This time Praxis is a real King . By his courage and intelligence , reputation and perseverance . He will soon amass an army GR8 enough to acheive vengeance and victory .
Wish you wrote about how Nicomedes was mortally wounded. In your stories, too many of the shock deaths happen off-screen. Did he make a courageous stand? His life and/or death should have more impact on the story.
@Anonymous - The first retreating soldier Praxis met after linking up with the Messenian Army said Nicomedes went headlong against a group of Spartans when the line started to break. We can infer he was drawing on the fire he passed to Praxis one more time and wanting to erase the shame he still felt for running away from his family in Argos all those years ago: He wasn't going to run anymore.
This is where you take what's given in the story and fill in the blanks.
