42. Taking flight

Posted by Anonymous Labels: , , , ,


Roxane:
Wait. We have his son. Alexander. Wait. Wait. Vultures. Wait. We have his son.
Just three more months. Please live.

Nearchus:
Alexander, the army will divide. Satrapies will revolt. Without your orders, there'll be war.

Perdicass:
We beg you. Tell us who.

The crowd:
Who will rule this great empire?
Who do you want to, Alexander?
We beg you, tell us.

Alexander (v.o.):
The myth becomes real.

Olympias (v.o.):
Zeus is your father.

Ptolemy:
Who will it be? Pray tell us, who?

The crowd:
 What did he say?

Perdicass:
"To the best. " He said, "To the best."

Crowd:
What?
No, he said, "To Crateros. "
To Crateros?
Why would he say Crateros?
