The chapter opens with a flashback to 20 years ago, when Olympus and the rest of the Trojans are hiding out in a cave in the wilderness. They're still fugitives from the Hellas empire, and they don't think they'll ever be able to get back. They think that they've saved the Trojans from hell, but they're not going to give them back just yet. They have seven soldiers, but only seven of them are strong enough to take on the entire Hellas army. They know they can't defeat the entire empire, so they have to fight on their own.
