Breisis found herself lying on the ground, she saw footsteps walking away. She lifted her head to see who they were.
"Who, who are you?"
One of them turned around and smiled. He walked over to her and dropped in her hand a small amulet. He said nothing, got up and walked away with the others. Breisis looked at the small amulet, a strange metal twisted and convoluted into a symbol. She remembered seeing this once before. She couldn't remember what it was for though. She looked around. She was inside the mountain somewhere.
Achilles found himself dressed in a white robe in a strange place. His heavy armor he always wore was gone. He felt strange, happy almost. Colors and sounds were harmonious. He saw that he was outside in a field or a vine yard, everything was white. He looked around and saw that there were others like him walking around happy and cheerful. He didn't feel tired, or hungry or anything. His memories were fading though, he couldn't remember things. He didn't remember his days at war, his days in the battlefield, or Troy. His image of Breisis was fading, he saw her face in his mind one last time and then it was gone.
"Achilles!"
He turned around and saw his father.
"Father!" He smiled and ran over to hug his father whom he hadn't seen in ages.
"Where have you been? It seems like I've been waiting forever for you"
"I don't know where I've been, but it is good to see you"
"Come there are lots of people who want to meet you my son"
Breisis walked through the winding tunnels inside. She saw the amulet in her hand glow a bit. She walked until she reached the edge of a cliff where she saw an inscription on the wall. She held the amulet up to read what it said. Puzzled as the words said one cryptic message.
"Take a leap of faith" Breisis looked down into the abyss and around. She stepped back and didn't feel like jumping off a cliff. There had to be another way. She looked around and thought of Achilles.
In the Elysian Fields, Achilles was talking to his father's friend when an image appeared before him again. It was Breisis standing at the edge of the cliff. Achilles didn't know who this woman was or what she was doing.
"Achilles…Achilles, are you listening?"
Achilles looked away and the image disappeared.
"I'm sorry, I got distracted for a second" Achilles answered
Breisis didn't know what to do. She started to cry a bit as she had gotten to the mountain, nearly froze to death but she couldn't find her way to him. Had she come all this way for nothing. Had she failed? All she wanted was to have him back again. And then she realized what the inscription meant.
"I must die to get to Hades. I must die to find him" Breisis got up and closed her hand holding the amulet. The light was gone. She took in a deep breath and walked forward and stepped off the cliff.
"Achilles" Breisis said as she stepped off
Achilles was walking around as his father was busy talking with his friends. He stopped by the fountain and looked at his reflection. He heard someone call out his name and in the water he saw her face again. Who was this woman? Her image would appear to him and he wouldn't know why. He reached out to touch her face but he water rippled and she was gone.
"Achilles?"
Achilles turned around and saw Hector.
"Do I know you?" Achilles asked
"It's me Hector. Don't you remember? Prince of Troy. Well former Prince of Troy my brother Paris is now prince"
"I can't seem to remember a lot. What was I doing in Troy?" Achilles
"I'm not sure. I do we did spar that time"
"Did we?"
"Yes, I met you at the temple of Apollo, you were quite cocky"
"What was I doing at a temple?"
"Perhaps trying to steal a glimpse at my cousin Breisis"
"I don't remember a Breisis"
"Well do you remember my wife and child?"
