In Wonderland

Nonsense

"Nonsense! very -very disrespectful" a screaming voice in my head while I eat my popcorn as I saw Hector, slayed and dragged by the foul no good Achilles. I don't know which side you are on, but definitely it is a total dishonour for a fighter to do such a thing. 

I've known Hector since he was a baby brat. He was very good in seducing women; women in every age or status. I don't blame him, he has those earth-like eyes, hair as wavy as the sea and complexion whom every man envies. 

It's just very sad he has to go to Elysium, perhaps Zeus will make him his right hand, or better a God instead?Hmmm... Now now, I need to see it myself or did he really went through there? I should had escorted him to my friend in the River. I should pay a visit and see how's he doing, i'm sure he would be very pleased seeing me. 

As I lay down the boat, and my friend rows it, I saw this white ravens, flying through the sky. It were saying something which is "Dead, dead, dead, arrow in his ankle, dead, dead, dead!"  perhaps thats the sign that someone shot the man Achilles, its about time! but off I daydream about how long I stood in this time, my face haven't even change ever since I turned 21. 

After daydreaming, we finally met our destination, the Elysium. At the entrance the one legged flamingo opened the massive golden chain gates. as expected Hector was happy to see me. But he whispered something in my ear he said "i really would want to  go back in Troy again, hot as fire and alive as a flower"  I have heard every mortal asking the same favour, to be alive again. I haven't really broken any rule, because I made the rule myself, but perhaps i will be breaking my own today. Hector tried to whoo me with his brags, little did he know that I already made up my mind, but kept on listening on how he will give me the best things man can offer to a God of Gods. 

To end his bragging chit-chat I told him "well then, since you really want to, ask Zeus for a second opinion" and there he goes, fast like a wind. The young man was running and mumbling the words he will tell to Zeus, he even slipped the floor for goodness sake! But I doubt if Zeus will ever agree with it, like come on, his the most clever and wise guy I know, im sure he would say no to it.

and just like that, then, as I wonder around the Garden of Elysium, I saw Achilles and his mother Thetis. From the glimpse of Achilles eyes, i could say he would ask the same favour, as Hector did. And as to me, I said the same thing I told Hector earlier. I told Thetis not to interfere with it and she agreed, as I know Zeus cannot stand Thetis cracking voice. 

To my curiousity, I went straight to the court of Zeus, to see what has been occurring.  "walking isn't really fun after all" said by the voices in my head while trying to walk the stairs. I wonder what the mortals thought when they built the stairs going to the temples in the mountain. 

Quite intrigued with the doors of Zeus Court. Who would have known it would have penguins with horns with it, i didn't know he was a fan of Poseidon. But anyways, i got distracted and looked at it for minutes. After that i heard Zeus in the top of his lungs, as Hector and Achilles reason things with him. So what I did was, I blew a small cloud, teapot like cloud, and pointed it to Zeus. I wrote something on it just for things go and settle down. "If anyone of you goes asleep, you wouldn't be allowed to be back alive on man-earth. Only one would be able to go" .

 The two man were furious, each both want to be alive, whether to fight or to love. Both of them are determined to win, and finally, someone thought of a plan. I watched Achilles as he put some droplets of poison on Hectors drink, little did he know he slipped some on his fingers as well on his thumb, "how stupid can he be" my thoughts as i watch him pour some more. 

 What makes me giggle is that on the other room Hector was doing the same, dropping some poison on a glass of wine, and stupidly he also spills some on his fingers. They invited me to a long golden table for a feast, they said it was a celebration before their competition starts. So i just sat there and heard both of them whinged and whine about how they truly want to go back to their families and how remarkable they were with the at their fought wars. After that Achilles put up the glasses for a toast. I, myself smiled a bit for both of them are a fool to drink any of it. But anyhow, both toasted and drunk their wines, or atleast someone did. Both young great men fell on each other plates, with pork sauce on their faces and spilled wine on the tables cloth. I watched how their faces changed colour. 

And I -I who faced my back and walked slowly away. But, in just a short bit of time, a sound of a creaking chair and the movement of plates and spoons was made. Ahhhh! The great Achilles didn't really had the wine in his throat all along. I was amazed and asked him why didn't he drink the wine. He answered "Because I don't drink wine, i don't even drink anything that would make me feel tipsy. If anyone wants to slay me then i wouldn't be able to defend myself" I thought of that as very wise. 

He laughed and pitied poor Hector. He thought he killed him, but i changed both of the poisons to be a sleeping and erasing memory potion only. Because you will never get anywhere if you died from Elysium, or unless i put them again somewhere and just so they will forget this have ever happened, even the urge to be alive would be erased from their memories. 

So Achilles toasted for his pride of honour which is Hector as well as his great achievement of defeating him. He slowly drunk some water that he himself got from the river, then he barged into the Roast Pork. He nibbled his fingers and fainted after that. 

Poor lad, Achilles, he haven't thought that he spilled some poison or should I say potion on his itty bitty little fingers and nibbled it, all for the damn sauce. I mean who wouldn't enjoy a nice roasted pork? but anyways, still a shame for no one had succeeded in the end. 

After that Kalas! Fin! Finito! .

But the question is, have you ever wondered of what would I be like? would I be a lady or a gentleman? Perhaps you have a clear answer to that. And what do you think they did after waking up?
