00:14sought to slay but unbeknownst to the prince and his followers a dark secret loomed over his life
00:21the night of Meliega's birth his mother Althea the Queen of Caledon was visited by three shadowy
00:28goddesses known as the Fates Clotho Lachesis and Atropos rarely appeared to mortals but wielded
00:35untold power over their lives Clotho spun a thread at the birth of new life Lachesis determined its
00:42length and Atropos cut it with her shears marking the moment of death when the Fates visited Althea
00:49that night they gestured towards the blazing hearth and decreed that Meliega would live only until the
00:55burning log was reduced to embers Althea rushed to quench the fire but before she could beg for
01:01more information the Fates had vanished she locked the log in a chest and took comfort in guarding the
01:07key to her son's safety as he grew into a talented young man and a daring hot-tempered warrior Meliega
01:15traveled far and accomplished impressive feats until soon a formidable opponent arrived at his
01:21doorstep during that year's annual sacrifices Meliega's father neglected to leave an offering
01:27to Artemis goddess of the hunt so the gods sent their punishment in the form of a boar that tore
01:32through Caledon hide bristling with razor-sharp hairs spear like tusks gleaming and lightning leaping
01:40from its mouth it had decimated the area's fields herds and people since there was no hope of defeating
01:46the boar alone Althea's beloved brothers agreed to accompany their nephew on the hunt Meliega hastily
01:53recruited Greece's best warriors to join them including Castor revered for his horsemanship as
01:59well as his brother Pollux a fearsome fistfighter Meliega also called on a Castus who hurtled javelins
02:06with incomparable strength Senius a hero with impenetrable skill and Amphiarius a revered diviner
02:13but perhaps most skilled of them all was Atalanta the famed warrior of the Arcadian woods because her
02:20father wanted a male heir he abandoned her in the wilderness suckled by a bear and raised by roaming
02:27hunters Atalanta became a fierce wrestler swift runner and lethal hunter though some of Meliega's men
02:35objected to fighting alongside a woman he assured them of Atalanta's strength and led his small army
02:41into the ravaged countryside in search of the beastly boar Athlea waved farewell anxiously but reassured
02:49herself that her son could come to no grievous harm so long as she guarded the log the fates had linked

03:01lobbed weapons into the dark of the monster's den suddenly charging from its cave the boar flattened

03:12Atalanta pinpointed a vulnerable spot behind the beast's ears and let fly one perfectly aimed arrow
03:20with the beast weakened Amphireus lodged another arrow in its eye leaving Meliega to deal the final blow
03:27Meliega praised Atalanta's first decisive hit and awarded her the boar's hide and head but his uncles
03:35were outraged that he should bestow all the glory upon a woman so they snatched her prize Meliega's
03:42temper flared back and before his mind cleared the consequence of a bitter battle lay before him he
03:48had killed his uncle in his fit of rage keeping watch at the palace Althea rejoiced at the hunter's
03:55return but the news of her brother's death at the hands of her son quickly transformed her relief
04:00into grief and then unabated rage Althea tore from the crowd to her quarters ears ringing and hands shaking
04:09her mind a frenzied blur of betrayal and resentment Althea fumbled for the hidden chest shook its lock
04:15free and pitched the log into the flames all at once Meliega was engulfed by strange agony that would
04:23haunt his last fated moments a destiny grounded into his and his mother's lives though neither could
