It was at this point that Terion usually stopped listening to the spies that were sent to his court. He just waited for them to be hauled off to jail. Olympia mentioned something about hugging and loosing the Germania alliance. If she was a Roman then she would indeed want him to loose that alliance. In any case Terion turned around watched her being escorted out of the throne room. Terion went and began to return to his papers and the work that he was proceeding with before she came. Terion would speak with her later, but he would simply let her be taken to the prisons first. The men escorted Olympia farther below the palace and into the dungeons. They cast her into a cell and left her there, not really worried about her well being. They didn’t know how long she would be there and it didn’t really matter to them. If she was a Roman then she deserved to die and there was no debating that. Two guards kept post outside while the rest went away. All weapons had been removed from Olympia, so she was alone in a solitary cell with nothing but a wooden bench and a stack old rotten hay.

Olympia went willingly with the guards as they escorted her lower into the palace. Was she angry? By Hades she was, but she wasn't going to give the guards or Terion the satisfaction of them knowing she was upset. When she was pushed into the Cell, she tripped and fell, tearing a rip up to her dress that went up to her knee and skinning her knee. She turned around fast enough to glare at the guards before they walked off. She looked around her new living quarters for the moment, letting out a sigh. She walked over to the bench, sitting down on it and putting her leg on it. She tore out a length of the fabric and she wrapped it around her knee, to stop the bleeding. Of course, it would need to be cleaned later, this would have to do for the moment. She stood up and began to pace around the cell. She didn't even want to attempt to figure out what was in the hay, so she decided to avoid it as she paced. She couldn't wait for Terion to visit her, if he did. Hopefully, a messenger from Germania would arrive soon, so she wouldn't have to spend to much time down here in this place.

Terion honestly forgot that he had imprisoned Olympia and she was in the cell for a good three days before he finally remember, well, was told, that she was in the cell beneath the palace. Terion had to think about whether or not he really wanted to go down and talk to this woman. She was probably not in good shape because the cells were not sanitary and she would not have been fed all that much. Either way, he knew that he needed to go down and interrogate her one last time. He had made his men do an it more research on this place called Macedonia and they had proved that the country did exist. Terion wasn’t sure whether or not she was from there or not. She said she was the queen but she did not look anything like a queen. She most certainly would not look like one now because of her treatment in the cell. So, Terion went down to her on the third day and he stopped outside of her cell, beckoning for the guard to open the cell door for him. “So, my historians have found this country of Macedonia and I have sent a messenger to hail their king.” Terion said calmly as he leaned against the cell wall, looking at Olympia for a moment.

Olympia honestly lost track of time down in the prison. Although she wasn't fed much, she wasn't going to give these people the pleasure of knowing that she was indeed hungry. Olympia looked up when she heard someone coming down into the prisons and when she saw Terion, she stood up. When the cell door was opened for him, it took every ounce of dignity she still had not to strike at him. "Oh what a surprise." Olympia said sarcastically, clearly not in a very good mood. When he said he sent a messenger to the king, she walked towards him. "You are a fool. There is no king of Macedonia. There is only a Queen and she is sitting down in these cells, rotting away and debating whether or not to cut out your heart and feed it to you while it is still beating!" Olympia snapped glaring at him. "Open your eyes! Not everyone with dark hair and eyes is out to get you, fool. I am the Queen of Macedonia and if you keep me in this cell for one more day, not even your gods can protect you from me." Olympia said dangerously as she glared up at him.

Terion raised an eyebrow at her remarks. She was really not giving him a good reason to let her free. She said that when she was released that she would come back to him and do something to him. He didn’t really know what she had planned but something told him that he didn’t really need to fear her. After all, she was in his prison, not the other way around. She was completely subject to him right now and yet she was still threatening him. It was sort of odd for Terion. He had never encountered someone this stubborn and arrogant. Terion sighed and walked forward as she concluded her rant. He moved to her and moved his hand to her shoulder and picked her up with ease and held her up in his arms, “You know,” Terion paused, and “I came here to hear you out again I was going to let you stay in one of the finer rooms in the palace under guard instead of remaining here. I was going to let you stay there until this situation was concluded. However, since your little, rampage here, you have quickly changed my mind. If you are a queen, you diplomatic skills are lacking.” Terion concluded and released her from his grip. He turned to her at the cell door. “Perhaps you should choose your words more carefully next time.” Terion said, shaking his head.

Olympia glared at him as he spoke to her. When he was finished speaking and set her down, she looked at him. "I don't need to have diplomatic skills around you. At least Eadfearth is reasonable. Your just paranoid." Olympia said as she watched him. "But, if you do want me to be diplomatic towards you, I will. Your holding the Queen of a land you hardly know in your prison. Does it not bother you that we could be more powerful then you? I don't mean this as a threat, but you should really think through things before acting just on instinct. Although, I don't blame you for acting on instinct. That is how we as humans survive. Leave me here, if you think I may be a spy." Olympia said as she walked further into her cell, before turning around to face him. "And when will the next Germanic ship be here? I would like to leave as soon as possible." Olympia said, in a soft tone. She could tell that she was not welcome in Gael, although she did expect a warmer welcome. She decided, that for her own safety, it would be best to leave as soon as she can and not try and strain her nations relationship with the Gaelic people.

Terion watched as she tried to be more civil and more diplomatic. He had to note that she didn’t exactly do the greatest job. Terion raised an eyebrow about halfway through her rant. Once she had finished, Terion let out a smirk and took a few steps forward. “I have no way of knowing when the next ship will be arriving and as for you leaving as soon as possible. Well, that will be completely dependant on the said ship.” Terion and beckoned for one of the guards to approach. “Anyway,” Terion sighed, “I am not a cruel man, so this man, “Terion pointed to the guard that had approached. “Will take you to a room in the palace that will be more comfortable.” Terion said calmly and then nodded to the man and left the prison. Terion didn’t like being in the prison because it didn’t exactly smell to good and he just didn’t like to be in a place of utter filth. The guard approached Olympia and beckoned for her to get up. Once she had he led her out of the prison. He was going to take her to a palace room that was as far away from the king as possible. It wouldn’t be a prison, but she would be guarded as though she was in prison.

Olympia watched and listened to Terion as he told her that he was going to move her to somewhere more comfortable. "Thank you." Olympia said softly. She got up and followed the guard to her new room. Once inside, she closed the door and she could hear it locking from the outside. Even though she was in a more comfortable room, it felt as though she was still imprisoned. She let out a sigh as she walked over to the bed, sitting on it. She closed her eyes for a moment as she looked down at her knee. She had hurt it when she fell on the stone and it had stopped bleeding a long time ago. She sighed as she laid back on her bed, looking up at the ceiling. I wonder when Terion will show up again. Olympia thought to herself as she let out a sigh. She didn't like being pent up like an animal, but she wouldn't complain openly. Of course, this was much better then the prisons and she didn't have to worry about any of the other prisoners watching her.

Terion didn't return for quite a while as he had many other things to attend to as king. One of the Irish lords had attempted a rebellion from Terion on the grounds that this man thought he should be king and not Terion. It had nothing to do with Terion's rule. Terion actually had helped the Irish people considerably. He had united most of them and had sealed and protected their borders from all invaders. It was several hours before Terion found time to return to Olmympia. She knew that he was coming because the sound of the door unlocking spoiled his entrance. Terion walked into the room and walked to Olympia. "I trust that these are better accomadations." Terion said, stopping several feet from Olympia.

Olympia, who had been sleeping, woke up when she heard the door unlocking. She had always been a light sleeper and just the sound of someone opening a door or walking past her would wake her up. She stood up quickly, right when Terion walked in. She listened to what he said and she nodded her head. "Yes, much better. I was tired of having the male prisoners watching me." Olympia said as she looked at him. "So, have you found out anything more about Macedonia? I could tell you more about my country, if you would allow it." Olympia said, a smile on her face as she watched him.
