suggest the idea for a wooden horse, with which to enter the city.
All was going according to plan, and the horse was brought into the city...
And that is when disaster struck.
Suddenly, Kidemonas "vision" blacked out, and he began to see images of tall buildings and flashing lights. he saw other people around him, and a man in a white coat telling them that they were going to be the saviors of the world. Then he was back in his body, and he heard the creek of the wheels as the horse stopped. Odysseus told them all to rest, and that the attack would commence that night.
Soon, Kidemonas was asleep, and the visions came back.
He was in a machine, and it was rocking back and forth violently he felt like all the air was being sucked out of him, and then his companions all disappeared, leaving him alone in the machine. Then with a loud POP he was falling out of the sky, and landing hard on the ground...
Kidemonas woke to the smell of smoke. he opened the hole at the bottom of the horse, and smoke billowed onto his face. the blasted horse was on fire!
The plan had gone wrong, and now they were trapped in the horse. He could hear the Trojans laughing outside. Kidemonas woke the others, and they began pouring any liquid they had down the hole, trying to sooth the flames enough to escape from the horse. Finally a few men got out, but were instantly killed by the waiting Trojans.
Kidemonas was sent out next, and he used his powers to slay as many Trojans as he could. Once the others were out they began to help. But the party was soon overrun by Trojans, and they were forced to retreat. They reached the gates, and opened them, expecting the Greek army to rush into the city...
But no one was there...
Odysseus shouted then, and said there was fire coming from the direction of the waiting Greek fleet!
They rushed over to a cliff, and found what was left of the fleet...
The Greeks had been routed, and the war was over. The party rescued who they could, and buried who they could find, and then went their separate ways...
And these events led Kidemonas right into the camp of those few he had rescued. He stumbled over a rock and, not having the strength to catch himself, fell onto his chest not far from the camp sentry.
(attempted a butterfly effect here, tell me if you like it)

Arwa mumbled in his sleep, "No I'm not half tasty..."
Then opening his eyes minutes after a half-remembered dream about strange creatures more graceful looking than cows and had hair on their heads like the hair on his head, he sleepily shuffled to the fireside, rubbing an eye with a clenched fist.
"Can I have a drink please?" he quietly yawned, looking slightly uneasy on his tiny hooves.

"Yeah," Flicker muttered, in answer to Sage. "It's just that, well...I don't know about you, but I'm getting the feeling something big is about to happen. Or you know, maybe that's just me being paranoid."

Having seen the events unfold in Troy from above, Hermes sped with urgency to Mount Olympus.
"The Trojans have routed the Greeks!" he shouted in a loud voice, not caring to look where he was flying and flew straight into Athena, who had come to find out what the noise was all about.

((Guys, I thought the plot here was taking place at the begining of the war, when Ares was helping the Greeks...what we have so far with Ares helping the Myceneans earlier doesn't fit that, since Ares was helping the Trojans near the end of the war. Arkon, do you mind editing your butterfly effect a bit there, so that it makes more sense?))

Sage nodded her head at Flicker. " Yeah I do feel like something is off and about to happen." She glanced over when she heard Arwa. " Yes Arwa honey then you go right on back to bed." She handed her nephew a cup of water.

"Thank-you Aunty Sage." Arwa said as he drank from the cup. He passed the empty cup back to Sage when he was done and toddled off to bed again. This time when he slept, Arwa dreamt of all the things he had seen and done that day.

Sage smiled as she watched Arwa toddle back to his spot near Delilah. Her nephew was cute she'd give him that but she couldn't help but wonder what might happen once they were able to collect the other heroes and get back to their time.

"Hey Sage...you think we'll be able to bring that kid back with us? He's kinda cute and all, but would he be able to adjust? I'm not to sure..." Flicker frowned, and thought on the subject for a bit. "I wonder if I can bring my sheep back with me..."
