Thanks for reading, if anyone has any questions for me you know what to do. I'll try to explain the methods of my madness. Please pointout any obvious errors.

Tell me, Oh Muses, daughters of gentle Memory,
of Discords trick, and Cruel Aphrodite,
Apollo's chosen city and the Plotting son of Atreus.

Tell me of Brave Achilles, and of Noble Hektor Beautiful Helen and Favored Paris,
Crafty Odysseus and war-like Menelaus.

I invoke thee!

The seemingly young woman was seated on a rock near the river, smiling to herself. Her long dark hair catching in the wind as she waited.

Wheels were turning, and plots were hatching, and the players were playing their parts beautifully. She almost felt like a muse. Who knew that a simple phrase could cause such strife? Present company excluded of course, for who better to judge strife than Discord herself? She liked to live up to her name. Shifting on her perch, she looked around the bank for any sign ; swiftly glancing with her cold grey eyes.

Who would have known that Zeus would have been so smart? Passing of the decision to a mere mortal. To a simple young shepard from Mount Ida. Young Paris, a shepard who just happened to be the abandoned son of Priam, King of Troy. It would have been interesting to see him make his decision. How would he choose which goddesses he wanted to displease? Any combination would be far from pleasant. Whatever happened he would have at least two angry immortals after him.

Simply delightful.

"I hope you are very pleased with yourself." Spoke a voice from behind her.

"You know I am." She gently smiled.

"You should be dear sister. It was a trick worthy of Hermes himself. I for one would not be surprised to find him smitten with jealousy." Replied the man who now leaned on a nearby tree, he was as dark and fair as his sibling.

"This i s an unusual amount of flattery, Ares. Even for you." Eris gently raised an eyebrow. "What is it your scheming?"

"Ah, fair one," The god chuckled," If only you realized how advantageous this is for me"

"Am I correct in assuming Paris has made his decision?" Discord spoke quickly rising and moving towards her twin.

Smiling broadly at first, then throwing his head back, he laughed. Fire sparked in his eyes and she could feel the delight rolling of him in waves. "Indeed he has. It is too bad you did not stay to watch. After much deliberation" Ares spoke tauntingly, "Alexandros awarded your apple to gentle, kind Aphrodite"

Now it was time for Eris to laugh. "Brother mine, I realize your feelings for her, but gentle? Kind? What did the conniving bitch offer him?"

"What indeed" Mused Ares, "Have you ever heard of the daughter of Leda?"

"The one she bore for Zeus?"

"Indeed. Helen, fairest woman.... Mortal women" he corrected himself "Of the age."

"Of course I have, I am no simpleton" She snapped her reply "Only a fool...wait!" She stopped suddenly. "You surely cannot mean? But she is wed to the King of Sparta!" she gasped"

"I do" the God of War gleefully replied" Dearest Aphrodite has promised her new favorite the hand of the fairest woman alive. Married or unmarried, it makes no differance to her."

"But, Paris is soon to be reclaimed, and join his house in Troy."

"And that brings me to why I am so pleased with you my sister! When Menelaus finds his dear Queen is off with the peasant Prince of Troy..."

"He will go to his brother, and those who took the oath"

"And Greece will march on Troy. War dear one, War. and with war comes.."

"Us." Excitement was on the faces of both immortals, "It's time to have some fun."
