The Oracle of Apolloton
This is the Oracle of Apolloton. The God Apollo, God of prophecy will give you advise and an answer for all your questions. Ask me whatever you wish to know and I'll giev you the answer.
Perhaps it is fun to adopt it as a habit to ask the oracle what we should do when we reach a point to make a decision that can not be undone, such like jumping a palace, building a city, declaring war, etc. But also in other cases, the God shall be there to answer your questions.

This is the answer the God has given me:
They are dedicated to the game and have a chance on fortune. Through strenuous competition, fight and struggle they shall attept to gain this fortune and they will finally either gain this fortune or end in sadness.
Without them you can but not be winner.
So Apollo speaks.

That you will share your ideas with others and give away fortune, that you will attempt to rule, but will face violence because of that. But in the end there will always be death.

Well, the God doesn't and you better watch out, or you have to face his wrath. Apollo is known for his anger.

Oracle - I have heard rumours of something called real life. Does it exist? What is it? And is real life really 'real'? And if so, what does that say about our existence here?
I'm confused. Oracle, please help me.

Real life is mostly family life. It a reality in an arrogant world. Your existence here is like a hermit from the real world.

Vlad, it was Oidipous who killed his father and married his mother. He killed himself by putting out his eyes in despair when he found out what he had done. about this Sophocles wrote a play as well of what happened after Oidipous' death: the Theban seven days' war and the tragedy of Antigone.
