In war. 
where all gazes were on the stolen queen, the greedy king, the brave prince, and the demi-god one.
I lived, or so I say.
Because no life could be real unless acknowledged, and I have no witnesses for my breathing, except for the dusty remains of Troy, that, if they remained.
And even then, they will stay silent about me, just as I was when I watched them burn.
They will ignore me, like I negligibly fled them to fulfill my herculean need for wanderlust.
Even at the price of being forgotten.
To abandon my homeland and my name,
To lose both my title and my fame,
But only to end up in a King's claim.All Rights Reserved
