Fleeing the Spartans

I am a wanted woman in Sparta after intervening in the sacrifice of my brother. I foolishly thought my bravery would save him and my family name, and now my actions have cost me both. Father tried to have me killed by pushing me off the high cliffs of Mount Taygetos, but by the Gods, I survived the fall. I was rescued by the great Kayla of Florida, a peaceful giant with a longing to see the world. After much rest and rehabilitation, Kayla of Florida and I are traveling to the strange countries of “Europe,” where she says I can find much drachmae and many a person to pay me for my mercenary services. I hope to find new purpose and self-worth in Europe to ease my mourning, but in the meantime, I must evade the Spartans who are surely hunting me down and looking to punish me for my crimes.
