His father had gained some fame in a war and enough wealth to purchase a farm and take a foreign wife. Pallas’ mother was from Alpha and understandably the family were staunch supporters of the alliance between Alpha and Gamma, even as more and more called for an alliance with Beta. When foreign powers invaded, Pallas was old enough to stand in the phalanx. As a young man he was placed in the reinforcements sent to Beta to help secure the pass while the other cities mustered their main strength. Gamma was the first of the reinforcements to arrive and were tasked with a forward guard ensuring the main fortified line would be alert and ready when the attack came. The attack came in the early hours one morning. Gamma sounded their horn and locked shields, slowly giving ground to meet up with the main defensive phalanx manned by Beta. When the reached the Beta phalanx they found not friendly shields, but the pointed end of spears attacking from the rear. As their numbers dwindled realisation dawned that Beta was intend on betraying the civilised world to these savages. The pass had fallen the moment Beta arrived and it would be up to the soldiers of Gamma to send a runner to the other cities. Being one of the youngest Pallas was in the middle of the formation and was able to muster the energy to throw a last ditch effort at the Beta phalanx. In the confusion caused when foreign attackers finally fought through to the Beta soldiers, Pallas was able to escape. Running for all he was worth to warn Alpha. He arrived late into the evening. Exhausted he managed to pant, "Fallen, Betr...". before the ground rushed up to meet him. He woke with a start, looking up at canvas. Another scream came from outside. Pallas cast about for his shield but only saw the priestess. [/QUOTE]
