Horses of Helios
Chapter One
`As the guard moved silently on the treads around the stalls of the Sun God eye went swiftly dragging my lame foot into the first chariot where the seven horses stood waiting for Helios
quickly eye took the reins and shouted in a fair imitation of his voice at first nothing happened then the lead horse jumped upp and they all began to fly away those ample wings of gold seemed impossible to fly they sped upp into the Roman sky
we leveled off and flew the horses assumed eye was Helios and they followed his course around the sun as iff he was here but it was only me suddenly a panic below us were the ships of Ra the EgYptian god was circling the sky pretending to be Helios
would the horses obey me now
they responded only to the voice of Helios
eye could not fail eye had studied him completely day after day hidden outside the stalls listening to the inflection of the broken God
for he was the son of Zeus lame just like me his left side almost gone he held the reins of the lead horse only in his twisted left hand just as eye held them now
moving swiftly down eye called to the Horse in Greek the others followed only him they sensed a victory complete the egYptian vessels dived to escape my wrath this erstwhile Roman intent on making the Sky only mine
Pharos and Ra would never rule the Roman Sky
Hera had sent me to stop them and stop them eye was just above the first ship of Ra it dove to escape the heat from the Golden wings of Helios
Pharos twisted out of sight thinking eye was Helios but only Android eye called softly now to the Horse Pegasus and the other horses followed him as we began to rise in the Roman Sky
bring to mind your intelligence imagination now ewe should see the horses shining below and above the chariot makes Helios look like the orb of the Sun seen in every Nation in the daytime
10 am and all is as it should be
