There they stood. The princes of Troy, and Troys High Princess. With goblets in their hands, standing before King Menelaus and his wife Helen. Menelaus was holding his wine filled goblet up, toasting to his guests, The Princes Hector and Paris, and the High Princess Electra. Oh how Electra shined that day, her eyes dancing with pleasure. She even outshone Helen, who was said to be the most beautiful mortal on earth.

"We've had our conflicts before, its true. We've faught many battles, Sparta and Troy. And faught well !" Menelaus says as his drunken soldiers cheered. Hector and Electra raised there goblets smiling. Paris however was staring at Helen, and for a moment, they're eyes met.

"But i've always admired your father. Priam is a good man, a good king. I respected him as an adversary and now as an ally." Menelaus shouts. Everyone cheers, including Hector and Electra. But Paris does not. He is too busy staring at the glorious Helen.

"Hector, Paris, young Electra, come, stand, drink with me." Menelaus says to his guests. Hector and Electra stand, but Paris does not. Electra nudges her uncle, and then Paris stands up. "Let us drink to peace."

Electra, Paris, and Hector, all raise there goblets and nod.

"Peace between Troy and Sparta !" Shouts Electra with a smile. "Well said little princess." Says Menelaus to her.

Menelaus, Hector, and Paris drink merrily while Electra takes only a few sips and converses with Helen. Electra was half drunk but she hadn't lost her senses as most men tend to do.

"May the gods keep the wolves in the hills and our women in our beds!" shouts the already drunken Spartan King. All the men cheer and shout "To Sparta ! To Troy !"

Music plays, servants come to re fill goblets. One of Helen's handmaiden lead several attractive young women into the Banquet Hall. The warriors howl at the woman and Electra stands beside Helen, a disgusted look on her face. "How these woman stand these sexists pigs, I shall never know." Electra told Helen. Helen smiled and nodded and said something else then Electra laughed.

Menelaus then grabs Hector in a big bear hug, Hector returned the hug. Menelaus drinks some more with Hector and grabs a hold of his arm. "A strong arm. Thanks the gods we made peace -- i've seen to many of my soldiers struck down with this arm." Hector smiled and said "Never again, I hope."

"Only one man works a sword better than you. The son of Peleus, the Argonaut."

"Achilles." said Electra as she worked her way into the conversation.

"But I've heard storys of you as well, Princess. Its said that your stronger than Achilles. Is it true ?" Menelaus asked Electra.

"Yes. It is true. I have seen too many men die at my daughters mercy." Hector told Meneluas. "Nevermind that, we should not be thinking of War now." Menelaus said as he waved off Electra. Hector looked at her and noticed that she was angry but she went away anyways, and for this he was thankful.

"Now" Menelaus started as he pointed towards Polydora, "You see that one over there ? I picked her out espically for you. She's a little lioness." Polydora was staring at Hector openly. Menelaus grinned at her as she lowered her eyes and smiled. Helen notices this but goes right back to talking with Electra.

"Thank you, but my wife waits for me in Troy." Hector said humbly. "Wives are for breeding. For making little Princes, come, enjoy yourself tonight." Menelaus whispered in Hectro's ear. Helen then stood up and left the Reception Hall. Menelaus does not notice but Hector does.

"You make fine wine in Sparta!" shouted Electra so that everyone could hear her. Menelaus laughed merrily and drinks with both Electra and Hector. Paris leaves soon after in the same direction as Helen. Both Electra and Hector exchange worried glances. "Oh Paris .. don't ruin this for us. For what Grandfather Priam has worked so hard to build .." Electra thought to herself. A man, around her age, came up to her and asked for a dance. She quickly accepted and they danced till they tired. Electra's beautiful sun kissed brown locks swirled around her, making her seem like a demi - goddess. She glowed and radiated happiness. She quickly became the Belle of the Ball, and she always stole the show.

More and more wine gouards were becoming empty as the drunk Spartan and Trojan warriors sang battle songs. Polydora sat on Menelaus's lap and whispers something in his ear, making him laugh and pour some more wine. Electra was still dancing merrily with each soldier, one by one. Hector sat close by, talking to some Spartan generals, but he was clearly not happy that Paris still has not returned.

Later, everone moved to the courtyard and continues the party. Electra spots Paris trying to head back to his room. "Paris !" yell Electra loud enough so that he could hear her. Paris smiled and waved at her. Electra walks over to Paris and said "Best go to sleep now. We won't be sleeping on land for awhile."

"I have no trouble sleeping on the seas. The sea nymphs sing lullabies to me."

"And who sang you lullabies tonight ?"

Paris looked a little shocked but quickly regained his posture.

"Tonight was a fisherman's wife. Lovely little thing."

"I hope the fisherman doesn't catch you."

"He is more concerned with the fish."

Electra eyed him, now understanding everything. Anger boiled inside her but she remained calm.

"Do you why we're here, Paris ?

"Yes. For peace."

Electra inhaled as she saw her father head towards the pair. Hector felt some tension in the air and gave Paris a questioning look but Hector knew what they were talking about, he had been eavesdropping (sp?) on them.

"Paris, do you understand that King Menelaus is a powerful man and that his brother controls all the Greek armies ? Hector asked him.

"What does this have to do with a fisherman's wife?" Paris asked confused.

Electra sighed and cupped Paris' face in her hands.

"Paris, i love you. your my uncle. But if you do anything to endanger my precious Troy, i'll rip you pretty face from your pretty skull!" and with those words, she let go of his face and fumed off.

"Get some sleep Paris, tommrow we sail." Hector had said kindly and with that Hector too walked off. Electra's words still rang in his ears, and for a split second, he feared for his life.
