Chapter 3: Realizations (Odysseus)
"Achilles you mean to say that.....you don't remember troy!? Anything or.....anyone in troy!?"
Odysseus was shocked.
How could he not remember!? The god's must have cursed him. Achlles should never have ransacked apollo's temple!
Odysseus thoughts were interrupted by Achilles words.
"you joke my friend! Troy?! Why would I fight against troy?! And make allies with your king! I would rather have the pleasure killing him! Than receiving a priceless price!"
Achilles last words were full of venom. Somehow his hatred for that man has reach its point that even him could not understand.
What could that pig had done to him that angered him so?
Achilles was lost in thoughts that he did not notice odysseus sat himself in a chair. This little silence was gone when odysseus spoke once again.
"do not anger yourself of dead people, Achilles. For king agammemnon is no longer a king! He is just one of the many dead people. Killed by the mighty Achilles! You are now facing the king of Greece.....and of troy."
Achilles was indeed shock. He had missed the one moment which he had been craving for. But, upon hearing that he has killed that pig with his own hands, which he did not know how. But, he was happy that he will no longer see him again. He smiled or rather smirked at his friend or shall we say king. He stood up and said.
"Well now...king! What will you do with your land and your woman's? surely now! You would not be greedy and left me some. Besides there are thousand's of woman in every land! I am quite sure that they will not fit n your chambers!"
Achilles laughed at this. But, odysseus seems not to be fond of this hs eyes were filled with sorrow. He stood up in front of Achilles and told him
"It is to early for laughter Achilles. Since you have not remembered anything about troy then let me remind you that....you're cousin patroclus has gone with you."
Achilles was silent. He's eyes were a little wet. Turning his head every now and then looking for his cousin.
"where....is he?" He finally said
Odysseus looked at the ground. It was really hard telling miserable news like this to the great Achilles. His eyes were a little wet too. Remembering little patroclus who just wants to make Achilles proud. Finally he spooked up.
"He...is dead."
Achilles was full of rage now he punched the walls so hard that his knuckles begun to bleed. But, at that moment nothing seems to hurt more than knowing his dear cousin's death. His eyes were full of rage. He will kill all Trojans that has ever set foot in troy. Before he could leave, Odysseus stood and spook up.
"You have already avenged him, Achilles. You have killed mighty hector! The one who killed your cousin, the cousin of your lover, briseis."
Surely he would remember this girl. It was because of her that Achilles gave up immortality. But, he was wrong the looks Achilles gave him could let one mighty warrior fall to his knees and shiver with fear. His voice was full of venom.
"I will kill all of hector's family! Even that...briseis! Lover or not they shall pay!" With that he left the tent leaving oddyseus shocked at his words. When Achilles reached the river he fall to his knees and mourned for his cousin, patroclus.
"I will avenge you dear cousin. I will not rest till every Trojan dies at the tip of my sword!"
Achilles stood up proud at his word's but when he turned he was speechless before him was.......
(paris)
Paris turned around looking at everyone's faces. He's last gaze was Helen. He stood there staring at her. Then he finally spoke up.
"I will talk to this...greek king. I will return. "
He gave Helen one last look and left. The soldiers were beside him. He finally came to a halt. In front of him was the king. He was old he's eyes were tired but he kept a proud face...just like his father. Paris could fell hot tears forming in his eyes he dismissed wiped them right away. The king smiled warmly at him. Perhaps this king won't bring trouble. Paris thoughts were interrupted when the king finally spoke up.
"Greetings prince of troy! I have just saw your beloved kingdom. Forgive me, for I have not come sooner."
Paris was confused. What does he mean not coming soon?
"forgive my rudeness. I am king Antelous! When I heard that troy was attacked I summoned all of my men. But, I see we are too late. Forgive us. Since, there is no need of our swords perhaps a helping hand. Your people can fit my boat we can sail back to Greece, back to my kingdom."
Paris was still in a state of shock why would this men want to help him? Is it a trick? Paris stood proud and spoke up
"why do you help your enemy's? why not your fellow man?"
There was a flash in King antelous eyes. Paris knew this was to good to be true. But, then maybe his wrong.
"I rather might spear him than face him! That men knows nothing except his greed and fortune! My blood boiled upon hearing his name. but, now it has eased knowing that he is dead."
Paris then understood. He then remembered that he has not introduced himself.
"Forgive me, my king! I am paris prince of troy. I welcome you to what is left in troy. Come eat, drink and rest."
King Antelous looked at his surrounding's. there were little survivors.
"Perhaps it is better if we leave now for Greece. What is your decision?"
Paris thought hard about this. If they were to go to Greece there will be food and plenty of comfort. Here, they find nothing. Then paris thought about Helen and their coming child. He looked at the king and said.
"Give my people time to board your ship."
Paris bowed and left. He asked other soldiers to let the others pack and board the ship. Before he entered there he took a deep breath and went inside. Everyone stood up immediately waiting what has befallen upon them.
"Pack your things we are going to Greece!"
Briseis heart stopped for a moment. It seems so hard for her to breathe. The place that could bring back painful memories.
"No!"
A firm voice spoke up. It was andromache her eyes were filled with tears.
"I will never set foot upon that land. the land were my enemy came from. The land who gave birth to a monster to kill my husband!"
Andromache was in a verge of tears. Briseis, however felt angered by her word's. Achilles was no monster! She closed her eyes and bit her lips. she will not show her anger she must not. Paris stepped forward and hugged andromache.
"Please, andromache! For astyanax....you know this is what hector would like you to do."
Andromache looked up at paris and thought about this. Slowly she nodded her head. Paris was relieved. After that they packed their things and were ready to board the ship. Everyone else was already aboard. They took one last look and started climbing the stairs. Briseis stayed there a little while feeling the soft wind. Goodbye my beloved, Achilles! One day we will meet! She then started to climbed the stairs. When they were all aboard Paris introduced each one of them to King Antelous and his kind heart. So, they sailed away far from their nightmares. Never to see troy again. Or will they?
