The Trojans welcomed the Greeks as their allies in Troy but in return, the Greeks took control of everything and start to kill the Trojans one by one. What will happen if a warrior named Achilles meets a young woman named Briseis and fall for her before long?

It all started in a world of chaos…

MYTHIC STONE PRESENTS

Love in a world of chaos

Chapter One: Troy

I can smell the fresh water from the ocean. The coldness of the clean indigo stream strokes my bare feet as it delivers chilliness in my nerves.

I know that tonight is the night that we, Trojans have to face our enemies as allies. What a foolish thing to do. I don't think King Priam and Hector were thinking right when they decided that we should invite them over for a gathering. I really can't believe this. I just can't…

Many thoughts came crashing inside my mind. Mostly, fears. Fears for The King, fears for The Princes, fears for my countrymen and fears for---Troy.

"My lady! my lady!" I heard a voice calling me from my behind. I rapidly turned around and saw

Agueda, a Trojan servant with long, straight brown hair and eyes as brown as dark chocolates, running towards me. "What's wrong Agueda?" I asked her. She gulped for a second then she started to say something. "The Greeks" She paused then she started to catch her breath.

The Greeks? Are they here?

"They have arrived, my lady." She continued then bowed her head. "Where are they?" I asked her gently. She lifted her head up again then she answered my question graciously. "They're already inside the palace my lady." With her nervous voice, it was quit obvious that she, herself is afraid. "King Priam wants your presence right away my lady." She continued. I shook my head up and down then the both of us went back inside the palace.

When we reached the foyer to the kingdom of Troy, I saw many Greek warriors standing there. Some are laughing and some are just standing. I could hear loud laughter's from them, and then suddenly, it stopped. I swallowed my saliva as soon as they all started to stare at me.

Some started to whistle and some remained silence. I stood there for a while, gathered all the straights I have then I walk pass them.

When I enter the kingdom, I heard Paris' voice. "Briseis!" He called out my name then continued, "Come, father needs your presence my dear cousin." He told me firmly then he led me to the room. There I saw Greeks. Different from the Greeks I had seen earlier.

"Briseis!" I heard King Priam's gentle voice, greeting me, he said, "Come my dear child, you must meet our allies." He told me gently. After my father's death, Uncle was the only one who took care of me, welcomed me in his home and treated me as his own. He's the kind of father that I never had…

I bowed my head lightly then he started to introduce them one by one. "This is King Marshal Agamemnon and his brother Menelaus." I look at the both of them for a while then uncle continued, "This is my niece, Briseis." I bowed my head gently again and in my surprise, King Agamemnon grabbed my hand gently and starts kissing it.

"How disgusting!" I thought then slowly slid my hand away from his. "Pleasure to meet you King Agamemnon, King Menelaus." I pretense and bowed once more. "Stay and join us if you're not doing anything Briseis." Uncle Priam told me. I made a fake disappointing smile then I replied, "I'm sorry Uncle, but I'm afraid Priest Panteleimon is waiting for me at the Temple." I lied. She lightly nods his head then I heard him say, "Is that so. Well then, go on now child. I don't want you to make Priest Panteleimon wait." He told me slowly. I bowed my head for the last time then I turned around.

Next to the immense entrance, I saw a man, no…. a warrior staring at me. By just looking at his manly body, you'll know he's a warrior. Golden-brown skin, hair just like the sun and his eyes reminds me of the ocean. He's staring at me with a small smirk written on his lips and then our eyes met.

By staring at his eyes, I felt all my energy vanished. As a woman, I can say he's handsome. He's like a prince charming that every woman wants. Now what am I saying?

I swiftly look away when I realize that I've been standing here for quite a long time now so I started to walk towards the large arc without looking at him.

What got into me? Did I just feel like fainting back there? That warrior… There's something about that warrior…. something---- something I can't explain.
