What I like about this story, it brings history to life, makes it appealing without being pedantic.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you liked it. &hearts

I think... I'm just going to drop out this week. *nodnod*

Brilliant. So freakin' brilliant, capturing all the Empires of the Mediterranean and how each was replaced by another, almost systematically. The language was beautiful, your OCs are amazing, and you really brought history to life.

The song is, once again, super appropriate (if I remember correctly, last time I pointed it out it was the same song. Still fits nicely~)

Your bias for Turkey is showing again XDDD

[moirae]

Aww, thank you so much, dear. &hearts
I'm actually getting a lot of inspiration these days because I'm aiding for my old AP Euro teacher, and listening in on his lectures a second time makes finding the patterns oh-too-easy.
They did Byzantium in class the day before I posted this.

SO? Is that a bad thing?

[chromatic_coma]

Ah, so that's it~ Maybe I should sit in on some AP World classes, or tutor some freshmen in it. That sounds like fun...

Never~

[moirae]

It's a goldmine of inspiration! XD

Oh oh oh >.< Turkey was scary~! I loved the addition of the OCs, and the history~! I feel like I know a lot more about the Mediterranean after reading your stories. :)

Thanks dear! I'm glad you enjoyed it! And learned something! ;)

History is the best story there is! /bad pun

[pureraindrop]

Very cool.
How you were able to make Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, and your OC's is amazing.
