Eyes That See Into Infinity

by Nelia

After losing a fight, Alexander is whisked away to an unknown place. He returns 6 months later, as a different person. But maybe not as different as one might think. Hephaistions POV (more or less).

2. Prologue: Six Months

Chapter 1: Six Months!

Six Months!

Hephaistion couldn't believe it has been six months since the last time he saw Alexander.

Six months since his father, Philip, suddenly showed up, took in the scene before him and took Alexander away without explaining when he, would see Alexander again. He is King and does not need to explain himself but the experience still left all of them confused and worried. Hephaistion more then others, though Ptolemy might come close.

He couldn't believe it has been six months.

Yet looking at Alexander standing in the arena across from him, it looked like he has been away for longer. He no longer looked like the boy his father took away, but a man. He looked taller, though he doesn't seem to have grown much, he also looked broader and showed more muscle then before. He no longer fidgeted when he had to stand still for long periods of time and looked straight ahead, focused on what had to come. He did not move when his opponent stood in front of him and Hephaistion wondered how this came to be.
