There are so many ways to exist I’d rather just not. I can find a way to hate from above. A way to disguise myself from myself.

The illiad but its in a Kindergarden AU setting.

The troyans (aka class A) and the Greeks (class B) have been going in an all out war of 9 years (30 minutes actually) with each other in a battle to the death (rock paper scissors actually) because Paris and Menelaus started playing after trying to see who would win in a rock paper scissors game and now Helen wanted in, and then the rest of the class wanted in and now the two classes suddenly want to win, putting the stakes of who gets to use what part of the playground in recess.

Agamemnon starts cheating by using finger guns and saying it's valid, Helen goes inside to play with Cassandra and watch movies put by Teacher Aphrodite. Hector gets mad when he looses and accidentally punches Aquilles, misses, hitting Patroclus instead who gets a bruise mark and Aquilles bites Hector, the three are grounded with Patroclus and Hector going to the infirmary. Ajax and Odysseus have a small play among themselves and Ajax looses, Aneas goes home before he looses to the other class, Teacher Ares looses to Diomedes, is put in time out.

Odysseus wins the last round against Paris, Meneleaus and Helen have fallen asleep with Cassandra watching movies. Everyone else goes home and Odysseus is left alone because his parents forgot to pick him up. He tries to go alone, gets lost on the hallways and ends up in the second grade with Callisto and Circe who keep him company until Teacher Athena picks him up and drives him back home.

You ever think Cassandra just started getting increasingly more annoyed than saddened at the fact that the troyans were doing every single thing they should NOT be doing to get out alive.

#cassandra of troy #greek mythology #youd think after the 17th time and 3rd house arrest she would just pack her bags but i gotta admire the resilience atp #i mean with the way she saw the future she should have avoided her tragic death ngl #hah. plothole homer

If Peleus (Achilles' dad) became a servant, he would be quite loved by every single greek hero and heroine.

>Chiron: Great friends. Chiron saved his life when they met and later teach his kid.

>Heracles, Dioscuri, Asclepius, Caenus: Fellow Argonauts, probably have fond memories of the guy.

>Jason and Medea: I'm guessing they will be very grateful for the whole "making the only kid who survived their marriage become king of Iolcus" thing.

>Atalante/Nyalter: She kicked Peleus' ass SO hard he bragged about it non-stop to his son to the point where he consider her a childhood hero so... Yeah, they on good terms.

>Astraea: Wrestling (affectionate)

>Circe: Wrestling (horny)

>Hektor: All the good endings Andromache, his wife, had in the myths, are thanks to Peleus. (Even is said ending is marrying Helenus, one of Hektor's siblings, but I'll explain that in a moment)

>Paris (and Apollo): Ok, this one has A LOT to unpack. Yeah, Paris and Apollo killed his son (and in some myths Apollo also killed his grandchild, Achilles' son Neoptolemus, but he was kind of a dipshit so who cares) BUT Peleus, if memory serves me right, was very kind with Helenus (one of Hektor and Paris' siblings who was also the twin brother of Cassandra of Troy, as well as Apollo's lover) who is well known as the oracle who betrayed the troyans which lead to Paris being murder by Philoctetes so... I guess they are even?

>Odysseus: Just guys being dads :)

>Leonidas I, Iskandar/Alexander: Just guys being kings :)

>Orion/Artemis: Orion and Peleus literally never interact before, so I can't see a reason for them to hate each other. Also, they are sort of related? (Orion dating Artemis, who is like... A cousin? to Achilles' mother Themis). Even if Peleus isn't that fond of Apollo, he will probably be in good terms with Artemis because of Atalante.

>Europa: Similar to Orion, also old people bonding over their kids pictures in their wallets.

>Gorgon Sisters: Again, they never interacted, but I can see Stheno taking a like on a guy who likes being kicked by a woman, Euryale being indifferent about him and the Medusas being like "as far as greek heroes go, this one is tolerable."

>Asterios: This would be like, when you put someone very young and someone very old to try to figure out how to use a computer or a smartphone, and they both suck but they have a fun time bonding with each other.

>Penthesilea: *clicks tongue* I'm sure Hektor would be a good reason for them to be in good terms when Penth's berserker status didn't make her prone to try to murder him everytime they met due to how strongly he is related to Achilles.

>Georgios (technically listed as a Greek Servant): Photograph and horses buddies.

"I will grow a thousand thrones before I recede. I will allow small advances before I creep through the slit of your time. I guess I could grow a fondness for the taste of blood. My nose it bleeds from lack of use. Every touch is a wound and the test to smear."

Cassandra watching how Troy's being burned... (Or why sometimes, seeing the future; is not a desirable thing you will want to have!)

According to a Myth... Cassandra, was a Troyan princess than was extremely beautiful; so much, than she atracted Apollo's/Apollon's attention; and he asked her what she wished the most in The World, and she answered than she wanted ''To be able to see the future''; to which Apollo/Apollon said than he will granted it, with only one condition: Than after she gained the gift of the profecy... She will became his lover. Cassandra accepted the deal, and the handsome and eternally young God of the Sun; proceed to first teaches her the ways of predict the future, and in the end of the many months of lessons; he granted her the ability to see the future... (Cassandra, was overjoyed to have this divine gift; once she realized than things happened, after she saw them before in her mind!)

Apollo/Apollon, told to the Princess; than he fulfilled her wish, so it was already time ''Than she fulfilled her part, and became his lover...'', but the prideful Cassandra; said to Apollo/Apollon, than she will never be his lover: Apollo/Apollon, feeling tricked and angry; went to Cassandra and kissed her, and before to leave her forever; he spitted inside her mouth, and told her before to dissapear; than from now on, she will continue to see the future; but none will believe her. Casandra, at first; thoughted than it wasn't true, but it didn't take long for her to realized; than her precious gift, was turned into a curse: She even predicted Troy's Destruction, and the Killing of her own Family; and the only thing she did, was screaming than somebody believe her, with not avail...

Since I had 9 years old, I had predicted things; but the mayority of this things, is not The Lottery Numbers or what Racing Horse/Sport Team will makes you rich (than is the most important reason of why many wishes to see the future: To became rich, overnight!) or nothing of that sort: Natural Disasters in The World, Problems in all Nations (Including my own Nation); Personal Tragedies, Family's Accidents, and sadly... The sudden death of two elderly relatives than, despise they were already old; and I was almost an adult, I wasn't ready to say goodbye to neither of them; specially, to the one that died first; and except to a few illness... He was mostly healthy, and in only a few hours; he passed to suddenly be seriously sick... To be gone. Why I'm telling this?! You may think...

Is simple, my friend: Predict the future, sometimes... Is not wonderful, at all!

I had save a few lives, but... I couldn't avoid the death of the relatives I mentioned above, or when a natural disaster is about to cause death and/or destruction; I could avoid people to being harmed by telling what I saw, but I didn't knew what will happened to me, or... Sometimes, being unable to avoid than someone passed for a really bad moment, 'cause they refused to listen or they didn't believed me, in the first place.

I'm nor a heroine, much less a villianess: I'm only a human being than desires to be normal, and have loyal friends in real life; with an ability than... I really sometimes, I don't want to have.

...Like in Cassandra's Myth, I was mocked for telling what will happened; and the only thing I could make, is seeing powerless how people went straight to a trouble; than could have being avoid, and watched them suffer miserable; as result. (...Is one of the worst feelings, ever!)

...I had people of my own family, either questioning my mental health; or, implying than I did something to provock things to happen. (Which, is very painful to hear; of your own family)

...Relatives with who I growned up with, they bothered me 'cause I warned them of future troubles; or telling me than ''You will be more useful, if you will predicts the lottery numbers, so we could be rich!'' (If The Gods/Goddesses, The Universe; or The Source of All Life, decides than saving your life; is more important than you becoming filthy rich... You shouldn't despise that help, by telling such thing: If you are smart, will sacrifices things than you like to buys for months or a few years; and saves your money [ only taking enough for an real emergency, to put the same amoutn you takes in the account/piggy bank; again], then... You don't really need the Lottery/Betting, to become rich!)

...People than were supposedly ''My friends, or Relatives closer to my age'', just ignored my predictions; but when the prediction became true... They accused me of awful things, and verbally abused me. (Since then, I'm became very cautious of ''To who and when, I tell what may happen...'')

Not always something I saw, turned into a beautiful reality; (Or... A nightmare!) but... Is more often than it will happen, than it's not. Or... Not always I can see the future: I think I wouldn't be able to function in real life, if that happened to me. (In the same way, than I wouldn't be able to live an almost normal life; if I was visited by The Deities, 24/7!)

The conclussion, is this: Don't envy, or wishes to be able to see the future... Some us wishes than will be only be able to pass at least a whole year, living a normal life!

Than all of you be able to see the future, only when you really need to know it; and than you lives the happiness you wish to have, someday... So Be It!

Song of Aquilles and Circe crossover because Tethis decided to bring Aquilles to Ea so he wouldn't go to war and now Circe just has to deal with a wildraging depressed gay separated from his lover until Circe snaps and is just like: "Fuck it Helios! I'm going to find this child's partner!" And they meet the Greek heroes along the way, who where trying to grab Aquilles and bring him to the war, so Circe has to turn a few men to pigs every five seconds unless they want to be discovered that they got out of land and kidnap Aquilles for themselves. Unknown to them Patroclus is in the care of Diomedes and Odysseus (more like under new management) trying to find Aquilles.

And then the Troyan war doesn't happen because of this cat and mouse game. Or eventually they have to due to the gods wanting Troy to end, but too late Aquilles already got a new mom and she pretty fucking powerful.

Ohhhh what if through all the traveling Odysseus and Patroclus find Cassandra through some means (probably Cassandra trying to stop them from attacking Troy but failing miserably) and start to notice that all of her false prophecies are becoming true or that her panic might be a little more than just hysteria so Odysseus finds a loophole (cue the Odysseus "my name is nobody" cyclops trick, therefore I believe her, edit: or better yet Diomedes, Patroclus, Cassandra and Odysseus with some of his crew members are forced into the Oddesy adventure waaaayyy too early where Odysseus does the cyclops trick to escape from said cyclops and during this Cassandra prophesied something like how Odysseus will say his name to the cyclops and therefore will anger poseidon for attacking his sons, and Odysseus is like "o my gods, I believe you").

Meanwhile Circe and Aquilles somehow get to Egypt and find Helen hidding in the temple of Harthor and proceeded to kidnap her back to Sparta— but oh Hey no Meneleaus is in Troy and oh no.

Edit: Adding on another crossover I want to see over the Goddess Hathor being the best Goddess of Love and Beauty and when Aphrodite comes to find Helen who has by that time escaped to Sparta, Hathor puts up with none of her shenanigans and and send her away. And aphrodite can't simply just go against this goddess who is the consort to the most powerful god of the Egyptian pantheon right about now....
