squeaks frightened Hephaestion
as they gallop past multiple scenes of devastation –
now numbering at five.
He turns to Alexander.
“So how now?”
Alexander smirks, eyes laser-focused on
his rival ahead. Plainly, he replies, with a tug of the reins and assent of their horses,
“Now? We win.
Eia!”
Some metres ahead Nicolaos bristles,
angry that Alexander had not yet fallen with the others.
Struck by a seed of an idea,
he yells at the fellow competitor closest to him,
“Hey! Hey, Fancy!
Yeah, you!”
Nicolaos gestures with his head the approach of Alexander behind them,
and smiles evilly with his newcome conspirator.
“C’mon,
let’s take down that Macedonian rat together, yeah? Make flatbread out of him.
Then the two of us can have a real race!”
