As Bianor strolled along the path after leaving the forge he decided to go give praise to Zeus. The temple was not far and he had time before the main feasting began. A massive building with glowing white pillars and brightly coloured marble flooring, Bianor walked through and stopped in front of the towering statue of the god. He knelt and started offering his praise.<br/><br/>Just as he started he heard some voices passing close to the temple.<br/><br/>*hiccup* "This piss poor wine gets weaker every damn year, so much for a bountiful harvest" commented a harsh throaty voice floated on the wind.<br/><br/>"What you expect these days, everyone seems concerned with their money" a second voice said.<br/><br/>Bianor moved over to the side of the temple, not wanting to be noticed by anyone, he edged himself close to the entrance to make a hasty retreat incase they came in.<br/><br/>"Here lads" a third voice emerged "Look aint that Kallisto standing there"<br/><br/>"Ho ho, how about a little fun lads"<br/><br/>Anger rising through him Bianor slinked from pillar to pillar following the trio.<br/><br/>"Oh beautiful Kallisto, what brings you tonight to our humble village?" He heard one of them say, he could just see Kallisto bowing her head. His anger at the drunk fools messing around with her burst and he moved around to the side of them and moved out of the temples Shadow.<br/><br/>"Leave her alone" His voice no more than a growl.<br/><br/>The trio span round to face this unexpected voice to see Bianor standing there, a look of fury on his face.<br/>"Whats it to you smithy, keep your sooty nose out of it" The tallest one of the the three rasped. Chuckling away his companions started fanning out just slightly ready to fight if it came to it.<br/><br/>"Can you not see the lady feels uncomfortable, just leave her alone and go back to your drinking"<br/>Bianor stood his ground, he glanced past the men to see Kallisto stood there staring at the scene, no doubt thinking what a fool he was. The tallest guy walked over and faced up to Bianor. "Think your tough and stand up for the whore? What if we just had a bit of fun with you then moved onto her, letting you watch hey, how does that make you feel?"<br/><br/>Backing off slightly Bianor smiled at the man, although there was three of them, being the son of a blacksmith had given him a strong and fit body, sparring with his brother gave him fighting experience. The anger rising inside him *how dare they disrespect the lady* he thought to himself. Without thinking he took a swing, slipping the taller man on the chin and sent him sprawling. The two others stood there gawping at what had just happened and start advancing on Bianor. Taking a crouching stance he readied himself for them.<br/><br/>Just then a group of revellers from the festivities wandered over shouting their thanks to Zeus. The two men left standing wanted not to be found here fighting and quickly grabbed their companion and dragged him off. Once all parties had moved off Bianor looked around to find Kallisto walking off towards the village square. He jogged over to her.<br/>"Ar...are you oki?" He asked, his heart in its mouth as she turned to him with a wide stare. Those beautiful emeralds like deeper than oceans, she look fragile at that moment.
