Summary
After centuries apart, two lost souls find each other again within a small glade in a secluded corner of Elysium. Achilles faces his fears, finding himself face to face with the one he had loved above all else when he was alive. Patroclus learns that perhaps not all hope is lost.
Their eyes locked, two beacons of light finding their way to one another. Patroclus’ eyes, soft and brown like the pelt of a doe, rich and anchoring like the depths of the ocean melted like honey through the gaps of his fingers. They searched his face, flitting this way and that as if there was something that he couldn’t find. His face slackened, desperately morose, the way he often got when they were discussing matters beyond their comprehension as children on the jutting mountainside of Pelion and men on the shores of Troy.
Achilles’ name left his lips in a breath. Hushed and barely discernible above the gentle current of the Lethe. Yet the word echoed deep in his eardrums, ricocheted off the walls of his skull, rattled across the valleys of his ribcage.
