Hill of the Thicket




Today we sit and wait. The Achaians have gathered in mass set to launch another attack against Troy. The Gods only know what has spurred this new fight into them. But as duty requires I have assembled my Dardanians. If this speaks of the house of Priam's leadership then the gods save us. We are but a coalition of nations from the neighboring tribes set to help a nation defend itself because of a boy's impetuousness and a father's inability to dissuade him. Had my family come as the rulers of Troy surely this would not have come to pass. However, in order for their to be a Troy for my lineage to rule I must fight for Priam alongside his sons and this coalition.....Had I not seen it I would not have believed it. My mother descended from Olympus and saved that fool Alexandros from certain death at the hands of Menelaos. Unfortunately, this means that the vows name him  Menelaos the winner....It seems the gods are not yet done with us, Athene has descended onto the battlefield as well....this cannot bode well for any of us as pawns of the gods...mother watch over me as you did Alexandros....
