Alexandria walked down the beach with Patroklus, they continued walking until they were out of the sight of the Greeks ships. Alexandria sat down on the sand and ran her fingers through it.

"Patroklus, there is something I must tell you."

Patroklus looked to her, he noticed a slight change in her voice. She no longer sounded like the boy he thought she was,

"What is it Alexandro? Please tell me." Patroklus sat down on the sand beside her.

"You must promise to tell no-one. Especially Odysseus..." Patroklus nodded gently.

Alexandria reached towards Patroklus and took his hand in hers. She brought his hand to her lips and kissed it softly.

"I'm not who you think I am Patroklus. Odysseus is my brother, and I am no man. My name is Alexandria and I am Odysseus' sister..." She looked down unsure what his reaction was going to be.

"I knew there was something strange about you Alexandro...Alexandria. There was something about you from the very first moment I met you that didn't seem right" Patroklus looked to Alexandria who had now begun to cry, "Please don't cry fair princess."

Alexandria looked up to Patroklus who had reached over and wiped the tears from her eyes. She smiled, she was happy to have finally been able to tell someone. She knew she could trust Patroklus as much as she trusted her brother Odysseus. Alexandria stood and Patroklus followed suit.

"We must go back now, there are people coming!" she nodded over to the group of Ithacan soldiers heading towards them.

Alexandria made her way back across the beach towards there tent. Patroklus followed closely behind her. He wished she had told him sooner but there was nothing he could have done about that now. Whether she had been man or woman he had fallen in love with her. He had loved her since the moment he met her. They entered the tent, Patroklus walked towards his bed and sat down. Alexandria walked to her own. It was time she showed him who she really was.
