• you were the daughter of Menelaus' general
• you met helen when you were little at a party, all the adults were drinking, dancing and shouting.
• so not too ideal for a young child.
• you quietly snuck away to the gardens, where you saw a little girl, roughly your age with glowing blonde curls sitting by a small pond of water
• you went up to her , she seemed quite friendly.
• "what are you doing?" you asked
• " im skipping stones, do you want to play with me?"
• you grew insanely close. and neve parted, where she went you followed, and you never had a single argument.
• as children you would run through the streams and pond pretending to be nymphs
• she would tell you the great stories of her father: Zeus the king of the Gods
• years later the two of you were sitting and crying and the same pond where you had met, Helen was going to be married. To that old skunk Menelaus too.
• after the wedding, Helen became very unhappy, but you always took time out of your day to visit her.
• you would read by the pond, sing hymns or bring her a shiny new himation that you had weaved. she would tell you all the gossip that had been spreading around the palace, and tell you how Menelaus snored like a wild boar.
• one night there was another big feast, nothing out of the ordinary , except for the guest that would not keep his eyes off Helen.
• you knew who he was, everyone did. he was prince Paris of troy, and the fact that he was looking at Helen so much was not good.
• you had heard the stories, the handsome prince that would go from town to town sleeping with every man and woman.
• if he did anything with Helen and Menelaus found out, he would be dead before dawn
• but after the days that followed, after you warned Helen to stay away , and after she did the opposite you noticed how happy she was.
• even when she was with you , she was always slightly down or melancholic.
• She told you that she had finally felt love and that she has never been happier.
• and a week after the party she came to you, it was the night that the Trojans were leaving.
• she told you her stupid plan, that would end up costing so many lives. she told that you couldn't change her mind but she wanted to say goodbye.
• you realized that there was no scenario where she doesn't end up leaving. so you wrapped some fruits in a cloth for the journey, wrapped her in your favorite veil, as a parting gift she also gave you her veil, and you gave her a small spartan pendant you had made out of wood when you were small. you wished her well, told her to never forget home, and said goodbye.
• that was the last time you saw her.
• or so you thought
• a decade later , Troy was burning in flames, and you were frantically running through the city trying to find any sight of helen.
• you had been a medic, and your father didnt want to leave you behind, so you ended up joining him on the beaches of troy. all those years it was like torture, your best friend behind those walls, and you could do nothing.
• meanwhile helen was running down the corridors holding paris' hand, they had to get out of here.
• Andromache was not far behind, with Briseis. there were people running in every direction and smoke filled the air.
• But Helen found a recognized you from the shining thread of her old veil on her head
• She would run from Paris and give you the biggest hug
• You would hurry out of troy with her and the rest of her now family
• And you would never part ever again
