I am so sorry for the long wait to update but I was a bit stumped at what I wanted to do next. I've got it all played out in my head but when I try to put on paper or type it�it all jams up lol! I think everyone will be please with this chapter. I still can't tell you how many more chapters this will be, but it's got a long while to go. Thanks to everyone that has read and reviewed! I've recently been getting tons of requests to hurry up and get the next chapter up so here it is! Enjoy!

Chapter 16

"This is insanity Odysseus! If Agamemnon were to find out we were even having this meeting he would have us all beheaded!" Nestor was almost outraged. An hour or so earlier Serena, Odysseus' servant, had given him a secret invitation to a secret meeting. Curious about the nature of the meeting Nestor attended, but had no idea it would be of a mutinous nature.

It was Odysseus that called a secret meeting with the ranking Kings to discuss a plan. The plan Achilles had brought to his attention. A plan that Odysseus thought would work. It would appear they would betray Greece, but in reality they would be saving it from Agamemnon's cruel rule. Agamemnon had started years ago taking over Greece country by country. Never once did he do without bloodshed. The man was incapable of allying peacefully, which was why the secondary Kings of Greece were afraid to stand up to him. It wasn't that they were against the idea of having a supreme ruler of Greece. It was how that ruler would treat such a duty and responsibility. They were against someone such as Agamemnon being that ruler.

Nestor, Agamemnon's right hand man would be the hardest to convince of such treason. Triopas would be much easier to coax considering he was the last of the Greek kingdoms to be conquered. Odysseus himself needed little to be coaxed. As long as Ithaca would not be open to an attack from Agamemnon later, he would do whatever necessary to protect Greece and his own home.

"If you believe the plan is so foolish then why are you still standing here?" Odysseus asked calmly as he took a piece of sliced apple from the silver platter beside him. "I'll tell you why, you believe like the rest of us that Agamemnon is a foolish man with power. You too wish for him secretly to be slain or removed from power."

"This is treason Odysseus, " Nestor whispered in harsh words. "Agamemnon is full of himself I will admit this but he did not get where he is now without knowing a few of his own tricks. Granted, he had Menelaus' army at the beginning and that gave him a great advantage over the rest of us, but be careful before you put yourself in such a vulnerable position."

"I suspect that is what will be his own downfall Nestor, " Triopas interjected hopefully regarding Nestor's comment about Agamemnon's thirst for power.

"Exactly!" Odysseus stood quickly and faced his two fellow Kings, but looked to Nestor with a pleading expression. "Think of it Nestor. This is for the good of Greece. If we help the Trojan's it will put us in their good graces and an alliance will be forged with peace, not war. We will have our kingdom and they will have theirs. Agamemnon is not a peaceful man. Since his rule a kingdom of Greece or all of Greece has been at war with others. If we do not put a stop to it now I fear there will be no Greece in years to come. He will not stop invading country after country and sooner or later we will be defeated."

The room filled with silence as Nestor turned and paced the room slowly for a moment. Odysseus noticed he seemed to be considering the plan, which was good. If he could convince Nestor�then there may be a chance. Nestor was the only man Agamemnon would listen too, or even consider when it came to advice.

"We have already lost so much Nestor�" Triopas reminded quietly. "�Menelaus, Ajax and thousands of our countrymen. All because Agamemnon believes he can conquer an unconquerable city. We can become allied with Troy but not like this�not like this."

Nestor turned and faced Odysseus and Triopas with a defeated expression. "I fear the damage has already been done�"

Serena quietly made her way through the thick wooded area near the backside of Troy's walls. It was so dark she could hardly see a foot in front of her. But she could not use a torch in fear of alerting Trojan soldiers. If she alerted them they would be curious as to why a lone female Greek was wondering the city walls.

She gasped when a hand reached out and pushed her against a nearby tree. It happened so fast she didn't see who it was until she looked up and saw the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. She could never forget who they belong too�it was Achilles. "I have a message from King Odysseus, " she explained meeting his gaze. "He wanted me to tell you that he has fulfilled his end of the bargain�hopefully you have done yours."

He regarded her for a moment then carefully released her and stepped back a respectable distance. "He is a fool for letting you venture these woods alone Serena, " he berated in quiet distress. "Why did he send you?"

"It seemed less obvious. No one gave me a second glance as I made my way out of the camp. They assumed I was gathering water�just like Odysseus thought they would, " she revealed. "Even if I had been captured I would have killed myself before I would have allowed the plan to fall into the wrong hands."

"Why do you risk your life so much?" he asked curiously, already assuming the answer.

She could help but chuckle, "I would think it obvious my Lord Achilles. King Odysseus has given me a good life�it is the least I can do for him, for Greece."

They stared at one another for a long moment.

He turned and started to leave, "Return and tell Odysseus I have held up my end of the deal�that Hector will await his signal�"

"�wait!" she called out urgently. "I know a way into the city."

He stopped and glanced over his shoulder with narrowed eyes, as if suspicious.

She gave him a bold expression, "I once lived in this city as a young child. My parents lived in the outskirts to the west when our village was burned to the ground by bandits. I was taken into a slave ring and shipped to Greece�where I was taken into Odysseus and Penelope's home."

Now Achilles understood her true motives, in a way. She wanted to be faithful to Odysseus but Troy was her true home.

"There is a secret passage that way, " she nodded in the general direction. "It's near the rivers closest point to the wall. It will lead you to a secluded part of the city. It's a strait shot so you can't get lost." She explained with ease. "Odysseus suggests you wait until dawn. Agamemnon plans to launch an attack, which in turn Odysseus and the other Kings will turn against him at the last moment. That is where you're end of the bargain comes into play."

"Just tell Odysseus to head for the gates, " Achilles reminded. "He has my word that Hector will not attack. The rest is up to him."

She bowed lightly in acknowledgement and started back the way she came.

"Serena�"

She stopped but did not face him.

"Be careful, " he said quietly.

She just stood for a moment. "I will�" she glanced over her shoulder to acknowledge him but he was no where to be seen. It spooked her for a moment but she quickly brushed it off and placed her hood over head and headed back to camp.

If you can't remember who Serena is go back to chapter 12 and it should refresh your memory. She was not in the movie or Iliad. She is my character that I made up for this story. I hope everything is understandable at this point. I'm trying to give you enough but not too much at the same time. I know Briseis or Hector weren't in this chapter but there were a few loose ends I felt that needed to be done. Please read and review, let me know what you think please.
