21 DEPRESSED. Sequel to TERRIFIED. (single drabble)
Hephaestion was depressed but it was not due to those five fatidic words; it was because he had failed his king and he had always promised to himself that that was the last thing he would dare do.
He felt depressed because he had run away and hid for five days as if he were a child instead of a General in the greatest Army of that time.
He felt depressed because he had denied Alexander the chance to talk to him and clear the air between them.
Hephaestion was depressed but determined to put an end to that situation.
