Backpacking Trip: Ancient Greece, Thursday

ancientbschamp.livejournal.comSeveral millennia into the future today, and maybe in a Greece that wasn't this one, a lot of people were probably paying attention to a certain sporting match as a matter of national pride.
That wasn't happening here; if anything, any attention paid to matters of athletic prowess were focused entirely on the Amazons' weapons training -- today Solari and Ephiny had taken it upon themselves to put on a bit of a show, chobos vs. staff, in the center of the village. (It wasn't quite the spectacle that had been Xena challenging Melosa for the queenship in the events that led up to the peace treaty with the centaurs, but Solari and Ephiny were pretty formidable themselves.) Or, if you were on the other side of the river, Tyldus had taken it upon himself to lead a swordwork lesson for the younger centaurs and human children of that village.
There were other things to do, of course; with the backpackers' stay winding down, a feast on the riverbank had been planned, and preparations for that were underway with no small amount of vigor. A large firepit had to be cleared and ringed with stone, there was hunting, fishing, and foraging to be done, and someone had to haul out those huge Amazon drums for the dancing.
. . . not that they were demanding any of the visitors help with that, though if they really wanted to . . .
. . . it was probably a coincidence. Right?
