This is my first Troy fanfiction. I loved the movie and might I say Orlando was so hot. I GOT TO SEE HIM NAKED!! To some that might not be a big deal, but it is for me. Anywho, this is songfic and I think this song goes great with this story.

Don't own Troy nor "This is War" by Smile Empty Soul.

/"I'm just a normal man
I wouldn't hurt nothing at all
but here we are
Our leaders have a plan
I'd only kill if it's for them
now here we are/

Hector walked threw the city of Troy and smiled at all the kids and women walking around, buying food for dinner. They reminded him of his family. His wife and child who are at home, asleep from a hard days work. His father was still working on the war that was about to take place and his brother, just sitting at home with girls all around him.

/I drove in a car and flew in a plane
to come to your house and kick your door in
Now it's down to this, it's just you and me
I'll blow your fucking head off, for my country/

He stopped at the gate of Troy and just stared at it, like it was going to come alive and kill everyone. Which it would. He's been having these dreams of the enemies breaking into Troy and killing the innocents just so they could have the city and army. He knew what lay beyond the gates and down by the water. The eneimes are plotting their attack and it would soon be time for another war. He also knew who was there too. Achillies. (did I spell his name right?)

/I go to church and tithe
I go to work in a suit and tie
but this is war
I'm really not sure why
but the T.V. says that you were wrong
Now here we are/

Why did this have to happen? All he wanted to do was live a peacefull life with his wife and child. All because of Paris, is this war starting. He had to take that Helen girl away and now this is war to fight. Fight for what he doesn't care about. He couldn't stay mad at Paris for to long anyway. He knew the rule of being a big brother. Protecting the little brother from harm. He just doesn't know why this war is happening and he just wants it to stop.

/My feet hurt from the sand
but still I march on gun in hand
casue this is war
This isn't what I'd planned
I wanted to be so much more
but this is war."/

Now he finds himself standing in front of Achillies. All because he killed his cousin on accident. He knew he would die and he wasn't afraid. He said his good-bye's to his father, family, and brother. He just wished there was something else to do instead of fighting. He walked across the sand and stopped in front of Achillies. Soon, one of them would leave this ground alive while the other lays dead at their feet, waitting to be taken home to their family for burial. But only one thing was on his mind as Achillies raised his sward. This was war.
