"He is training. Why do you-"she cut Achilles off.
"No he isn't call for your men!" Serene started to rise and told a rushing Briseis to let her stand on her own.
"My men have left… there is commotion on the field" Achilles spare sword and ran.
"As I have feared…" Serene whispered. She ran into the battle. One of the Trojan soldiers saw her and held onto her, pulling her from the battle.
"Princess we've come for you!" he yelled.
"No! Where is Patroclus?!" Where?" she struggled against him, but then realized he probably didn't know what she was talking about.
"Achilles where is he?" Serene shouted.
"Princess he is fighting Prince Hector. I must get you from here" he started to pull her but then abruptly stopped. The hold on her loosened and she saw Eudorus pull his sword from the Trojan.
"What are you doing out here?" he shouted pulling her close.
"Point me in the direction of Achilles!" she said with a horrified look on her face.
"No! He is fighting Prince-" Serene cut him off.
"No! He isn't, that isn't Achilles –" Eudorus stopped her.
"Stop interrupting me, let me take you back to camp!" he grabbed her arm. She struggled against him, but he just pulled her closer and held her tight.
"Please! It's not Achilles, it is PATROCLUS!" she said the name really loud, drawing attention to Eudorus and herself. Serene saw the opening in the crowd and used it to get to Patroclus and Hector, pulling Eudorus with her.
She ran right into the battle and jumped on Patroclus, successfully knocking him onto the ground and saving his neck from Hector's sword. This fall knocked off the helmet on Patroclus' head just as Achilles came through with Briseis. Briseis screamed as she looked down; Serene looked down and to her horror she saw blood coming from Patroclus' throat. She soon realized it was a shallow wound. Hector pulled her off the boy and held her close. Everyone was in a standstill.
"Hector!" both Briseis and Serene called in response. Serene broke off from Hector and helped Patroclus stand.
"This fight is over for today" Achilles called out, Hector and Odysseus agreed.
Achilles kept Briseis close to him while both Eudorus and Hector reached for my hands.
"The princesses are to come with me" Hector voiced.
"No" Eudorus and Achilles said/ the men were already retreating to their own side of the battlefield. Eudorus pulled me to him, and I could see the tension building and the men stopped retreating. Everyone was waiting to see what happened.
"Eudorus, Briseis, Patroclus, Achilles, I will leave with Hector. It's ok I will keep my promise Briseis. Bye" Serene declared.
