Poseidon looked at him. "Oh can you now? Can you sooth this beast?" He said unconfidently.

"He has to at least try." Athena said.

"I'll do what I can", Aridonis promised.

Nexus sighed laying back trying to think.

Orion was marching his army south heading towards Thessaly, Lysander's force had moved into Thrace taking them. Other Legions occupied Macedonia and were landing in Sparta, Orion's' Greek Domain.

Adastros was marshaling his Athenian armies.

Achilles took Hector's dead body tying it to the back of his chariot before riding off to the Greek Camp, dragging his body behind him.

"Then go." Poseidon said to Aridonis. "Good luck."

Priam watched from the walls as his son was dragged away. Paris tried one last time to appeal to Apollonis for aid but could not find the god anywhere.

Achilles took Hector's body back to the Greek Camp.

Hours later a hooded man slipped into the Greek camp searching for Achilles

Achilles sat in his tent thinking while Briseis slept.

"Great Achilles" Priam said meekly as he entered the tent.

Achilles looked over a little surprised by the visitor. "Who are you old man?"

"A grieving father with no body to mourn over" Priam said pulling back his hood.

Helen sat by a fire in her quarters, saddened by everything, watching Paris out on the balcony. The flames flickered and then started to resemble figures. Apollaine then revealed herself beside the curtains and looked down at her.

"All that you saw in the flames just now, are versions of what can and will happen, depending on your actions. I can assure you only of this, that the city of Troy will be rebuilt numerous times even after you have gone. Risking your life for its walls and title... that is the choice you must make. But at the end of the day, rocks and mortar can be rebuilt... lives cannot."
"Will there be more death?"
"If you stay? Most definitely... you have angered the Greeks...they will not stop. But if you flee, what you leave behind might also be hard. Choose wisely..."
"What would you choose?"

Apollaine shook her head, "I do not love for the very reason it hurts..."

Helen watched her disappear and headed out to the balcony to stand beside Paris, "Are you alright?"

Achilles stood up. "Priam...how did you get in here?"

"This is my home" Priam said "I know all of it's secrets"

"My brother is dead" Paris sighed "without him Troy is lost and this is all my fault."

Achilles nodded and sat. "So why come here?"

"It is not your fault... I've been thinking... lets leave Troy..." Helen suggested.

"Abandon my home" Paris said "I can't do that, my father needs me."

"To appeal to your mercy" Priam said kneeling in front of him "let me take his body back and give him a proper passing."

"Convince him to come with us... we can be together somewhere far away from all this, and be safe. Some land, where we're no one but ourselves."

Achilles looked at Priam and sighed. "Get off your knees King Priam..."

"He will not abandon our home" Paris said "and neither will I."

"Thank you" Priam said rising.

Achilles looked at him. "You may take your son...how long do the funeral games last in Troy?"

"Seven days" Priam said

"It is the same in Greece." Achilles said. "You have my word no Greek will attack Troy for seven days then."

"Thank you" Priam said bowing slightly as he left taking Hector back to Troy

Achilles sighed watching him leave.
