This is my tail and I am yet to see how it all ends.... maybe one day I will.
I was born in Sparta the eldest child born to king Leonidas and his queen Gorgo. At first they didn't know what to make of me because I was not a boy,but when they held me in their arms they loved me on the spot and I loved them back.
From the age of 5 I loved to hold swords in my hands and play fight with the other boys. My father saw this and when I turned 10 he trained me in the ways of a Spartan warrior.
My mother didn't like it,but she knew that a queen never questions her king and so she accepted it the best way she could. We lived by the code that a death in battle is a good death.
At the age of 12 I was already the best fighter even among the men and no one could match my skills with the swords or the bow. My father was proud of me and so was my mother.
when my father took his 300 men to battle I wanted to help but he told me I had to stay and keep my mother safe in case they failed and so I did just that.
When news came that all the men including my father were killed,my mother,little brother and I morned his death but also respected him for it.
When the Athen warrior Themistokles came to ask Sparta to join him in the fight I begged my mother to accept but she wasn't going to loose any more than she already had and so she refused.
After a while I tried to convince her to help and in the end it worked. We joined the others in battle and together all of Greece defeted the Persian navy and watched them run from us like rats.
We had lost many in the battle but this was a good victory and eventually even the god king would get what is coming to him.
When I turned 30 Sparta was once again under attack and this time I led the battle for the first time. That was the battle that changed everything for me bcause on that night I was wounded defending our lands.
my mother never left my side and one night when she was asleep an old man came to me,he touched me gently and told me that he would give me a gift and heal me.
The next morning that is exactly what had happened and no one knew how,not even me. This worried me as I remembered what the old man had told me, but then I shook it off as just a dream.
When I trained with the men I started to relize that I couln't be hurt,everytime that a sword would damage me in any way I would heal on the spot as if nothig had been there before.
Eventually it came down to them all fearing me and I was forced to tell my mother what I saw. She then shook her head sadly and took me by the hand telling me that the old man had been Zeus and that he had given me the gift of immortality.
She said I should see it as a good thing and that it is strange because he doesn't always allow to interfere in the ways of men. When I heared this I nodded and told her that if I could not die in battle I was discrasing the code and so I must go.
She begged me not to leave but I told her I have no choice because sooner or later they would rise up against me and I would loose her and my little brother as well. She then nodded and we hugged and I did so with my brother as well touching his face gently and telling him he had to be the one to keep mother safe now and he nodded. that was the last time I ever set eyes on them both.
Over time I travelled the lands of Greece and one day I came to a temple of Zues and yelled for him to show himself. When he did I watched him and asked why he did this to me. He simply said because I showed myself to be a very skilled warrior and that I deserved to be blessed in such a way and then he was gone once more.
I have walked the world for centuries now fighting in any wars that I can and never dying or even having a scratch on me.
I have been called The Immortal Warrior and it is a nickname that I now embrace because they respect me once more under that name.
I have seen empires rise and fall and always been there when Greece needed me the most and now in your more modern world as your tecnology was advanced I fought in most of your known and unknown wars and never really picking a side unless I beleived it to be the right thing.
In your modern world I have decided to use my skills to become a hunter of the things that hide in the shadows, I only kill those who I am sure hurt others for no reason and if I see that they just want to live life I let them be.
I am what I must be and I have come to think that this is not a blessing but a curse.
