The 'incidents', part 1:

(Tw: intense harrasing, scar, and violence)

ᯓ★

It was a normal day—The sun above, bright and burning over the people below it.

There were suitors in the yard—training and challenging each other. Not far away there were guards supervising them, other suitors who preferred to watch than train—And some servants even.

A good distance away was the garden, where Mitsuki was in charge of harvesting and taking plants to the infirmary

Mitsuki had a sickle in one hand, and with the other she put the herbs and plants in one of the baskets she had—occasionally wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Mitsuki was dying from the heat of the sun, she felt her body burn due to being in the sun, and having a garment over her chiton didn't help much.

"Oh, gods' heavens—!"

Mitsuki complained—moving the garment over her shoulder, leaving her back uncovered, her chiton revealed the back as well, she couldn't leave it on the floor for fear of getting it dirty.

Her back wasn't the only thing Mitsuki revealed to the sun, but also her long scar, which started from the back of her neck to her lower back.

Mitsuki felt someone's eyes watching her while she continued to do her thing, Mitsuki turned around, but she didn't see anyone, not even her surroundings.

Mitsuki tried to ignore that feeling—she didn't even feel when someone came at her from behind.

Mitsuki felt a hand on her back, especially on her scar.

Mitsuki tensed.

"Well, look that..."

Mitsuki heard the whisper of a familiar male voice, Mitsuki recognized it almost immediately.

Paralus—One of the most disgusting suitors Mitsuki has ever met.

Mitsuki didn't speak, she didn't even move, she stood there, with Paralus's cold hand on her back—on her scar. Still tense.

Mitsuki drops the sickle.

"Oh? You're tense.. Are you? I like that.."

Paralus whispered, Mitsuki felt Paralus' breath on the back of her neck.

So it was him...

It was he who followed her through the corridors of the palace.

It was he who made her feel watched all the time.

"I love when you are like this."

Paralus whispered again—referring to Mitsuki's quiet and 'shy' attitude. He had chosen her because she looked soft and sweet.

His worst mistake was to lower his hand through her scar to her lower back.

Mitsuki couldn't handle it anymore.

"YOU DISGUSTING SON OF A BI—"

Mitsuki turned, lunging at Paralus, her hands wrapped around the suitor's neck, with a strength no one knew she had.

Both fell to the ground, full of plants and herbs.

Once on the ground, Mitsuki began to hit him in the face with a bare fist, causing him to bleed on the second blow.

Mitsuki was not silent, at all, therefore, it drew attention to the suitors, guards and maids. Everyone approached with quick curiosity to find Mitsuki punching Paralus on the ground.

Everyone was surprised, that someone soft like Mitsuki would do this.

Two guards, Alkimos and Xandria, led Mitsuki away from Paralus—while she remained blinded by anger. Mitsuki tried to struggle but it was useless

"DON'T DARE TO TOUCH ME AGAIN—!"

Mitsuki shouted to Paralus, there—everyone understood.

Everyone started whispering and muttering—obviously, the gentle and sweet Mitsuki would never react like that without good reason.

They all looked at Paralus with disgust and fear.

"I'll take care of him, take Mitsuki somewhere else."

Alkimos told Xandria, Xandria carefully took Mitsuki to a room to calm her down, while Alkimos was heading towards Paralus to drag him away.

"Thank Gods, someone take care of him, he needed a lesson, don't you think old man?"

A certain blonde suitor said with mocking and disgust.

The older suitor said nothing, just staring at Paralus in disgust.

"..."

Another blond suitor stared at the scene, as screams and the situation flashed through his mind over and over again.

He wasn't fast enough?..

(Elpenor Anon)

So we established I use animals to base designs off of,

Like,

Elpenor: Moth

Lycaon: Wolf

Antilochus: True bug

Alkimos: Bear

Polites: Sheep

Vlassis: Snake

Perimedes: Parrot

Eurylochus: Ram,

but I really need an animal to base Amphidamas and Amphialos on, besides frogs.

Do you have any suggestions?

I absolutely love the animal motifs with all the characters!

Ok but why can’t one of them be a frog? I think the yellow banded poisoned dart frog goes SO hard

I don’t know much about them, but I’m sure one of them fits the vibe!

But maybe for the other, you could do another type of bird! Something like a blue jay or a mocking bird

Epithets: Alkimos

Alkimos:

As a name Alkimos has been found throughout the Greek world, and suggests that so-named persons are strong and valiant. There was also a writer named Alkimos in Sicily, whose writings have been lost in time. Another Alkimos was from Epeiros, an officer in the siege of Rhodes who died on a risky night-time attack.

Alkimos was a hero of Sparta. His shrine was established near a colonnade, alongside shrines to other heroes (Enaraiphoros, Dorkeus, and Sebros.) These shrines are also near that of the Heroine, Kyniska, a princess of Sparta who raised horses and won the chariot races at Olympia. In the Iliad, one of Achilles’ squires was named Alkimos, who served as a charioteer, and who is also known as an Attendant of Ares.

As a descriptor, alkimos is generally associated with a particularly military sort of strength, at least in the Iliad. It is an epithet that is often applied to Patroklos in Homer’s tale of Troy. It is associated, and derived from the word, alke, which implies a defensive strength.

The LSJ demonstrates the wide-spread use of the word alkimos, and translates it as ‘stout, brave,’ and ‘fortifying,’ and ‘giving succor.’

In Late Antiquity, we find Alkimos applied to Hekate in PGM IV 2241-2358, amidst many other epithets and Names of various other Goddesses. Hekate is aptly described in strong terms, for She is a Titaness who stood against the Titans, slaying Clytos. She bades Her devotees to plumb depths of their own independence and strengths. Strength resides in Her spells and in Her Light, and I hope it fills you, whatever challenges you might be facing today.
