     Cassandra looked around surveying the Greek army and their leaders. She pointed, "Starting from our left to our right have the kings of Greece at the head of the army." She dropped her arm and said, "You have Odysseus of Ithica, Ajax the Lesser, since he is smaller than the other Ajax, Menelaus of Sparta, who you've already met, Agamemnon of Mycenae, Menelaus's brother, and Ajax the Greater of Salamis." Cassandra fell silent.
     "Well," said Paris, "it is, I guess, a good thing that you didn't marry him, or else you would have lost him right away in this war."
     Cassandra glared at him and said, "If you wouldn't have brought your little Spartan Whore along with you, this war would never have started. And besides, if I did marry with Ajax of Salamis, I would have been fighting against you, against Troy." She saw Paris's face and addid, "Salamis would be my home, not Troy, if I married him."
     "Enough," said Hector. "At least we know which kings are here. It looks like all of the leaders of Greece are here."
     "No," said Cassandra, "the leader of the Myrmidons is not here. Achilles will not be fighting today."
     "Another vision of yours?" asked Paris angrily.
     "No," replied Cassandra matching his tone. "Achilles has his own chariot. He is a leader and he would be at the front of the army with the rest. He is not here."
     "You're right," said Hector.
     "She is?" asked Paris. Immediatly he was punched in the side, almost falling from his horse. When he repositioned himself back on the horse he glared at Cassandra.
     "What?" she asked innocently.
     "I know you hit me! You almost knocked me off my horse!" Paris yelled.
     "I did no such thing."
     "You did too!"
     "Prove it," she smiled.
     "Enough," said Hector. "If I hear anymore fighting out of you two, you go back to the city, Cassandra. Understood?"
     "Yes," she said quietly.
     "And that doesn't mean you can start the fight that sends her back to the city, Paris. Understood?"
     "Yes," he said quietly.

Author's Comments

This is actually catagorized as "Historical Fiction" but DeviantArt doesn't have that category.

Anyway...this is a work in progress of my new novel Letters to Ajax. It is complete fiction, because there is really no historical writting of Cassandra of Troy and Ajax of Salamis ever meeting each other. It's a novel out of my comfort zone (I normally don't write romantic novels, there's some romance in my other novels but it's mostly based around war), but I love the story of Cassandra and the Trojan War.

Cassandra was a princess of Troy who's beauty caused Apollo to grant her the gift of prophecy. However, when she did not return his love, Apollo placed a curse on her so that no one would ever believe her predictions.

So she lived forever in frustration, since no one believed her predictions...especially when she saw all of Troy burning before they brought the "Trojan Horse" into the city.

Any criticism is welcome, that includes telling me of spelling errors.:)

Oh, yeah. I have the first 3 pages finished...:blush: not much. I kind of got stuck, and other things have popped up wanting my attention, like work, art that's in my head that wants to be on the page, and a baby blanket I've been asked to finish.
:iconhaldir82:
