Timeless Warrior

Goodbye for now

Ch.6

Perseus awoke the next day and smiled a bit as he laid eyes on the beauty sharing his bed. He had never been overly interested in romantic relationships but something about this girl was special. He wished she could stay with him but he couldn't allow that. This war was just beginning and he could not keep focusing on making sure she was safe. No, it was better to put her somewhere safe and then perhaps, one day, maybe he would find her again.

He tried to slip out from under her but she started to wake, a slight frown appearing on her face when she did that he couldn't help but chuckle at.

"I must go see my brother. I will return with some breakfast for you." He whispered in her ear wiping the frown from her face as she rolled over and drifted off to sleep again.

Perseus slipped a shirt on before walking out of his tent. The sun was barely up but a few of his men were up and about. After sticking Eudoros on guard in front of his tent, he stepped into his brother's tent only to have his eyes widen and a huge smirk appear on his face.

Both his brother and Brisēís were completely naked sprawled out on his bed passed out from what he could only guess was a night of passion.

Perseus walked up to the bed and sent a swift kick into his brother's naked backside causing him to jump and Brisēís to scream a bit when she saw Perseus looking at them in amusement.

"You better have a damn good reason to be in here brother." Achilles growled.

Perseus bit back a laugh, "So sorry to interrupt you from what must have been a deep sleep after what looks like a lovely evening but we're in the middle of a war and we need to talk a bit."

Achilles growled a bit while Brisēís hid under some blankets, her cheeks burning before Perseus walked out of the tent not wishing to look at his brother's bare ass any longer.

A moment later Achilles came out half-dressed, an irritated expression clearly evident on his face.

Perseus laughed at his brother's face, "I see you kept yourself entertained last night."

Achilles rolled his eyes but smirked a bit, "And you didn't? You can't think you can sneak off to the beach without me noticing."

Perseus shrugged, "It was good but apparently not as good as yours."

Achilles raised an eyebrow but his brother just shook his head, "I'm getting her out of here tonight. Mother is coming and I'm going to have her take her. I can't be keeping guards at my tent throughout the whole war."

Achilles looked a little surprised, "You like her, don't you?"

Perseus just shrugged again but it was an obvious yes as Achilles could read his brother like a book.

Patroclus came running over to the two brothers.

"We attack again tomorrow. Today we burn the shrouds of the fallen. What are your orders?"

Achilles shrugged, "Do what you want, just try not to get yourself in too much trouble.

Patroclus smiled mischievously before taking off without another word.

Perseus and his brother grabbed some breakfast from the dining tent, ignoring the furious looks being sent towards them by Agamemnon and his advisors while they talked a bit about their mother's visit, both anxious to see her.

When Perseus returned to his tent he found Zoë sitting up in his bed, waiting for him to return. She smiled when he handed her a plate of food and took a seat on the bed with her.
