Revenge is Bitter Sweet
"Astyanax my nephew I think it is time you knew the truth…" Paris speaks softly and somberly. The two of them are standing on a balcony looking over the great city of Troy.
"What are you talking about Uncle?" Astyanax asks curiously.
"You are old enough now to know the truth about your father's death." Paris said motioning for Astyanax to walk over next to him. Astyanax is a boy of 15 years old. He had his mom's beautiful shade of brown eyes. He took after his father with his hair. It was the same wavy shade of brown down to shoulder length. Astyanax also looked like his father in the face.
"Your father didn't die at the hands of any old Greek soldier… He died at the hands of Achilles... your father fought bravely. He fought for the freedom of Troy. He fought so that no other man had to die for a war they personally didn't start… The God's however were not on his side that day… Your father died for a cause greater than we will ever comprehend. Always remember that my nephew…" Paris said choosing his words carefully. While saying this he put his hand on Astyanax's shoulder, comforting him.
"So… Achilles killed my father? Is Achilles still alive?" the young man asks.
"Yes he is… where are you going with this?" Paris asks suspiciously.
"I would like you to train me… I want to be a great warrior like my father! And then once I am old enough and able to, I will bring an end to Achilles, Killer of my Father!" Astyanax states.
"Astyanax I don't think that is such a good idea… Achilles is almost God-like… There is no way you can beat him…" Paris tells Astyanax sternly.
"I am the son of Hector… Please Paris! I want to do this… Please!" Astyanax pleads.
"Ok… He was my brother… I will train you but I will fight with you so that one day maybe we can restore Hector Prince of Troy's legacy once more. You're not doing this alone!" Paris says knowing that young Astyanax will need a well seasoned warrior there to help him through. The young man was really in for quite a battle…
So for the years to come Paris trained Astyanax in the way of the sword and the way of the spear and shield. Paris was impressed by how motivated Hector's son was. Paris prayed to Apollo each day that he would watch over them the day they went to face Achilles. Knowing they would need anything the Great God Apollo could offer!
