Oh and don't worry I will not despair on you and leave you hanging like so many fan fiction authors.
Ch.1: New Time, New Life
At times of needs the gods were always kind or cruel, unmerciful, but this time they were lenient. Troy was given a second chance, a new rebirth, a calm and peaceful sea; it would all be a new world. The morning it all began, was the day Odysseus buried Achilles. Aphrodite came before Zeus and said "Why have you forsaken these people?" Aphrodite was the goddess who in the eyes of Paris was the most beautiful goddess. It was she who had endowed Helen to Paris. "Why because I wish, why do I allow the sea to part, the heavens to break the….." Aphrodite spoke "the pyres to burn Troy." Zeus stared at her, he saw the young woman who stood before him, and he wondered if it had been worth listening to Hera, his wife. For you see this all began long before, it all began the day Paris chose Aphrodite to be the most beautiful goddess of Mt. Olympus, he was not erred, except that he chose Aphrodite and not Hera. He gave the golden apple to the right goddess, the fair goddess, and she rewarded him well. She prized him with Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world (Greece, Ionia, Macedonia, and Thebes). Aphrodite had doomed Troy and all her people, she had unleashed Hera's wrath on them and it was her job to do
something about it. She stood there; impatient she could feel Zeus eyes devouring her whole. Zeus spoke" This matter does not concern you, it never will." Aphrodite's fear was inevitable, she could still have to act fast "I have an offer" she said willfully "I advise you to stop middling in the lives of others. You may be beautiful and enchanting, but it is not a reason I would overlook to change the course of events" Zeus' patience was coming to an end, he had already had a bad morning, Poseidon had decide to send a storm just to avenge the death of his son, who by the way had been a complete dishonor. That caused problems for the Greeks who needed to return home. And now he had one of his youngest and unwise daughters of him begging to save mortals from a misfortune they long had a coming. "I am not interested in anything you have to say, Hera is still upset and inconsolable due to the
stunt you and that mortal hauled over her head. It was just another headache for me, and now here you are bothering me, because that is what this is it's a bother" he said in a voice Aphrodite had never heard before. She tried to hold back her tears, she had given her father a headache, and she had had no intention in angering him. She couldn't help it; it wasn't her fault that she had unspoken beauty. "But…" before she could respond, Zeus roared in shouts "and if you do not drop this matter once and for all, you will suffer the consequences" "What consequences?" she said urgently and panicked her voice was firm and still strong, but fear was behind it. "You shall be vanished," suddenly she stopped and walked out of the room vigorously. She tried, did what her limits permitted her to do, yet she failed.
Artemis had heard loud voices coming from the trial alcove, as she approached she saw Aphrodite run out of there crying. Artemis took this as an opportunity to talk to Zeus. She walked in an orderly fashion, Zeus was in his high chair deep in thought, she wondered what about. Her presence was to be applauded she was a woman, a warrior, lover of nature, wildlife and above anything else she loved to be kept anonymously where she could be peaceful. But not this time, no she had to say something. "Tell me if it is not a justifiable argument" she said as soon as she walked in. Zeus looked startled yet he knew to what she was referring to, "Good morning to you too" he said.
Disregarding his impertinence she looked at him in the eyes "Why, why must one man's stupidities end with the life of another who had nothing to do with them." This time he looked at her with a sense of respect and kindness, a different view then the one he had of Aphrodite. "Why because we are gods and they are mortals, why because they are faulty creatures and we are not, I guess you can say it's almost entertaining" he chuckled. "I came here to talk to you about Troy, well Hector" Zeus listened attentively. "He was a good man, an honorable man, he was loyal, he was loved, and he had a son…" "And many others were not in his situation, Artemis?" "Why should I consider this infatuation of yours with this man?" "It is not nearly an infatuation, I will not sit here and watch as you or any other god destroys my nature, eliminates my friends just because they think its entertainment."
Zeus contemplated her words, she had a point. "Little by little I dwindle with sorrow, due to the harm done to my…"she stopped talking. Zeus gazed at her "Why so much interest in this man?" "He was a pure man, he had a pure heart and he did not deserve to die such a terrible death, it was not his time to die" she had never spoken about anyone this way before and Zeus knew this he became compassionate of her it was almost pathetic. "What do you suggest I do?" he said calmly. "Give Troy a second chance, we them new life, spare them from the doom they perceptibly did not deserve." "New life?" Zeus questioned and agreed instantly. "Very well your Prince Hector will be given a second chance, but you do know this will change everything" "Yes" "This may turn to be something they cannot handle then to who will you plead?" "Perhaps Apollo will help you?" Artemis was pleased now everything that was would, not be, and what would not be, would be." Life would rewind 15 years before the Trojan War, all would continue as it had been 15 years before the tragedy. Time would wind back for Troy, no; time would wind back for Hector.
Let me know what you think be honest. I had to set some background in the story; therefore, I made this chunk Ch.1. The story is still HectorBriseis format, but I must get some stuff out of the way before getting down to the chocolate filling. By the way I will mix true facts, with altered ones (for some reason people always wonder.)
There will always be a note from me in the beginning and/or end of chapter.
