Week 9 EOC: Food Adventures

               The sky grew dark with an ominous intent that that swirled about in the air. Phineas Fogg knew something was amiss when he entered the hub within the city of Athens, Greece.  The drowning sounds of patrons grew dim when he entered and all eyes turned to look at this stranger that came to their city. Many stared with disapproving eyes and it didn’t take long before a few burly men stood up walked over to Phineas. He was expecting this and, with a twirl of his mustache, he simply smiled at the large seemingly intimidating men. In the corner of a hub, was the beautiful female monarch who was to be sacrificed to the gods. Phineas twirled the cane in his hand and placed it in front of him as he simply took his stance. Suddenly the closest man to Phineas lunged at him but Phineas had expected this and reflexively responded by lifting the bottom part of his cane in an upward stroke that hit the man squarely under his chin.  The second of the three men watched as the first man was sent reeling back and fell down upon the table behind him. A scowl grew on his rugged face before he charged at Phineas in the same manner. Phineas twirled the cane to his side and lifted his leg in a side motion to send a well place kick to the side of the man’s head. That sent him colliding face first into a nearby chair that broke upon contact at the force of the fall.  The third man of the trio picked up a nearby bottle and threw it at Phineas. The bottle nearly missed the side of his head and instead took off his top hat. Using it as a distraction, the man tackled Phineas against the table behind him. Phineas managed to push him off and both men stood up. Phineas threw a few jabs before the man fell dazed on the floor below him.  The rest of the patrons moved back giving a wide berth. Phineas came for not only the female monarch but also the recipe for a special kind of chips that were said to have been eaten by the gods themselves.  Freeing the woman of royalty, Phineas took the parchment from her that housed the secret and smiled at the stunned townsfolk.
