What is this talk you are having of finding my husband? I am certain that he will eventually find me, Lady Mun. You should not worry over me when that little paper of yours to which it must be attended.

That said, I do approve of this young man being the face of my King.

Sincerely,
Helen, Queen of Sparta

So this is the famed Helen. Achilles told stories of the bloodshed that followed in the wake of your antics.

[He scoffs a bit.]

Most beautiful woman in the world. Bah. You're reduced to a common bar wench in comparison to my lovely Diaochan.

[wasneverasked]

[She's going to roll her eyes at the mention of Achilles. Cause the dude's an ass and of course he'd take his own interpretation.]

I believe the title "Most Beautiful Woman in the World" only started out of rumor. So that very well may be true.

I love Koei just for situations like this. :3

Achilles said that your treachery caused Greece to launch a thousand ships to reclaim you. He fought men, monsters, and your very gods because of an oath that was sworn out of a need to keep kings from turning on each other to claim you as their own.

If you are the standard of beauty in Greece, it is no wonder Achilles was swayed by Da Ji's poisonous tongue.

[Hey now, don't be badmouthing Achilles. He and Lu Bu became close friends as they killed a god of destruction together.]

pffffft

Then you must speak from Faust's own ear. I did no treason to my Sparta by being abducted by a goddess and placed in the clammy hands of a man no bigger than a boy.

[A scoff.]

Well, he had no better lessons.

Damn computer borked on me. >.>

[immortal_phoenix]

The way Achilles told it, there were rumors that you went of your own will.

[cassie_of_troy]

He's much more attractive than his brother. I'll grant you that.

[wasneverasked]

The difference shaving the beard can make on a man.

[cassie_of_troy]

That is what I used to say of Othryoneus.

[wasneverasked]

[Helen gives a small smile of encouragement, put her arm through Cassie's and squeezing her hand reassuringly.] The day you meet him in paradise will be a bountiful, beautiful day, sweet Lion.

[cassie_of_troy]

Wishful thinking, Helen. The dead of Bete Noire do not go to Elysium. Nor Tartarus, for that matter.

[wasneverasked]

Then when I pass, I shall search for you and bring you to your love.

[cassie_of_troy]

I don't think you'll ever die. Too stubborn.

[wasneverasked]

[Nudge nudge.]

I shall pass dutifully after my King. Then we may enter death together, hand in hand, glorious as any Queen and King.

[cassie_of_troy]

And if Zeus snatched you up? Set you among the stars?

[wasneverasked]

He is no father of mine. [That right goes to Tyndareus. The man who held her little hands when she first learned to walk, and swept her up high into the air to elicit a laugh from a pouting child.] He has no power over me.

[cassie_of_troy]

You know how the gods are. Unpredictable.

Even without their powers...

[wasneverasked]

I will fight like a true daughter of Sparta for my right to walk into the Underworld alongside my King. As Tyndareus taught me.

[cassie_of_troy]

He loved you. That is what makes a father.

[wasneverasked]

He taught me to speak and think. No daughter could ever ask for more.

[cassie_of_troy]

No.

None could...

[She lowers her eyes.]

[wasneverasked]

[Helen will just hug you warmly.]

[cassie_of_troy]

Helen. Advise me on a complicated matter. There is no one in Bete Noire who can help me with this.

[wasneverasked]

Of course, Cassie. What is it that is troubling your mind.

[cassie_of_troy]

I've met a new goddess here in this city. The goddess of things unmade.

She...

[Cassandra scowls, uneasily.]

[wasneverasked]

[A frown.] What is her name.
