A/N Pleaes R&R people! If I know someone is reading it then I'll continue! Thanks!
Briesis traveled for days to find Thetis. She was told she was fond of water and a Nereid. She was not sure if this was true or not, as Achilles had made no mention of this. He had always spoken very fondly of his mother stating that she had always foresaw his doom. She made her way to the beach and saw a woman standing there in the water looking for seashells. Briesis walked towards her slowly. She put the scissor inside her gown and started walking into the water. It felt unbelievable good to have the warm waters around her legs. She remembered Achilles telling her about how beautiful it was there, how inviting the waters were.
"Are you Thetis?" Briesis asked
The woman turned around. She stood up holding the shells in her hands. Thetis was almost untouched by age, she had a few gray hairs around, but her beauty still radiated through. Briesis was taken back by the mother of Achilles.
"I am" she answered back
"Do you know where your son is?"
"He comes and goes as he pleases. Who are you"
"I have seen his future, a horrible one"
"Are you a seer"
"No, I am a priestess of Apollo. I have traveled from Delphi"
"You have traveled to Delphi to see my son? Or are you just another love sick girl that he has loved and left"
"I am a servant of Apollo, my virtue is intact. I have seen things, things that will happen, things that mustn't happen"
"I have already seen my son's doom. It walks"
"Hand in hand with his glory." Briesis finished her sentence "Very good you have heard the stories"
"You will make him a shell necklace, he will come to you and ask you what will happen if he goes to Troy. You will tell him that glory is his, that his name will be remembered for thousands of years. That if he stays here, he will find a woman that will love him, bring him peace, he will have children, and his children will have children, but when they are all dead, he will be forgotten"
"How did you know this"
"Because I have seen this all happen. I have seen him kill thousands at Troy. I've seen him defy Agamemnon, I've seen him mourn over the death of his cousin, and end a prince's life. I've seen him die. I've watched the light leave his eyes and close forever. I've seen him in the underworld. I've seen all this and I have to stop it" Briesis said as she started to cry
"But why? You do not know him"
"In another lifetime I did"\
Thetis looked at Briesis there was something different about her. She couldn't quite make it out, and she didn't exactly know what it was. She knew there was something there.
"I thought I knew all the priestess of Apollo in Greece" Thetis said
"I am a Trojan"
"Are you mad girl? War is impending, and you travel here"
"Apollo willed it"
"What are you women prattling on about now?" a man's voice said from behind
Brieisis turned around and saw him standing there. Alive, and well, stunning and beautiful. He stood there in the water, dressed in blue. She had never seen him like this. She had never seen him without his armor. She couldn't answer, she couldn't even move. She wanted to say something, anything to him, but he looked at her for a moment, and in that moment, Briesis wanted to tell me everything, that she loved him, that she defied the gods twice for him. Achilles saw something in her eyes, there was something there that called out for him, something so intense he had to look away and walk towards his mother.
"Mother" Achilles started to say
"I'm making you a shell necklace, like when you were a boy do you remember?"
Thetis tried to smile Brieisis watched him move through the water, it was one thing she had not seen. She felt the sun beat down on her, and the light reflect off the water. She was blinded by it for a moment.
Achilles turned around saw that she was still there. He looked at her face, it seemed familiar in a way, but he didn't know what. Brieisis stood there unable to say anything, and then she felt something inside herself burning. She saw Achilles reach out to her and then it was darkness.
