	While Kyros and Milo escorted Pythagoras back to his house, along with four other bodyguards, they were attacked by a skilled group of [[Mercenary\|hired men]] that attempted to take their lives. In the end, they managed to fight them off, though most of the bodyguards were killed in the struggle. As they returned to their villa, they were followed by an angry mob, to which Milo confronted them and sacrificed himself. This allowed Kyros and Pythagoras to use a secret passage to escape from Croton.<ref name="PL" />		While Kyros and Milo escorted Pythagoras back to his house, along with four other bodyguards, they were attacked by a skilled group of [[Mercenary\|hired men]] that attempted to take their lives.

	Many years after, Kyros and Pythagoras journeyed through a desert. Despite Kyros' worries about their water supply diminishing rapidly, Pythagoras seemed to have a clear goal in mind, and they eventually met [[Hermes Trismegistus]]. As Kyros observed his [[Staff of Hermes Trismegistus\|staff]], which was decorated with two [[snake\|serpents]], a voice emanated from it that told Pythagoras that he was a worthy successor. Following this encounter, Kyros was engulfed by darkness.<ref name="PL" />		Many years after, Kyros and Pythagoras journeyed through a desert.

	When Kyros woke up, Pythagoras was supping him water, until he gradually regained his senses.

	Even though Kyros knew very well he was no longer in the prime of his life, he wished to challenge Princess [[Atalanta]] of [[Arkadia]] to a race, in order to earn the chance to marry her. However, losing the race would result in his death, so he went to ask Pythagoras for advice. He was told that he would find what he needed in an [[Abandoned Temple of Aphrodite\|abandoned temple]] which had revered the goddess [[Aphrodite]]. Halfway through his journey to the temple, Kyros was struck by a fierce blizzard, and he saw a woman unnaturally walking through the temple wall, and the next thing he felt were the [[sun]]'s rays on his skin.<ref name="PL" />		Even though Kyros knew very well he was no longer in the prime of his life, he wished to challenge Princess [[Atalanta]] of [[Arkadia]] to a race, in order to earn the chance to marry her.
