Ok, on with the chapter.
A Change of Alliances
"Are you saying that you and your men would turn against your own and save Troy?"
"Yes, I want Agamemnon to win this war as much as you do,"
"I don't know what Hector would say, but, I don't want to see my home destroyed,"
"Then, pack your things, I'll go rally the troops. We must leave quietly so as to not rouse any suspicions,"
"What if they don't want to change sides?" Briseis asked as Achilles made his way towards the tent flap.
"They follow me, they'll do what ever I tell them. As long as they get to fight they'll do what ever I want them to without complaint," with that said, Achilles left Briseis to collect things to be taken back to Troy.
"Patroclus, rouse the men, make no noise, tell them to meet me here it's urgent," Achilles ordered. Patroclus nodded and hurried off to gather the men.
Five minutes later, every Myrmidon gathered outside their leader's tent, listening to what he had to say.
"Men, this war is not fair. The Greeks out number the Trojans by tens of thousands. We were all dragged here for one man's greed. For nine long years now we have fought, and for what? Troy's walls still stand, and our men are still dying. Zeus sent me a message last night; he said that we need to fight for the Trojans instead of for Agamemnon. I say let's go to Hector, and fight for him, let's save Troy. If you are with me, raise your hand!" Achilles spoke firmly, but only loud enough for his men to hear him.
Every Myrmidon raised his hand.
"Good, now, pack your things, leave your tents. We ride for Troy in and hour," Achilles dismissed his men and retreated to his tent.
When he entered he saw every belonging packed up and stacked neatly. Briseis stood over near the make-shift bed, folding it slowly and carefully.
"The men are all getting ready to go as we speak," Achilles said, his voice soft.
"Do you really think we can save Troy?" Briseis asked. Achilles walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I do," Achilles replied.
TO BE CONTINUED…..
