    Summary

    After his death, Achilles finds himself in the underworld. Prepared to face his judgement and eternity, he marches into hell, only to learn that Patroclus never arrived. He sets up vigil outside the gates, and waits.

    ~/~

    'Where is he?’ he demanded, his voice breaking against the colossal thrones like a wooden spear against the walls of Troy. The crowd stirred over his shoulder, whispers amongst ghosts, but Achilles paid them no mind.

    ‘And who do you speak of?’ asked Minos, the barbs of his lashing tongue catching Achilles’s skin, tearing what little remained unmarked. He turned his attention to the last of the judges, and spoke solely to Rhadamanthus.

    ‘Patroclus.’

    Summary

    In the city shared by the sun and sea, the Nameless Prince and war will set Death free.
    Madness will flourish amidst the trees, the Nameless Prince will fall to his knees.
    The weaver shall reignite the flame, ichor and blood will be exchanged.
    Birthright and name shall be claimed, within the god king’s realm shall he eternally remain.
