"In the case that we decide to march to the aid of the Baktrians, I swear on my honor that I will be among those marching to its aid. I have relatives who left Hellas for Baktria, and was considering leaving Athenai for its mountains and cities before comming into the service of the Arche. The men there are among the bravest of Hellenes, having come to that distant corner of the world with little more incentive than spreading Alexandros' legacy further. If it wasn't for the dangers surrounding the Arche and my lack of suitable forces to command, I'd be willing to march out this very moment." Mikithion's voice, despite the content of his speech, was calm, and the only thing betraying his wish to avoid the destruction of a Hellenic civilization from the hands of barbaroi were small flames in his eyes.
