Chapter 5: Meetings
(Thetis)
Thetis was walking down the river looking for any interesting stuff. Somehow one thing did caught her attention. There she was the one who was supposed to be the cause of her son's death. She does admit the child is beautiful. Not far away there stood her son watching the girl with a wooden face but in his eyes there was a mixture of feelings.
Does he remember her?
Thetis thought her brows furrowed.
"no, he does not and he will not. Till the day he remembers her in his heart."
Thetis turned around to see Aphrodite smirking at her.
"you sure are full of surprises, Aphrodite! First you brought my son back here and then you appear just like that."
"I am after all the goddess of love and all things I do is just simply for love! How about you thetis? What have you been doing lately?"
"do not question me like that. You know how I am here. The question is what are "you" doing here?"
"I am here to answer your question"
Aphrodite looks at Achilles then at briseis. She smiled and turned back at thetis.
"are they not a perfect couple? There arrogance matches them both. But, I guess it's not what your son has fallen, is it not? He admires her courage and how she answers him. Never have I seen such hatred turned to ashes and renewed into love. That is why I have chosen them dear thetis."
"so, be it!"
Thetis whispered and with a strong wind Aphrodite was gone. Thetis looked up at the clear blue sky and said
"I will see you again, my friend"
(briseis)
They have finally arrived at the palace. it was beautiful. They finally came to a halt. King antelous stepped forward and gestured his hands everywhere.
"this my friends is my palace and no I don't rule this land...."
"but you wish!"
All of them turned their heads at the very corner there was a man he has blonde hair and brown eyes. He was a soldier or a prince. All the ladies gasped and gossiped. He was a very handsome man.
But no one could ever match Achilles face, his eyes, his blue eyes that seems to go right through me. Those hands that were used to kill oh so many of my people but touched me ever so softly.
Briseis was thinking of Achilles she did not notice that the new stranger has hugged the king and slowly approached her.
"A fine lady in such a fine land, your name my lady?"
The stranger has took hold of her hand. She felt enrage.
How could this men just touch me! No man has ever dared so! Not even....... Achlles. He never dared touch me when we first met. But I must know my place. I am no longer a priestess.
"briseis"
Briseis slowly slipped her hand away. The stranger just laugh at her actions.
"a lovely name for such a pure child!"
Briseis swallowed the knot in her throat. King antelous stepped forward and said "now be good mynes! I would like you to meet prince paris of troy! And his wife Helen. And these is andromache princess of troy, wife of hector, prince of troy! And I already see that you have just met briseis. She is also a princess of troy. Cousin to paris and hector! Neice of good king priam! I would like you all to meet prince mynes of...."
"troy?! Why travel so far with many of your people? Is there something amiss? And tell me why prince hector and king priam is not here to accompany you?"
Everyone was silent. Each one knew the reason the greeks........achilless A splash of guilt wash over briseis.
"Achilles!!! He's the one to be blamed for! He and his army! Because of him troy burned and priam.....and...hector are dead!"
It was andromache who answered mynes. She was cryng a lot holding astyanax in her arms who was wailing. Briseis felt enrage it was not Achilles fault! All he ever did was kill hector! It wasn't his fault at all! Briseis tears fell freely from her eyes she knew deep inside it was Achilles fault and his men.
"I see! It must have been a grate loss."
Paris was angered at his words. How dare he say such things with ease! Not even a touch of passion in his words! I will kill every village men of his. Then! He would know how we feel. Antelous seeing the flame in paris eyes decided to break the tension.
"yes, a very tragic thing to happen. But, we must forget about the past. Carry it within our hearts show everyone the future we all held and smile. For we can not return from the past and undo what has been done. Let us make our future as brightly as possible!"
Paris anger died down. Yes, if only I could undo what has been done. I would! But for now paris looked at Helen and she smiled at him. I must live for my people......for Helen.
"come now! We cleansed ourselves, eat and feast!"
(Achilles)
Achilles watched briseis walk to the palace. somehow he felt like running to her and hold her tight. He laughed at his own thoughts. People would think that the war has destroyed my brain.
"what are you laughing at Achilles?"
He turned around to see the girl was close to him....too close. He frowned and remembered he does not know her name.
"what is your name?"
"oh, Achilles do you not remember? It's natashia"
She said in a lusty voice. Batting her eyelashes. Achilles was disgusted at her own actions. He told her he must leave and left. He has finally entered his mother's tent and entered. He saw her sitting in her favorite chair.
"are you troubled my son?"
"mother....i need to know about this war"
"will you not tell me first of your fiancé?"
"Natashia is not my fiancé! I knew she was just boasting about it. Now, about the war"
"you will remember every bit of information you want in duo time"
"why not now?"
"because.....you will know"
Achilles was irritated in his mother's game. She always wants to play games with him. He left the tent infuriated. Thetis looked at where his son left. This better be a good game, Aphrodite.
(briseis)
Briseis left the feast. She went out to the gardens. The garden was lighted with candles she saw a small pond she kneeled down beside it. Looking at her reflection in the pond. Her face was clean once again, she was clean. Her bruises were healing fast and so are her scars. But, there will be one scar that will never heal. The loss of Achilles. It had made a big scar in her heart. How could I hate such man yet love him so. I have betrayed my country by doing this. But I can not dismiss this feeling. But I must!
She was still looking down at her reflection then she saw another reflection. Her heart stopped at seeing the reflection. It was Achilles. She closed her eyes.
"why must you torment me?"
"am I tormenting you by my appearance?"
"your tormenting me with just your name."
"why?"
"the dead can never walk again"
Achilles laughed at her words. His curiosity on her was growing. she made him feel different....weak.
"are you saying I am just an illusion"
"yes"
Achilles knelt beside her and lifted her chin. Achilles heart stopped for a moment seeing how her beauty matches a goddess. Briseis breathing stopped. His touch was so real and his eyes seems to go through her again.
"are you really alive? Are you really Achilles?"
