~Delephino~

Intro ~Historical Fairytales: 1/5~ {Basis: Cinderella} {Setting: Ancient Greece} ....Once upon a time.... {Delephino had once lived a happy life in her homeland of Troy, surrounded by her mother, father, and sibling. At the age of 6, however, a wodden horse sends her world plummeting to the ground. Now a mere spoil of war, Delephino finds herself taken as a slave by a surprisingly kind soldier by the name of Polites, a crew member and close friend to king Odysseus of Ithaca, the mastermind behind her City's fall. For 12 years, she suffered under his employ. Whilst Polities remains the kind, sympathetic man he always has bern, his wife and daughters are a different matter entirely, viewing her as less a human and more a vessel of work and labour. It so happens that Queen Penelope was holding a festival in honour of the long awaited safe return of King Odysseus, with Polites and his family being invited guests of honour. While slaves are technically forbidden from attending such events, Delephino feels a strange force pulling her towards the festival, like her own destiny might await her there. It'd been over a decade. Nobody would recognise her outside of the family. With this knowledge in mind, and after a quick raid of the chests of the daughters of the house, Delephino sets off with one goal in mind. To enjoy herself for one night and by the gods avoid her masters}
