Alesh (Athenian Hero)

According to the The Big Book of Ancient Gabanian Fables Alesh was born in the 12th year of Empress Allacia IV. The Son of the peasant Formu and Nallaiz, they grew up poor. In order to make some money to feed their 22 children, Alesh was sold into Slavery to the owner of the land Formu worked on, a Gainese Army Captain Tellasu Fa'lazul. Alesh would be treated like a son by Tellasu who could not have a child and grew up on his Hachaz. The Gainese strongly opposed to Slaves as children, yet Tellasu looked after young Alesh eventually trusting him to handle many of the duties on the Hachaz when he was out fighting the Russians in the North. When Alesh was 16 he one day ran into his mother Nallaiz, who pleaded her son forgiveness for Formu did not know better and wished for her son to forgive him before he had passed away. Alesh was displeased by the news as he did not know he was but a slave, for sixteen days Alesh fasted and prayed to the Gods for a sign. One night in his bed chambers the Mother Goddess Pallas Athena appeared to him and disrobed herself offering her body in exchange she bore his daughter Paris Goddess of Love. At the news that a Gainese Slave bore a child of a God Alesh was sentenced to death by the Gainese. Before Tellasu himself was to carry the blade to kill his beloved slave and lover, Alesh led a rebellion at the Fortress Abadin burning the barracks to a crisp and killing some 3,400 troops with their stolen weapons. Alesh would run for the Agapta Hills near Citta Abadin, now the Citta Alesh, were he would gather further Gainese Slaves to revolt against their overlords. Thus began the Revolt of Alesh. One day marching towards the Gainese Capital of Citta Atena, Alesh was ambushed by the Gainese Army and a enraged Tellasu who captured Alesh and all of the rebels killing all but Alesh. Alesh was taken before the Sullah whom spit and kicked Alesh. He was dragged across the Citta until the Sullah ordered Alesh to be nailed to a cross, cut into pieces, drawn and quartered, before being burnt so that his body would not be able to enjoy the luxuries offered in the after life. Alesh was killed on 16 of the month which now bares his name of the year 278984 B.U.K. His remains remained a mystery up until the Unification of the United Kingdom and the fall of the Gainese Empire and Egyptian Athens his remains were found as a war booty prize in the office of the Gainese Army in the Citta Atena. They were preserved, authenticated, and sent to five temples which now had born his name. The largest of the pieces is in the Temple of Alesh (Guadalupe) were members of his descendants now rule the Kingdom of Guadalupe.
