Bow of Acropolis

Chapter III : Greek Enchantment

Chiron came back with someone 'new' made Edlynne startled from her daydream. She looked up and extraneous man stood in front of her.

For a few moment they were gazing at each other in a deeply serenity.

His dazzling eyes luminous with a spark of aqua blue. He didn't smile nor sulky. He stayed mum with his less facial expression. Kinda unfriendly.

"Flat face" Edlynne murmered.

Edlynne fascinated with those man's visual in front of her. Typical of enchantment greek with his blonde wavy hair. She was pretty sure whoever saw it would ended up sink into it.

"Who are you?" asked that guy broke the hush. Intimidated.

"Gosh" Edlynne mumbled when she managed to hear his deep voice.

"Edlynne"

"Aren't you?"

Edlynne got a little bit electric shocked on her heart when he called her name. She cast down one's eyes tried to make a proper excuse to explain her sudden emergence.

Meanwhile he reached out his hand.

"I'm Achilles"

Right after that, Edlynne's eyes switched on Achilles. The silence hit both of them once again.

"Achi...achilles?" Edlynne convinced her hearing.

Achilles didn't answer, he raised his eyebrows tried to conjecture.

"No way he's Achilles that hero from Trojan War or i'll go mad" Edlynne muttered to herself.

Edlynne stood up from her mattress.
She took his hand and said,

"I'm Edlynne"

While she put a little smile on her face tried to be gracious. Unexpectedly, Achilles did the same, he gave her his little smirked.

"Chiron told me everything" said Achilles. Coldly.

"I swear to god i have no idea why could i ended up here. I just-"

"Ssttt..."

Before Edlynne could finish her sentence, Achilles shuts her mouth first with his index finger.

"Lower your tone! You know nobody here yet" Achilles warned.

"I'm sorry. I just confused" said Edlynne nervously.

"What epoch are you from?" asked Achilles.

With dubiety Edlynne said,
"2020"

Achilles widened his eyes. Unbelieved.

"Do you even know what era right now?" Achilles asked.

Edlynne shook her head.

"12th century"

They were both dumbfounded.

"Interesting. We have 800 years gap. I'm 800 years older than you" Achilles smirked.

"How old are you?" Edlynne turned to ask.

"17" answered Achilles without hesitation.

Edlynne chuckled, "We are friend than. I'm also 17 in my era. What a coincidence"

On the other hand, Chiron rebuked, "Achi"

"We need to talk" Chiron persuaded.

(Achilles POV)

"We should ask for help. She is not belong in here. She need to get back" said Chiron with a barely audible sounds.

Achilles thinking out loud. Nonetheless, he didn't want anyone knew about Edlynne sudden emergence from the future.

"I'm gonna tell my mom" said Achilles.

Chiron held Achilles's hands. Signal for disagreement.

"No. If you tell Thetis, she will begging Zeus for help. You knew Zeus, uncooperative god. It could bring the chaos in The Olympus" Chiron disallowed.

"Any idea?" asked Achilles with full emphasis.

"Athena" said Chiron.

"She was coming from Athena's temple Acropolis. It must be the clue" Chiron added.
