Summary
"One day this will all be but a distant memory. A painful one but… I know things will be made right again.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“When you were a boy, you used to always say that I was wise. Why is it so hard for you to believe in my wisdom now, hm?” Chiron offers him a small smile, “I have had the privilege of knowing your son– and even though our time together was brief, I know that he will not give up on himself so easily. It’s a matter of waiting for this storm to pass, and you’ll be better off for seeing it through to the other side, Patroclus.”
Even if it is a lie, if it is just false hope, it is the only thing Patroclus has left to cling to. The hope that someday, he will see their son again.After years spent blissfully unaware of a looming prophecy, Achilles and Patroclus struggle to cope when their son goes to Troy in Achilles' place. Separated from his family on the cusp of adulthood, Maximus has his mind set on only one thing: ending this war, and fulfilling the prophecy he was born into, for his parents and siblings, for all of Greece. Even if that means giving his life in return.
