Streams of Blood

So we made for the shores of Troy. As we marched to the city gates, we were met by the Trojan army. Paris, the fool, dared to challenge us! The Achaeans! I would have loved to accept the duel myself, but I felt that it was more fitting to allow Menelaos to do the deed. We watched--both Achaea and Troy. Clearly the beautiful Paris was no match. Menelaos was clearly the winner but somehow Paris vanished into thin air. As if some sorceress had bewitched both armies and had Paris take refuge somewhere well hidden. No matter though! The coward's hands hadn't even seen the battle field prior to this duel. The war was said to be decided with that duel and yet, Pandarus had the nerve to fire upon triumphant Menelaos as his back was turned, all for the sake of seeking glory. The fool will have learned today. *Hyaaaaah!* I have already slain Anthemion with ease. I will enjoy this day. Blood shall be shed, but not my own any time soon. With Odysseus by my side we will wreak fear and havoc! After this day, the Trojans will know war!

A Quarrel of Opportunity

With this exchange of words and anger, Achilles and Agamemnon seem appear to be bitter with each other. Agamemnon has humiliated Achilles in front of the Achaeans and now he has chosen to retreat from the side of the Achaeans. Must he need Brysseis by his side in place of Chrysseis? This war is almost lost even before it has begun. I do not know what may happen now but this is my chance to show the Achaeans that I am just as good a fighter as Achilles. Though the gods may skirmish with one another, I will not falter. Though our soldiers retreat, Odysseus has rallied them stronger than before. My blood and body twitches with excitement. I know the Trojans tremble when they hear my name, Aias the Greater!

Aias the Great

I am Aias of King Telamon and Periboea. I am Aias the Great! Confuse me not with the foolish Lesser Aias, son of Oileus. For if you do, my wrath you shall endure. I am Aias the Great as I have stated before! There is not a single human comparable to me except that of Achilles, born of divine lineage. In a few moments we will make for the shores of Troy. Why we are fighting of things as trivial as these, I have no idea. But this will allow me to show my intellect on the battle field, so to hell with it! Before I see Hades, I will fight like no other, with valor and my shield in hand.
