Moonrider: I'm glad you like it so far and don't worry, I will continue, it might take me a while to put up each chapter, but I will try and keep it constant.

TriGemini: Jed, the boy who climbed in Alix's window when the Greeks invaded the city will tell Paris that he saw Anton and Alix being bordered onto the Greek ships, but that's not until next chapter. I hope this chapter answers some of your other questions though.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Troy. I only own the characters I have made up.

When they reached the ships, Anton and Alix were locked in a small room under the ship's deck, with no way to get out.

"What do we do now?" Alix asked Anton, not really expecting any helpful answer.

"I don't know. I guess we just wait until we dock." Anton replied, as he searched the empty room for any possible way of getting out of it. "I can't find any way out."

They sat on the floor next to each other silently and as the gentle rocking of the ship went over the waves of the ocean, they both soon fell to sleep.

The ship jerked to a sudden stop at the dock in Greece, waking Alix up. Anton was already awake and looking out the small window.

"What's going on?" Alix asked as she peered out the window as well.

"We've docked. I'm guessing we're in Greece."

They heard a voice outside the room. "Open the door." A key turned in a lock and the door opened to reveal Joseph, the captain of the army, with four other men.

"Bring them." He instructed the other men.

As they got off the ship, they saw the huge city of Greece in front of them. They were taken to the palace. The palace was big and empty. There were symbols engraved in the walls and hanging on the walls in paintings and wall hangings. All the symbols were of the same thing, a snake coiled around a small bird.

"Look at the walls." Alix whispered to Anton, "What do you think they mean?"

"The symbol represents those in the king and his family. Everyone in the king's family wears a ring with the symbol on it show who they are when they leave the city." Mem said before Anton could answer her. "Now," he said turning to the guards, "Take them to the dungeon, I will deal with them in the morning."

"Yes My Lord." Replied one of the guards.

In the middle of the night Mem grew restless as he dreamt of the day he was told of the child of Achilles, and its power.

A bright light appeared in front of Mem while he was in his bed chamber one night.

A strange sound came from the light, like someone was talking but the words couldn't be made out.

"Who's there? Show yourself!" Mem demanded squinting to see into the light.

The light disappeared and a figure emerged in front of him.

"I am Ares." The man said.

"The God of War? But what does the God of war want here?"

"I came to give you some information that you may find useful." Ares replied.

"What would that be?" Mem asked.

"I will tell you something that will help to rule and control the world. But before I tell you, you must agree to let me have control of your army, to let me call upon them, whenever I wish. Do we have a deal, King of Greece?" Ares proposed.

Mem thought about this for a moment. He was a man who would do anything for power and glory, and would give up just about anything to get it. After a moment of silence he said, "Very well, I will let you call on my army whenever you wish. Now what information do you have for me that could help me rule the world?"

"There is a child. The child of the one you call Achilles."

"Wait a minute. Achilles never had a child."

"Oh but he did, King."

"When? Where is this child?"

"Do you remember the battle Greece waged on Troy?" Ares asked, Mem nodded and Ares continued, "During the battle, Achilles met a Trojan princess, whom he rescued from the savages of your army. During the time they were together, they fell in love, and produce a child. Not long after the war was over, this woman gave birth to a child. This child, like Achilles, was given a gift, a gift that can help you to rule to world."

"What? You can't be serious!" Mem paused for a moment then said, "Then this child is in Troy now?"

"Yes, but that is all the information I will give you. The rest you must find out on your own. Until we meet again, King of Greece." With that said, Ares vanished in a puff of smoke and the bright light surrounding him faded and disappeared, leaving Mem standing there thinking about his new found knowledge.

Mem woke up as the sun started to shine through the window. After breakfast he went to the throne room.

"What do you want to do about the children from Troy, My Lord?" Joseph asked him as he sat on the throne.

"Bring them to me." Mem instructed.

When Joseph returned, he had two other guards, one had Alix and the other had Anton.

Mem approached Anton unsheathing his sword.

"Now boy, I want to know, what is your gift? What kind of power do you have that can take over the world of men?"

"What? What are you talking about?" Anton asked confusedly.

"Don't play dumb with me, boy. I know about you, about your gift. He Gods themselves told me. Now tell me or I will kill your friend here." He said pointing his sword at Alix's throat. She tried to pull away from it but the guard was holding her too tightly.

"Look, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what the Gods told you but I don't have any special power." Anton said.

"Are you or are you not the son of Achilles?" Mem asked, his voice starting to sound annoyed.

"Achilles? No, I am the son of Paris and Helen." Anton said.

"Ares! You lied to me! You will regret crossing my path." Mem yelled to the ceiling.

With no waring a voice thundered through the room.

"MEM YOU ARE A FOOL!" A bright light suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Ares. Did you think I wouldn't find out?"

"You are a foolish man, King. Don't you see that this boy is telling the truth? He is the child of Paris and Helen."

"What? But you told me Achilles son was born to a Trojan Princess. There was one other boy, but he was too old to be who you said he was."

"No, King. I simply told you that Achilles had a child. I did not state if it was a boy or a girl." Ares explained.

"Then it must be you," Mem said pointing at Alix. She looked up at him, trying not to look as scared as she felt. "You are the child of Achilles?"

"Well done, King. You have found the child I speak of, although it took you long enough." I look forward to getting my part of the deal, when next we meet, King of Greece. Ha ha ha." Just as suddenly as it appeared, the light disappeared and Ares was gone.

"What was that?" Joseph asked.

"That was our answer." Mem replied. "Now, what to do with you." He said to Anton. "You know what; I think I'll kill you."

"What?" Anton said.

"No!" Alix said at the same time.

They both tried to struggle free of their captors as Mem lifted his sword. Alix was struggling as hard as she could and got out of the guard's grip. As she moved away from him, he grabbed her by the arm and tried to pull her back; she kicked him in the leg and ran towards the guard who was holding Anton. She pushed the guard as hard as she could. He lost his footing and fell to the floor, taking Anton with him. Mem didn't have any time to stop himself before he stabbed Alix right in the stomach.
