A queen of Greece ?
Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot.
"Are you Athena?" I asked. A stupid question, but I had to make sure.
"Yes, Helen. I am the goddess of wisdom, Athena. I thought, 'My plea?'
"You wished for me to be able to guide you. And I shall. I have watched you since a year ago and I know of your tale."
"Please then, help me."
"You used to be rather fearless, Helen. Now you fear everything. How does one help, when you completely lack courage?" I looked to the ground for a moment, then suddenly she said, "But I should help." I smiled. She held my hand and visions appeared. I saw myself with a spear and in armour. A man stood on my right and Clytemnestra on my left. Menelaus and Agamemnon lay dead on the ground.
"I understand what I should do, Athena. But who is that Golden-haired man?" The man was good looking and well built, almost certainly a warrior.
"Achilles." I searched my memory for such a person but still did not know who he was. At that moment, Athena disappeared as she said," Use your beauty well with your mind." I turned around just as I heard a knock on the temple's door.
"Queen Helen, may we leave?"
"Yes." As I walked back to the palace, I plotted. I had to use my beauty with my mind, just as Athena said. The first thing I had to do was to find out who Achilles was. He might be well-known or perhaps, unknown. I wouldn't know. After being separated from the world for such a long time, I had no idea who the heroes now were. I also had to get Menelaus smitten with me once more. He seemed to have lost interest in me after I had rejected his advances once and again. Nowadays, he practically had to jump on me to have me make love with him. I inwardly shuddered at the thought of actually being willing to lay with him, but I knew I had to make tonight the best night of his life.
When I got back to the palace, I immediately headed to my chamber. I washed my entire self, added many ornaments and all. Then I headed to Menelaus' work chamber. I walked to him and put a slender arm on his back. He spun around.
"Helen?" I smiled the best I could.
"Would you care for a drink with me tonight?"
"Are you well, Helen? It is not your usual self to invite me for a drink, but why not?" He slid an arm around my waist. I breathed a deep breath and said, "I've already got everything ready." He held me like one of his whores when we walked to the chamber.
"Here's some fine wine." I poured him cup after cup. Drunk, he naturally let his animal instincts take over. He almost tore my dress while trying to undress me. I felt rather wretched the whole time, but I knew, in my heart, that it would all be worth it.
Not too bad, I suppose. Please review so I can see what to improve on!
