Chapter 2
They soon reached the stairs that lead up to the palace, Callidora saw some old men wearing robes. Then she saw another man who wore a completely different robe, Callidora already could tell that he was the king. He looked much wiser and more fitted to be the ruler of Troy. Priam walked towards Callidora “welcome to Troy princess Callidora of thebes” he said and then gave her a hug and a kiss on each cheek. Callidora had never received such a warm welcome before. “Callidora, Callidora” she was grabbed and pulled into two gentle arms. “It’s been along time Andromache” she said hugging her big sister back.
Andromache looked at her baby sister “far to long” and she gave Callidora another big hug. Once the hugs were all done Priam had ordered a servant to take Callidora to her chambers and help her get ready before the welcoming feast. Callidora’s chambers were in the same hall as Hector and Andromache’s room was. Andromache was happy that her little sister’s room wasn’t to far away from hers. When Callidora reached her new room it was beautiful. She sat on the double bed and it felt very comfy underneath her, the servant got the tub ready for Callidora.
About an hour later she was already and the servant was showing her the way to the dining hall. It was huge and Callidora saw the royal family and all the advisors sitting round the table. Hector noticed her standing their in a beautiful Trojan robe which the females from the royal family wore. Andromache and Briseis both wore the gold crown of leaves. Callidora wore the small gold hoop around her head which she was proud to wear in front of Troy’s royal family. It presented her as the daughter of the king of Thebes. The hoop wasn’t just gold but it had sacred patterns on it which symbolized their country. Only the Theban royal members could read it and no one else, it truly made her special.
Hector walked over to her and offered his hand which she so kindly took and he walked her over to the large table. Callidora sat in-between Andromache and Briseis, their was lots of delicious foods placed in front of them. Fine wine was being poured into every ones gold goblets. Their was a lot of talking and laughing and entertainment during the entire evening. Callidora had excused herself to get some fresh air, she had never been into the big dinners.
Callidora looked out to the open view a new view that she would be seeing quite often. It was kind of hard believing she was actually in Troy. Of course in time she would get use to it and also be with her sister. “Was this the will of the gods, to send me here and find what I am searching for” she asked herself. “The gods have many ways on changing ones lives” someone said from behind her. Priam had seen his young guest walk out and decided to have a one on one chat. He walked up to the railing next to Callidora “Andromache has told me that you are a great believer in the gods” Priam told her. “She is right, my whole life I have believed in them and hoping that they will lead me to what I am searching for” Callidora replied.
“I am sure that what ever you are searching for, the gods will be your guide” Priam said, “I thank you for your kind words my lord” Callidora said back to him, “we are family” he replied. Priam was very happy that Callidora had come to his shores for a visit since he had not seen her in five years. He remembered the day when King Eetion had introduced her to him. When he had met her, it felt as if she was one of his own for how much she seemed like him. It seemed that the whole time Callidora was their, Priam was the only one she really talked to. Priam wasn’t sure if she would remember that since it was such a long time ago and she was only a mere child. Now that Callidora was in his home again, he would take care of her as if she was his own daughter.
************************************************************************
The next morning Callidora was already up and ready, she was walking through the beautiful garden. The flowers of all different colors made her think that she was in a paradise. “It seems that Aphrodite has put pure beauty into these flowers” she said to herself. Before Callidora realised that she wasnt alone, she had no idea that someone was walking towards her. “Lady Callidora” she heard a soft voice from behind her, Callidora turned around and saw Hector. He wasn’t wearing a robe this time but armor “your majesty” Callidora bowed. “You can call me Hector we are family after all” he told her, “of course please forgive me” she said. “I will only forgive you if you call me by my first name” Hector said. “Is their some thing that you need” Callidora asked him, “Andromache asked me if you were interested in going down to the temple of Apollo, she said that if you would like to go, I will take you down because she is a little busy at the moment” Hector told her “thank you” she replied.
They both rode on horses to get to the temple because it made it much easier than walking. When they arrived Hector helped Callidora of the horse and lead her inside the temple. When Callidora walked in she saw a beautiful statue of Apollo made out of gold. “Say a prayer and I am sure Apollo will shine on you” Hector told her, Callidora walked up to the alter. She got down on her knees and started praying, ‘I know that I probably say this a lot but where can I find what I’m looking for, Apollo you are a god that I have never prayed to before but can you lend me some sunshine to help me find my way’ she prayed. Callidora didn’t want to sound selfish and to tell the truth she wasn’t sure if she was. Her whole life her happiness had come from her family for she loves them dearly.
Callidora’s family means the world to her and she would do anything to make them happy. Callidora had everything a young girl could want, their was just one thing that she couldn’t get so easily. Maybe the reason why Callidora believed in the gods so much was because she hoped they would give her the answer. The answer to the one thing that could fill her completely. Hector watched her pray, he could see the sincerity in Callidora why she was praying. Once Callidora had finished praying they left the temple and Hector decided to take her along the beach. Show her how much different their land is to hers and what makes it so special. As the temple was right on the beach they didn’t take the horses with them.
“This scene is amazing, its so much different to the one at home” Callidora said, “these shores are what makes troy such a beautiful place, it shows that no matter how far this beach goes, every grain of sand every little stone is apart of troy” Hector told her. Callidora looked at him and could tell that Hector loved his country and will do anything to keep Troy and its people safe. “You must love this country so much and that is why you will be a great king for troy” Callidora said. Hector looked at her “thank you” was his only reply. Hearing those words not just from Callidora but from others makes him feel more confident when he becomes king.
“You know when it was time for Andromache to get married, I thought she would be getting married to a selfish, no gooder, but now I know I was totally wrong, my sister is very lucky to have you Hector” Callidora told him. Hector wasn’t sure what brought this on but he wouldn’t question her. He was brought out of his thoughts when he saw Callidora splashing her feet in the water. “Callidora what are you doing” he asked her, “I’m having fun” she told him. “Come on Hector you should come and join me the water is so refreshing” Callidora said. Hector wasn’t sure if he should or not, when he was suddenly grabbed and pulled in. Hector lost his balance and fell right into the water getting his whole armor socked and him as well. Hector wiped his face when he heard laughing. He looked up and saw Callidora laughing at him and wouldn’t stop ‘she’s laughing’ he thought. No one had ever laughed at him when doing something stupid only Paris of course. This was the first time any one but his younger brother had laughed at him. Not even Andromache does but here, his wife’s little sister is just laughing her head of.
A tear rolled down Callidora’s cheek, she could tell Hector wasn’t to pleased being all wet. It was just so funny seeing him trip that she couldn’t help herself from laughing even though it was rude doing so. Once Callidora calmed herself down, she walked over to Hector and offered him a hand. He accepted it but because his armor was so heavy and especially now that it was wet. Callidora went tipping down and landed on top of him, it was a good thing they were in the shallow. Now Callidora was all wet also, they looked at each other and in that one moment a spark went up both their backs. When Callidora realized how close they were she quickly pulled away. “I, I’m sorry” and she got up and ran of “CALLIDORA” Hector yelled out. He watched her run of back to the temple where the horses were.
Callidora got on the horse and galloped back to the palace, so many thoughts were running through her head she wasn’t sure what to think. At first it was just a little laugh and then something she couldn’t even explain just happened. It was as if a barrier had been broken by how close they were, even though nothing had happened. Callidora knew then that it was a barrier that should never have been unsealed. The only thing Callidora could think of was getting back to the palace.
Hector was walking back to his horse, it seemed that the same thoughts were running through his head as well. The only thing to do now was head back home and talk to Callidora. Of course having a slight clue that she might not even want to talk about anything with him at the moment. Hector had no choice, of course he wasn’t quite sure what he was suppose to be talking about. Was their anything to talk about, he had no clue what so ever. The only thing Hector wanted to know is why she ran of so suddenly when nothing really happened. That’s what he thought anyway, Hector rode back with all these different thoughts in his head.
******************************************************************************
Back at the castle Callidora was in her room pacing back and forth and rubbing her head at the same time. When Callidora heard a knock on her door ‘oh please don’t be him’ she thought to herself. Callidora walked over to the door “who is it” she didn’t want to open it and see Hector standing their. “Its Andromache can I come in Callidora” she was so thankful that it was only her sister. Callidora opened the door and let her older sister come in, “how are you finding living here” Andromache asked. “It will take me a little getting use to since I am a long way from home but troy is such an amazing place and I am very happy to be here” Callidora replied. “When I found out that father was sending you over here I was so thrilled, not seeing each other after five years is such a long time” Andromache told her. “I have to say I was rather surprised when father told me as well” Callidora laughed.
They both talked to one another about things that they have been both doing and what they should do together. Andromache decided to take her younger sister and give her a tour of the palace the next day. Having the talk with Andromache, Callidora had forgotten the whole situation between her and Hector.
Hector saw Andromache walking out of Callidora’s room and was walking towards his way, “darling I want to thank you for taking Callidora down to the temple but it seems that she is rather tied now so I am going to let her have a bit of a rest before dinner” Andromache told him. She looked at her husband and could tell there was something wrong. “Is something the matter dear” Andromache asked him, “no everything is fine” and they both walked of together. Hector decided that maybe it wasn’t a good idea to bother Callidora now. Besides he had some very important matters to attend to.
