Chapter 9: A New Home
(Achilles)
It has been days now since I was locked up in their small dungeon. I have not talk to anyone aboard this ship. A certain girl would come and bring me something to eat and drink. I would ask her a question she would just turn and leave. Their dungeon is not as small as what I have witnessed from other boats. It was dark and nothing more. I long to see the sun again. I could smell sea water from the outside. I have not a clue where are we to go. I just sit there alone....thinking. Thinking of the woman who has captured my heart, her smile, her laughter....her smell. I have dreamed of her once, no, every night. I closed my eyes picturing her. How I longed for her. How I wish that I could just hold her tight. How I wish I could just take back when I have hurt her, when I almost choke her to death just because of my anger. When I have killed her honorable cousin, Hector. I should have listen to Eudorus when he told me it was not wise to desecrate the sun god. Now I am cursed slowly the sun god is making me suffer. But I will not give up on Brisies. I will find her even when it means my death. I could hear the creaking of the door as it opened. Then I could see the captain entering of this boat. She came near me in her hands she was juggling the key. A hope stirred into me. She was now standing in front of me.
"I have not yet received the name of my captor yet."
I said calmly. I could see burning hatred in her eyes. In her hands she was clutching the key tightly.
"Bring her in!"
I was confused when she said that. Whatever does she mean by "her"? can it be...I stood up as fear was plastered in my features. But my fear left as quickly when I saw a little girl, brown straight hair and little black eyes. Behind her where two older girls. The other was holding the child while the other was holding a knife. I felt enrage when I knew what they were trying to do.
"What is the meaning of this?!"
The captain stood there triumph in her eyes. She was smirking at me.
"You don't want to see this child die before your very eyes just because of you. Do you Achilles? If you would just listen to us attentively then no one would be harmed as promise."
I felt my anger rise. How could they use a child! A child that still held innocence in her face!
"What do you want me to do?"
"Simple! Just step out of the ship and straight to the palace where you will meet the queen."
"Where are we?"
"No questions Achilles. Now go!"
She had unlocked the door to my dungeon. I step out and walked towards the door. The sun was shining brightly that it hurt my eyes. I have closed my eyes and continued to walk. Once outside I slowly opened my eyes. I surveyed my surroundings. I was still in the ship. It seems that we have landed in a small unknown land and in the center there stood a marbled palace. I took a deep breath and proceeded to the palace. Awaiting my doom.
(Briseis)
Finally! Land! It felt so good to feel the hot sand beneath my foot. I closed my eyes and breath in the smell of the breeze. The smell of the sea. Suddenly, I could feel a pain in my heart. The smell has reminded me of the days back at troy. Back at the shores of troy. I touched my sea shell necklace that Achilles has gave me. Then I remembered the words he told me when he gave me this necklace.
"If I have hurt you that is not what I wanted"
I could feel a tear rolled down my eyes. But, I quickly wiped them away. I could feel a heavy hand at my shoulders. I turned around to see who it was. It was Mynes. He looked with a worried face.
"Briseis, are you alright?"
"I am fine, Mynes. I thank you for your concern"
He smiled at me and I too him. His eyes seems to go right through me. I felt rather uncomfortable. But I was thankful enough when one of his companions called him. He said his apologies then left. I sighed in relief when Andromache and Helen appeared at my side. It was Helen who spoke first.
"I did not know you have feelings toward the gentlemen who accepted us in his land."
I looked at Helen confused she was smirking at me. Then I understood who this gentlemen she was talking about. I laughed at her words.
"Who! You mean Mynes?!"
I laughed even harder. Helen seems not to understand what was so funny just looked at me worried.
"Pls. Helen! He is just a friend!"
Helen was about to say something when Andromache interrupted her.
"You should not stand too close to Mynes, Briseis. I know how my brother works."
Both I and Helen looked at Andromache confused. It was I who spoke.
"You mean...you and Mynes are brothers and sisters."
Androamche seemed to get annoyed at this statement. She sighed and said.
"Has paris not told you about this?"
I looked at Helen and she looked at me and back to Andromache. Shaking our heads. Andromache again sighed an irritating sigh and said...
"Yes we are brothers and sisters. And this is my homeland. And no we are not close."
Helen and I just stood there shock. This is Andromache's homeland?. Andromache just laughed at us and said..
"Come now! I desire to see my father again. He will be proud to see his strong grandchild."
There were chariots that has arrived. Me and Helen has shared one. I look to survey my surroundings.
"Is there something wrong, sister?
I looked to see Helen. She was worried at me. I just smiled at her assuring her everything is fine.
"I am fine...sister."
It felt kind a awkward to call Helen sister. I have only considered Andromache as such. But, I know I have to accept Helen as one as she has accepted me as her own. I continued then..
"I am just looking for Paris. If I remember quite well. He was with you."
"Paris is helping the others back at the ship. He has ordered me to go with Andromache."
Then we rode out to meet our new home. The place where we would live. But, I shall never call it home. For troy shall always be my home.
(Achilles)
I have entered the palace now. It was all made of marble. But something disturbed me more. There were no people. I stop in a halt when I saw two heavily guarded women where standing in front of me. There back facing a large door. They opened the door and to my surprise there all stood all of the people or rather all women. In the very center was a women who was dressed in a very fancy dressed. Her arms and neck were decorated with gold. (Narrator)
The woman danced her way to Achilles. She was eyeing him every features. She circled around him and said in lusty voice.
"I welcome you, Achilles. To my homeland. Forgive my sister if she had mistreated you. She has this kind of hobby ever since she was a child."
"It's not a hobby."
Out of the corner the captain came out.
"Adrynna dear! Welcome back!"
Achilles looked at the captain before him. So, my captor is the great Adrynna.
Adrynna just growled and left. The queen turns her attention back to Achilles. Her body was already touching his.
"Now, shall we proceed? I am by the way Queen Dennia. But, you could call me anything you want."
With that she walk back to her throne and with a clap of her hands several servants appeared.
"Take him to his room"
Achilles took one last look at the queen. Her hair was tied back neatly. She has brown skin and brown eyes. But her eyes shall never match Bresies' he then followed the servants to his room.
