Scene I: The Search for Help

Once upon a time, in ancient Greece, a man named Elian was strong and powerful,
he searched for the omnipotents gods, his main purpose was to receive an indemnity
for the loss of his beloved wife. Near a forest in Athens he deviates from the path to
the capital and finds an interesting inkling that would take him to a place to meet the
god.

Narrator: With an ardent will in his mind, he went to the indicated place and could
hear a voice echoing.

Elian: Who are you? I am not afraid of anything and if I am forced I will attack you
without thinking.

Zeus: I am the mighty god of gods, Zeus, and if you don't regulate your character I
will chastise your entire life for the rest of your days.

Elian: I have spent much of my days looking for them, now I occupy my reward.

Narrator: Elian was a very arrogant man and Zeus noticed this immediately.

Zeus: What makes you think someone like me should listen to the capricious of a
mortal?

Elian: I've tried hard to find you, I deserve a reward.

Narrator: The discussions of both continued in a assiduous way, Elian claimed what
he thought he deserved, but Zeus noticed that he acted in a brash way and decided
to put him to the test.

Scene II: The Proof

After extensive discussions between the two, Zeus grew tired and allocated Elias a
test. He proposed that if he completed it he would be rewarded and Elias accepted.

Narrator: And so, Zeus came up with the idea to fight the cyclops Euthydemos of
great might, and as well he came up with a reward and a punishment depending on
Elian’s destiny

Zeus: Oh Elian the arrogant, if so you speak of having great power, I would like to
test it, bring me the eye of the omnipotent cyclops, Euthydemos and I will reward
accordingly fail and you will be doomed to an eternal life of punishment and regret

Narrator: Elian obstructed by what Zeus had just said, bluffed at the proposal and
thought to himself that it would be an easy feat for a warrior of his magnitude.

Elian: And what will be my reward for completing your trial

Zeus: I will make your life be filled with opulence and great wealth, an copious
number of women that will resemble the beauty of Aphrodite.

Narrator: Elian in his sophomoric manner, accepted reluctantly to this trial for the
rewards were great and of unmatched value.

Zeus: But remember young warrior, if you were to fail I will lock you up in a metal box
and throw you into the ocean with the eternal might of my lightning striking down and
boiling you alive. I will make you immortal so you experience this pain forever.

Scene III: Mysterious Travel

Elian, after agreeing with Zeus, started preparing to leave and find Euthydemos to
slay him and claim his bounty of infinite wealth.

Narrator: Elian, now with a task at hand, embarked on his journey to the island of
Sicily, but first he would need a weapon and armor to defeat his great enemy.

Elian: I must venture for the weapons I need at the top of the mountain.

Narrator: And so Elian went forth to the peak of the mountain, where he found the
guardian of the most powerful weapons, the sword of Zeus and the trident of
Poseidon.

The Guardian: You a mortal want the sacred weapons? I can see that your heart is
filled with resolve. You can take the weapons for your purpose, but know that if there
is even an inkling to betray your resolve, your soul must be taken and tortured for an
enernity.

Narrator: So Elian took the weapons and went on to slay Euthydemos. Even if he
was filled with rancor, he was set on what he had to do.

Elian: I am ready to honor my late wife, I will fulfill my destiny and bring justice.

Narrator: Elian, in an exult way, took the weapons of the gods and headed towards
the cave of the cyclops.

Scene IV: The Battle

Elian was ready for the battle, standing outside the cave, knowing how intense this
battle would be, kept his posture without showing fear, took a deep breath, and
walked inside the cave.

Euthydemus: Ah! I see you don't fear death, mere mortals.

Elian: There's no reason to fear you nor death, since this battle is already decided.

Euthydemos: Worry not little one, I will end this battle as soon as possible.

Narrator: Elian, without doubting his strength, attacked Euthydemos, which began
this epic battle.

Euthydemos: (Avoiding Elian's attack) It seems like you are decided, don't you?
Then, there is no reason for me to retain myself.

(Euthydemos gives a strong punch towards Elian, missing and causing a collapse on
the cave).

Elian: (Grabbing Poseidon's trident) Let's see how you handle this.

(Elian used the trident, provoking a great wave towards Euthydemos).

Euthydemos: Not even the Gods will save you.

(Euthydemos, using one of the rocks that collapsed, passed through the wave and
kicked Elian).
Euthydemos: Only 1 hit and you are finished, how pathetic. You never stood a
chance against me, but don't worry, Zeus' punishment will be an act of mercy
compared to this.

(Euthydemos, grabbing the trident, walked towards Elian, decided to destroy his
arms and legs by gnarling them with the trident's power).

Elian: (Decided to end the battle on the next hit, grabbed the other weapon he had,
Zeus sword). My will is stronger than yours, even if it is not an heroic one, there's no
way I lose to someone as weak as you.

(Elian, using the sword, electrocuted Euthydemos, burning him to ashes, granting
the victory to Elian).

Scene V: Elian The Arrogant ends

At the end Elian wins to the Euthydemos and returns from his journeys to see Zeus
and reclaim his reward of wealth at the mountain that is near the olympus.

Elian: Zeus I have claimed my reward and have already succeeded in your littles
games.

Zeus: Oh mortal Elian the arrogant you indeed made it with, strong will and
determination you have accomplish your test and defeated the Euthydemos

Elian: I did it so now give me my reward.

Zeus: So arrogant as always but without our help you wouldn't have accomplished
that amazing task should i really give you your reward? After all, you are just an
insignificant mortal who doesn't have minimum respect towards me.

(Elian then thinks of a deal even do he doesn't like it because of his Arrogance)

Elian: Indeed I haven't shown you my respect towards you so i propose this, i will
serve you as a warrior and receive my reward that way a can show my respect.

Zeus: I accept your offer and from now on you will serve me and have unlimited
wealth.

(In the end elian became one of the best mortal warriors of zeus and live a good life)
