Setting Of Iliad Novels & Stories

I got up, standing like a little kitten in the middle of two lions. The tension was rising in the air and before I could witness two hungry animals trying to rip each other’s throat off, I spoke, “Let’s not get into a quarrel just yet.” I motioned them to settle down and so they did, glaring, ready to attack at any chance they get.

*Never judge a friend by what they give, but of how much of themselves they give* *Editing magic performed by KJ24 and Shyqash, plus contributions by the regular gang of brigands and neer-do-wells* *There is a bit of mangling of the Iliad going on.

Ilyria’s heart sank. The city was the same as she had left it, maybe worse. And now she had no plan at all.
