Author/Banshee Queen: (Lets out deep breath) "After writing a large chapter like that anyone would collapse & die. Anyway this is only a short chapter, short & boring. I apologize but this chapter didn't really have any work to "work" on if you get my meaning."

Chp 16: Achilles Is One Man & A Hot One At That

We see Agamemnon place two coins on his brother eyes. Soldiers are lined up then burnt on the pyres. The scene changes & we see Helen stitching up Paris' wound.

Paris: "You think I'm a coward."

Helen: "Damn straight."

Paris: "For once you're right honey. I knew his breath would kill me."

Helen: (Snores)

Paris: "Aaaah forget it."

Scene changes again & we see Agamemnon in his tent with Odysseus & Nestor talking.

Agamemnon: "They're laughing at me in Troy. Drunk with victory! They think I'll sail home at first light."

Odysseus: "Maybe we should."

Agamemnon: "Flee? Like a whipped dog! (Whispers) Ooooo I'd love to whip Hector!"

(Odysseus & Nestor exchange glances & spit out their food)

Odysseus: (While wiping his mouth) "The men believe we came here for your bro's bimbo. The dude died of gingivitis, we won't be needing her anymore."

Agamemnon: "My brother's blood still wets the sand & you insult him."

Odysseus: "It's no insult to say a dead man is dead & good riddance!"

(Agamemnon gives Odysseus the evil eye. Odysseus cowers)

Nestor: "If we leave now we're screwed."

Odysseus: "Yeah if we stay, we stay for the right reasons pal, not your pride. We stay to protect Greece. Your little tittle-tattle hissy fights with Achilles are killing us."

Agamemnon: "Achilles is one man, & a hot one at that too."

(Nestor rolls his eyes & chucks his piece of chicken on the ground in disgust.)

Odysseus: "Hector is one man also. But look what he did to us today. He licked us, tasted us, chewed us then spat us out."

Agamemnon: "Hector fights for his daddy, Achilles fights for the right to root anything within a ten mile zone."

Odysseus: "Man I really didn't need to hear that ok. I don't care about what he fights for I only care that he can swing a sword & wipe out a whole army."

Nestor: (Raises hand) "I vote Odysseus correct."

Agamemnon: "Even if I could make peace with him, the man won't listen to me. He's as likely to prod me with a stick as to spear me with it."

Odysseus: "Fine! I'll kiss & make-up with him."

Nestor: "He'll want the girl back."

Odysseus: "Really? I thought he was gay."

Agamemnon: "Me too. Anyway he can have the girl back. I haven't touched her."

Odysseus: "Where is she?"

Agamemnon: "I gave her to the men. Though I don't know if they know what to do with a woman."

Author/Banshee Queen: "Ok guys get saddled up, you're in for a wild ride next chappie...no not really, I just said that to get your hopes up. You gotta' giddy up & get back on that horsie!" (Twirls lasso)
