But you were desperate, and that was something.Ī deer jumped out of the bush and stood in front of you and Iolanthe, the serving girl let out a deep breath in relief that it had not been a bandit. You did not have any weapons on you, nor were you quite sure of how to fight. Hoping it was an animal instead of the alternative. “Reveal yourself!” You called out, glaring at the bush. You held out your hand, causing Iolanthe to stop her horse immediately, she stared at the large bush in fear. If something happened to the two of you out here, who knows how long it’d for someone to find out, much less track the two of you down.Ī twig snapped, your gaze moved to the bush you heard the noise from. You wish you had told someone where you had gone instead of simply grabbing Iolanthe and telling her you had a very important, secret task for her. The leaves obscured the clouds, causing them to look darker. Though, it could have been a trick of the forest. You hoped it would not start raining, the clouds looked dark enough for it to start storming. The forest path was muddy and badly lighted, Iolanthe carried a torch in front of her as she rode. Whatever awaited you on the path, you would have to face. In silence, the two of you trudged forwards. The serving girl nodded, “Yes! Before my eldest sister had gotten married, she made plenty of offerings to Bridal Aphrodite in hopes of finding a suitable husband.” You and Iolanthe reached the forest, you raised a brow at her, “You are certain the Temple is this way?” Not to mention, your ‘cousin’ Anchises was her lover and their union produced Aeneas. Combined with the fact that the Goddess herself had given Hector and Andromache a wedding gift, you were certain she’d be willing to help you with your lover. Coroebus was dying, you had no time to waste.Īphrodite was your best choice, she already favoured your ‘brother’, Paris from his judgement. But, you couldn’t exactly be picky with your allies in this scenario. That wasn’t necessarily true, Aphrodite’s shenanigans were the catalyst of the Trojan War, which did indeed destroy Troy. Turning your gaze to meet Iolanthe’s brown eyes, ”If we gain the favour of Well-Girdled Aphrodite, no more harm should befall Troy.” We have honoured him accordingly thus far, his anger should not reach the rest of Troy.” You shook your head at the serving girl’s words, “I doubt so. Iolanthe let out a quiet gasp, “Illness will not befall Troy from his wrath, right?” The Temple of Aphrodite was considerably further away than that of Apollo’s. My only option is the Foam-Born,” You said, riding past the agora. “I fear that the Shooter from Afar will not assist us. “Highness, I must ask, why do you go to the Temple of the Mother of Desire instead of the Averter of Harm? What can Richly-Crowned Aphrodite do?” Iolanthe asked, clutching the reins of the horse she was riding. Iolanthe nodded in response, her dark curls falling loosely on her robe. Whatever you see, you speak of to no one,” You told her, leaving no room for her to object to you. Before the two of you left, you made her swear an oath to not tell anyone. You had brought Iolanthe with you, to ensure you didn’t get lost on the way. YOU MADE YOUR WAY TO THE TEMPLE OF APHRODITE, you hadn’t told anyone where you were going, ensuring that your trip remained secret.
