The bloodshed has transpired as foretold by the Gods. The son’s of Oedipus have been mutually slain. Eteocles by Polyneices for his defense of our great city, and Polyneicies at the hand of his brother for his treachery. A most unfortunate affair to be certain. The blood now flows only through the veins of foolish women, a most regrettable circumstance.Worse yet, a proclamation has been sanctioned by Creon stating that any man who attempts to observe proper burial rites over the corpse of Polyneicies shall face certain death as a traitor to the crown. The rituals required by the Gods must be observed to preserve the sanity and safety of Thebes and its people. To be stricken by the wrath of the powerful bears ill upon this land and that man. Risks such as these must be avoided, we must guard ourselves against sin and as ruler, Creon is bound by his title to protect his kingdom. I fear that he has committed a grave sin against the Gods by denying this dead traitor passage from this world and into the next.
A sister’s heart aches, torn by her loyalties. Shall she sacrifice her immortal soul so that this body might walk beside her sister’s, so that she might fulfill a vowed marriage? The duties are known and the consequences clear, life ended abruptly ensures pacification of the Gods and demonstrates deep loyalty to blood lost. She must choose and she will choose wisely. A lesson must be learned.

What exactly do you mean by foolish women? >:[
Tereisias, you are the only one to whom I can speak directly. I send you this message through the flight of birds. The Gods are angry against Creon, he should not have done what he did. No Man can infringe Gods' wills. His sin will not be forgiven. I hope your wisdom will enable you to understand this message. Antigone knows she has a mission and a destiny. Try to give the right advice to Creon.
