Aeneas vs Achilleus Part Deux

"Men say that you are son to noble Peleus, and that your mother is Thetis, fair-haired daughter of the sea. I have noble Anchises for my father, and Aphrodite for my mother. The parents of one or other shall this day mourn a son, for it will be more than silly talk that shall part us when the fight is over." -- Aeneas to Achilleus Book XX

"When Achilleus is dead you may then fight among the foremost undaunted, for none other of the Achaeans shall slay you." -- Poseidon to Aeneas Book XX 

…As the war raged on upon the Argives and the Trojans with her allies, I was met by a most peculiar sight. It appeared as though the gods themselves have joined us in our warfare. Those upon the side of the Argives included, most notably Athena, Hera, and Poseidon. Upon ours I noted Phoebus Apollo and Aries. As our war raged on and Hektor and I took our own fights against the Argives we were met by the terrible sight that was swift-footed Achilleus. He had once again joined the fray and Hektor and I choose to fight amongst the Argives for our strength had been spread out across days whereas Achilleus appeared refreshed by Ambrose. It was not until the words of Phoebus Apollo reached my ears that I felt the urge to challenge this man. Apollo was quick to point out the familial lines and how my family was far greater. Both of us came from relatively great men, but Achilleus was born from a sea nymph whereas I am born from Aphrodite herself. Once we had gotten the introductions and insults out of the way we met each other spear to spear, shield to shield. I could not but recount my earlier encounter with Achilleus before we met on the battlefield. I had been tending sheep upon a hill top when he attacked me. He brags of such events but does not take into account that it was not a battlefield. He relished in the notion that I was forced to run. But, what else was I to do? Fight near-immortal Achilleus in gear set for a sheppard. Unfortunately, our duel did not end as I had liked, destiny had decided that I was to not be the victor that day upon the field in front of Ilium either. But, further proof to a grander destiny set afoot, Poseidon lord of the sea and horses whisked me away from the point of Achilleus before I could be slain. For a god not of our side to take me away instills within me the notion that I have a far grander role to play I may yet conquer the Argives in battle someday. For it was the words of Poseidon, exalted lord of the Seas which told me that once Achilleus destiny has been realized and his death has overtaken him, there will be not one Argive able to stop me.
