Hello. I had an idea for a new fic about Alexander and Hephaistion. ^^ I hesitated to post it or not because it' s probably a bit different than my previous ones. More than ten years ago, I read an extraordinary manga about reincarnations and now I think I can try to use that theme and It will be inspired from it for Alexander and Hephaistion 's love story.

We will follow the story of our beloved characters through their new selfs in 2011 but also the ones they were in their past lifes . Basically what 's going to happen when the memories of their past lifes will strike in order to solve some mysteries left unknown.

It's going to be a difficult challenge for me. The update will probably take a lot more time than when I posted my last fic. I hope you will like it ^^

Ps: In 2011 our beloved characters and their companions has of course new names as well . It will take place in France ( because it's a lot more conveniant for me to have them reborn there.

Chapter 1

Axel was a young 22 years old man who just left his family to move in Paris. He was a brillant and handsome brunette man with amazing deep green eyes. He used to live in south of France but when he got a job to be an assistant teacher at the prestigious Sorbonne university, he decided to leave his 5 sisters and his two parents. He was a very intelligent man but he didn't know what to do with his life, being an assistant teacher wasn't so bad and would have given him time to think about his future. He was eager to start his new job.

He rented a small flat near the universtity. Everything seemed to be perfect except for one thing: The young girl who was living next door with his older sister. She was seventeen, with very long dark auburn's hair and blue's eyes like he never seen before. Her name was Lina.

Last time she knocked at his door because her trash bags were too heavy for her to handle and she needed help to bring them at the bins room. Another time he remember he met her a the supermarket and she managed to make him buy the sweets she wanted. Plus he didn't forget the numerous days when she requested him to help her to fix her tv, fix her plumbing or scare away a bee who entered her room.

He sighed. She was nice but a bit spoiled and obviously used to have everything she wanted . The fact she was the daughter of the owner of his flat made it more difficult for him to refuse her endless requests. Her older sister Chloé who was 22 years old too felt sometimes the need to excuse herself for his little sister's behavior.

At least, starting from today, he 'll see her less since the holidays were done. He 'll have to work and she would have to go to high school.

It was his first day at work and he was a bit tense. He met a lot of co workers but two of them caught his eyes . The first one was a french teacher, a good looking man. Hazel eye's, brown hairs , taller and thin. His name was Anthony. At his side was a very cute and petite woman, she had dark hair and brown eyes. Her name was Cassandra. They talked a bit and he learnt the two of them knew each other since their childhood. She was an history's teacher.

He couldn't help but notice that Cassandra was staring at him a bit too much. Times passed and he had to left them to go at his lecture hall.

Anthony looked at her childhood friend who he was in love with since he was a teen with a bit of sadness and jealousy.

" This new year is going to be very interessting " she said to him with a huge smile.

He nodded to her but didn't share the same excitement than her.

Axel was waiting for his students to enter. The first impression was really important and he didn't want to fail. The students entered and took their sit.

He started to present himself when he had been interrupted by someone who was late.

Axel didn't like the students who were late. This was absolutetly not serious and he was curious to see the identity of the person who was bugging the others students up there. The amphitheater was packed and it seems that that particular student had difficulty to find a place.

Then he saw it and his heart froze. That student was Lina and she was waving at him now. How could she have been here?. She was seventeen. She should have been in high school.

" NOOOOO" what all he could thought about the situation. He was cursed. He sighed but continued his class like he didn't noticed her.

At the end of the lesson , of course Lina had to greet him.

" Axel! When I knew you were the philosophy assistant teacher. I knew I had to take that course."

Axel blinked.

" Why are you here? You are only seventeen…" he asked annoyed.

" Seventeen but a genius… I 've finished high school in advance. I'm so happy you are here. It's full of people I don't know and it's a bit scary. You 'll take care of me." She said with a lot of enthousiam.

"Lina, I'm not your baby sitter… and do not wave at me when you entered my class next time."

"Oh" She said then smiled even more brightly " I know you are not my baby sitter, I'm too older for being babby sitted "

Axel tried to change the topic.

" So you are interested by philosophy ?"

" Nope, to be honest, it's boreme to death but with you as my teacher you may help me to have good score."

" I won't favour you…"

" I know, I don't ask for being favoured but I can't wait for you to give me private lessons " she grinned.

" What a nightmare " he thought . " I won't do it for free…"

" Don't worry, my father will pay" she added.

The next class students arrived and she had no choice than leave. She waved good bye to him. Axel sighed.

Away from Paris, In Egypt a very worried father was saying good bye to his 24 years old son.

" Father, why are you sending me in Paris when we, the Egyptien people are now changing the course of our history. " The young man complained. He was very tall and didn't look like he needed to be sheltered. He was very handsome with his typical Egyptian 's handsome face.

" I don't just send you in Paris. You are going to work at the Louvre's museum. It's a big opportunity for you. It always had been one of your dream too " The father remined.

" I know but…"

"Enough." The older man said as he gave a box to his son. " Take this"

The son opened the box and saw a beautiful golden ring with a red amber stone.

" I want you to have it . You are old enough and just in case something … " He stopped " It's the tradition for you to have it."

The young man was touched. This ring was passed through generations in his family to the point they didn't remember how they got it at the first place. He looked at it and something was writing inside in ancient greek.

" The sun and the stars " He touched the stone and felt attracted by it.

" Thank you father " He said very touched. "

They hugged and said good bye to each other.

The next day in Paris, Axel had to go at his work with Lina who insisted to walk with him. She had the gift to stress him .

Thank god, she had plenty others courses to follow and they separate once they were arrived. At lunch break he tried to find a quite place to eat his lunch. A place where Lina wouldn't be able to find him. He found a little park nearby and sat under a tree. Suddenly he heard two voices coming from behind.

" This was disturbing what happened last night " . Axel always had been a very curious man so he wanted to look what was going on. He gasped when he realized it was his two co workers : Cassandra and Anthony.

" I know…" said Cassandra. " It was a such orgy with so many men.. And we clearly enjoyed it " she added.

" For sure it was very erotic…" Anthony stated " Then we did it together.."

Axel had his mouth wide open and he decided he heard enough about it but unfortunately for him his foot broke a dead branch on the ground and the noise interrupted his two co workers who saw him there.

They were staring at him in shock.

" I 'm sorry.. I didn't hear anything " Axel stammered but his face was red as a tomato.

"No. No, it's not what it looked like " Cassandra tried to say but Axel had ran away quickly.

Anthony and Cassendra looked at each other.

" We will have to fix this for sure " Anthony declared.

They were clearly very embarrassed.

At the end of the day. They noticed Axel and litteraly forced him to have a drink with them to explained the situation.

The three of them had just ordered their drink when Lina saw his neighbour and entered the coffee shop. She didn't even ask if she could sat with them. She just did.

"You were not invited " Axel declared annoyed.

" Is she your little sister? " asked Cassandra with curiousity.

"No, my neighbour and the daughter of the owner of my flat" Axel said with an annoying voice.

Lina smiled and asked the bartender to give her a soda.

Anthony and Cassandra were very uncomfortable.

"About what you heard earlier. It was not reality… We were talking about a dream we had last night " Cassandra said.

Anthony nodded .

" We did the exact same dream with the same details… We were two men… it was really weird. "

Axel felt curious.

" You two are very close to talk about your dreams like that." He said.

His co worker both nodded.

" We used to have similar dreams when we were childs. And this was the same type of dreams."

"Oh" Axel didn't know what to think. Lina was listening but felt bored as hell.

"In theses dreams, my name is Cassander " Anthony declared. "I'm greek, I wear a chiton and I'm a general in Alexander' the great army ".

Axel couldn't suppressed his surprise.

" And my name is Perdicass, I'm a man and a general too " Cassandra added. " I know it sounds crazy but as an history teacher I can tell our dream are accurate.."

Lina suddenly stood up.

"This is boring. I 'm leaving. Thank you for the drink Axel " she said.

" What… I'm not gonna pay your… " but of course she didn't listen and she exited the coffee shop.

" Damn… " He cursed.

"Anyway " Cassandra said " We were talking about it because , the dreams seemed so real …."

Anthony and Cassandra looked at each other. They were used to talk about the possibility of reincarnation between them but Axel was a stranger.

" It's very interesting " Axel said " You may be their reincarnations. I'm not sure I believe in this thing but in a philosophical 's point of view, it will be sure very intriguing to analyze "

The childhood's friends looked relieved.

"So you don't think we are ridiculous…?" Cassandra asked.

"Nope " Axel answered genuinely.

" Sometimes we wonder if others friends from this time period had been reincarnated too… The dreams gives a lot of informations but they are really ramdom. "

Cassander nodded .

" I 'd love to dream a lot more about it , maybe we could discovered where Alexander's tomb is… Or what happened , did he had been murdered …?" He suggested.

Cassandra nodded.

" The same about Hephaisiton…" she added.

" Hephaistion?" never heard of it . Axel declared.

" Oh, it's because there are not much informations about him. But he was Alexander 's best friend and probably lover. We didn't dream about it yet . So we aren't sure about this. "

" Alexander the great was gay?" Axel was stunned to know about this .

"I think he was playing both side " Cassandra said .

" Definetely gay " Anthony answered.

Cassandra pinched Anthony in his arm.

" Don't say that…You have no proof , unless you had a dream and didn't talk to me about it. . You see Axel, Anthony who was Cassender never liked Hephaistion.."

" Don't say things you can't understand Cassandra… I was certainely not the same mean man you read in your history books or novels…"

Axel felt a bit lost in this discussion. They both noticed it and felt embarrassed.

" Sorry, you must think we are crazy" Cassandra said.

"Oh no " Axel replied " I found funny , your name is Cassandra when Anthony was called Cassender in his previous life "

"We found it funny too when we noticed " Anthony said and then laughed ."I'm glad my parents didn't pick Perdicass for my name though " he laughed even more.

They shared a nice time and it was a bit late when Axel came back . He was not even surprised to see Lina sat on the stairs waiting for him.

"You are late ! What about my lesson " She said annoyed.

Axel deeply sighed.

" I'm too tired for it now "

She stood up and took him by his arm.

"That's unfair, you promised me " she complained.

" I didn't promise you anything and please get your hand off of me "

Lina was a very stubborn girl and of course she didn't obey.

Axel became angry at her attitude and pushed her away. She lost her balance and at his own despair didn't have time to catch her to stop her dangerous fall.

She fell the stairs brutally. She remained unconscious and blood was escaping from Her head. Axel was in shock. He took his cell phone to call the emergency.

" Lina" He cried. " Oh my god, no! " He said in horror.
