Antiochos Syriakus and his son Theodoros Syriakus
"Father! You called me."
"Yes, Theodoros. I called you. I had a vison. As you know we are at war. The Ptolemaios are a strong nation and they are of hellenic ancestry, but they think that they are the true heirs of Alexander...", Theodoros interupted his father, "I know that father... Why did you actually called me?" Antiochos looked out of the window into his garden, it was a beautiful garden around his palace. There were palms and cactuses and all what you find in the eastern regions. He looked to his son again, his eyes showd dolor.
"I fear that I wil die soon and you will receive my position as ruler... You musst continue the legacy of Alexander. So please listen to me: Our border guards are weak and our allies seem to appreciate it, propably they will attack us soon."
Theodoros terrified, "That would be betrayal! Our allies can't just betray us! We... We must set up the garrison in the towns. It is importa..." - "I said listen to me!", his father interupted him angry, "You shall continue the heir of Alexander after me an I've got a very important mission for you. We must reestablish Alexander's empire..."
Theodoros thought '
Reestablish Alexander's empire that mean we have to send our troops to greek. But there are the Macedons and they're our allies, also we have to conquer Baktria and Parthia and they're our allies too, just as Armenia and Pontus...We shall betray them? This is madness!', he asked his father: "That mean we shall betray our allies?". "No, we're wait for their attack so we have a false pretenses to conquer them. Furthermore you shall retrieve the body of Alexander, which is in the Ptlomaic capital Alexandria. Alexander must to get his grave in Pella, so everyone knows he was a Greek and not an Egyptian! Now I'm tired... You know what to do..." - '
The legacy of Alexander... The empire of Arche Seleukeia is the heir, it is our mission to reunite the empire of Alexander...', Antiochos thought.
