Greece

Hector backed away tripping over a stone

"Get up Prince, I will not have a stone take my vengeance." Achilles said allowing him to get up.

Keith gut to his feet charging at Achilles.

Achilles charged back at him.

Hector matched him for as long as he could.

Achilles finally found his opening and took it, driving his sword into Hector's chest.

Hector stabbed at him

Achilles pushed him forward and down.

Hector groaned staring up at Achilles.

Achilles stood watching him die.

Hector lay on the ground dead a few minutes later

Alea woke feverishly again, this time looking at them both curiously, "And who are you two strangers?! What are you doing to me?!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ares circled Apollaine making her shift more uncomfortably.

"Your decision, milady?"
"I... I accept."
"What made you change your mind?"
"Apollonis... I've lost his love-"
"And you hope that this deed will repair it. What if he also finds out how you came to get the healing potion? Won't that jeopardise things further."
"I won't be telling him, and neither shall you. That's the bargain..."
"I see... come along milady."

"I am Hades, lord of the Underworld" Hades smiled at her "This young man is my son, he brought you to me to cure you."

"Oh, you're Had... oh that's okay... I wasn't interested in having you anyhow. And Underwood...where's that? He wants to cut me? I'm sick...what's the point of that?"

"I don't really have time for this" Hades sighed "I have other things to do. Apollonis, hold her still."
Apollonis nodded holding Alea firmly as Hades made his move towards her to cure her of the poison.

"Angel..." Alea gasped seeing a bright light, and trembled, "But I don't want to go with!"

Apollaine looked over at her with a strange look, "I've got something... oh she's already being cured. Couldn't wait for me..."

"You had you're chance and failed" Apollonis snapped "now leave, you're not welcome here."

"I think you're forgetting who's really your sister! That woman doesn't deserve to be given this luxury of help!" Apollaine said angrily.

"She is more of a sister than you" Apollonis said

"Why? Because she would sleep with you?!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alea looked at them both coming to, "That hasn't happened... certainly not while I've been awake."

"No, because she doesn't treat me like a child" Apollonis said
"Please children enough of the bickering" Hades said "Now you want this girl cured, fine it's done."
A blue fire spread across Alea's body burning out the poison.

Apollaine moved closer to Apollonis, "What was the deal? Apollonis?"

"That is none of your concern dear" Hades said "now leave before I sick my dog on you."

Apollaine stood immediately looking disgusted as she left twirling her skies with the light.

"And now, you two may leave as well" Hades said "I will collect my fee at my own leisure."
