Chapter 8

It was early afternoon and the army was do to leave in the next few hours. The journey they were to trek would take just under two weeks to reach. Luckily, it was late summer and the journey would be warm. It was easier to travel in the mid seasons. Not too cold and not too hot.

Thera's mind raced as she prepared everything. Two weeks�with Prince Hector�The nervousness she felt around the Prince was un-measurable. When she first met him, his title was what ignited her uneasiness. As time drove on it was the mere presence of him. He was very tall and very muscular, Troy's finest. For the longest time she denied her attraction and tried to tell herself it was merely infatuation because of whom he was.

She was broken from her thoughts when the door started to open. She looked up and saw Malva step inside and close the door behind her. "Hello, " she greeted with a light smile and continued to gather her things. Not that I have many things to call my own she thought blandly to herself. Servants were allowed to have their own possessions but they had so little time to enjoy them.

"Lady Briseis allowed me a moment to come and wish you a safe trip, " Malva said with a bit of nervousness to her voice. She looked around in a fidgety manner. "Is there anything you need help with? I could help you pack for your journey�" she put her hand over her mouth to hold back a sob. "I'm sorry�"

Thera's heart almost broke at the sight of her closest friend. "Oh Malva�" she walked up to her and embraced her. "There's no need to cry everything will be alright I promise. Prince Hector will negotiate peace and we will return home before winter at most." As she spoke the words she found she said them to comfort herself as well. She too worried of not returning home for some time. It both thrilled and frightened her. "Everything will be alright." She said the words in a daze as she mutely stroked the young woman's hair.

Malva gently pulled away and wiped away her tears, "I can't believe you're actually going. You will have no one to talk too and you'll be completely surrounded by men." She pushed her hair away from her face with frustration. "I don't see how you're going to be able to stand it. I just�I know how duty bound you are and I know how important this is to you, but do you realize what you're really getting yourself into Thera? You will be alone with Prince Hector and his army of men for only the Gods know how long."

Thera sighed, "Prince Hector would not have asked me to go with him if he thought my life would be in immediate danger."

"Immediate danger is the key word here Thera!" Malva almost yelled. "Whom is going to protect you from Prince Hector?"

"Calm yourself Malva, " Thera said sternly afraid someone would hear her from outside. "I am well aware of my situation once we reach the northern territory." She admitted. "

"Do you really?" Malva gaped in shock. "Thera you've never been with a man before! Do you honestly think that Prince Hector will be able to curb his own pleasures with you being in his every waking presence for however long you are there?"

Thera sighed in frustration. She was tired of everyone jumping to conclusion about she and Hector. "When is everyone going to realize that I took this duty knowing full well what may happen!" she yelled in frustration slamming her hand against the table. Her frustration went as quickly as it came. She took a deep breath to calm herself and leaned against the table. "I'm sorry for yelling but�I�appreciate everyone's concern but I know what I'm doing. I'm sure Prince Hector wishes for a quick return home just as much as I. To be away from his wife and family for so long must be worrisome?" She went back to packing her things and Malva sat in a nearby chair.

That sat in silence for the longest letting the conversation sink into their minds.

Malva rested her elbows on her knees and propped her chin on her palms. "I don't understand why people must fight. All war causes is heartache and pain on both sides. You would think people would try to negotiate in peaceful ways. Lady Briseis hates it that Prince Hector must go."

"War is sometimes necessary, " Thera said quietly sounding eerily like Hector.

Malva watched Thera pack her things with a sad expression. She was her best friend and she would be without her for an undetermined amount of time. It could be weeks, months�maybe even years�she thought sadly. "Well�" she stood and smoothed out her robe. "�I just wanted to wish you a safe journey. Lady Briseis and I will pray for you and the army."

Thera took a sheer white fabric from her things and walked over to Malva. "Here I want you to have this, " she put it around her shoulders and smoothed it out. "That way you will have something of mine."

Malva smiled and gave her a warm hug. Thera returned the hug and kissed her forehead. "Go before Lady Briseis sends the troops looking for you, " she instructed with a warm smile.

Malva laughed, "Alright." She went for the door and took one last look at her friend as she left.

Thera let the smile fall from her face as she turned back to her things. She had one sack of her things and another sack of royal robes that Andromache insisted she take to wear during her stay. In case a soldier came to their tent or Hector took her outside the camp for whatever reason. She took a deep breath and looked out the window that overlooked part of the city. It was time�a journey for her was beginning. Troy was her home�Troy was her duty.

"Well�time to go�" she said quietly to herself. She gathered her sacks and headed out.

This was a filler chapter pretty much, just to help me nudge in the right direction of where I want to go next. Hope everyone is enjoying the story so far. Please review!
