Chapter 2: Awakening
A/N: I want to thank Penny Lane 1776 for telling me who's the real goddess of love! And for liking the story! Oh! And you're the first reviewer by the way. And before I forget, the "looming obstacle" is probably another girl! Well, here's chapter 2!
Aphrodite was sitting in her white, marbled throne. Looking down to see the happening's of the world. Something or someone had just caught her attention during the war of troy. All the time her eyes were focused on a particular couple. She admired how one could hate such being love them so much. After the war she was saddened to see that they were separated. But after all she was a goddess and she would do anything to get them back. But, with a little challenge.
(back at Odysseus)
They have finally arrived Greece. Achilles was sent immediately to the doctor. Odysseus was pacing around worried what to say to Achilles mother, Thetis. What would I say to her? This was not meant to be! He supposed to die! Well...it's not like I want him dead. But...Odysseus stopped pacing and tilted his head. I must do it! Finally, Odysseus walked with his head his head high. He finally reached the house of thetis. Before he could knock. A voice came
"Come in!" it was thetis. Odysseus obeyed and entered. He saw thetis seating in a chair making necklaces.
"Odysseus, I welcome you to my home! Sit down. Tell me child how does my son fair?"
Odysseus shifted a little in his chair. It was kind a weird having a goddess as a mother. Especially when she knows everything.
"His injuries are serious, my lady. But he will be fine....but it bother's me how you said that he will perish in that very land. Yet, he did not."
Odysseus looked at thetis. Waiting for an answer. She seemed to be troubled about this. Her eyes were gazed upon the shells that she just made. Slowly she turned to odysseus and smiled.
"Dear odysseus, god's and goddesses' have their own ways. They are very unpredictable. You'd be surprise how they change plans with a wave of their hand!"
Odysseus sat their with silence. Thinking of thetis' words. True, the gods are very unpredictable. Before he could mutter another word the door burst open. Their was a child their at the age of 9 or so. He was breathing loudly.
"M..my lord! The great...Achilles has awoken!"
With a blink of an eye odysseus was out of the house.
(paris and briseis)
They could see the light now. They were finally out of the filthy cave. Upon seeing them all people cheered and both were welcomed by their people. Helen, upon seeing paris run to him and kissed him. Andromache was happy to see briseis safe. She came to her and hugged her and did the same to paris. After ther little reunion they all returned to their. Which all four royal people shared including astyanax. So all in all they were five. Food was brought to them and so they started to feast silently. Until paris broke the silence.
"Has anyone seen the boy I asked to lead the people? I want to thank him for a job well done!"
Helen was the one who answered him.
"I saw him outside with his father not far from our tent...paris?"
Paris looked up to see his wife was nervous. She was long at the ground and looked at paris n the eye. Then she continued.
"I....i am with child"
Helen smiled at paris. Everyone was stunned. Paris slowly stood up taking Helen with him and hugged her tightly, swaying her around.
"oh, Helen you made me the most happiest man alive!"
Andromache watch the two she was very happy for both of them. Yet, her heart ached for the memories of her beloved husband, hector. She remembered when she was pregnant and told hector. He was very happy and excited he hugged her like what paris did to Helen. As the two broke apart slowly, andromache came to Helen and hugged her.
"you are very lucky child! For now on you should be really careful! That child is going to be a very lucky child! She has a beautiful kind mother and.......a father"
Andromache cried after this. Helen comforted her. Briseis looked down for she was guilty. Guilty for loving the man who killed her people, her cousin who was like a brother to her and astyanax father. A tear escaped her eyes and she quickly wped them away. Pars notice this and tried to change the subject. Too much tears were shed today. But before he could say something a soldier entered the tent he looked afraid and he said
"my prince, there's a greek king with thousand of armies. He wants to speak to you."
Everyone was shocked....
What would a greek be dong here?! Haven't they have enough?!
(Odysseus)
He entered Achilles tent to see that he was awake. But, he seemed confused. Odysseus was happy to see him. He knelt beside him.
"how fair you my friend?"
Achilles groaned and sat up.
"I pain everywhere. Yet, i don't now how?"
Odysseus was a little confused about this.
"what do you mean? Did you not see who shot you back at troy?"
Now Achilles was even more confused.
"troy? Since when did we fought against troy? Cause i don't remember anything about that. And I am quite sure I still have my memory. I do remember my last battle with the greeks. It was against the thessalonian's. or are you just playing with me old friend? Now, where's my cousin patroclus?"
Odysseus was shocked a lot. How could he not remember the war!?....or even his own cousin's death?
