Hector and His Love

I really like stories about Hector/OC so I decided to make one myself, WELL ENJOY.

Chapter 1

The bright sun rose from the horizon shining over the most beautiful city of Troy. Ruled by the wisest man King Priam. Father of Prince Hector and Prince Paris, the two most handsome men in all of Troy. Both with pure black hair with curls and the loveliest brown eyes which could pierce through anyone’s soul. Prince Hector was loved by all and was the next ruler of Troy who would rule wisely like his father. The whole Trojan army respected their future king and would happily die for him on the battle field. Hector was a hero to the Trojan people, for he was the strongest and most skilled full fighter. Once the old light would fall the new light will arise and would shine over all of Troy.

The day Hector was born Priam knew that he would make a fine ruler but not just a ruler but a guardian for his people. Troy was a very famous city not because of its walls which have never been breached but of the beauty Troy held. Many armies from different lands have come to fight the Trojans but none prevailed. The armies of Troy were strong and full of heart, for they had courage and skill to win. Many Trojan soldiers had died with each war they fought even before Hector was born. Those soldiers how ever were never forgotten and would be in the families and friends hearts forever.

Hector now at the age of twenty was in his year for him to wed and produce a heir of his own. Though Hector wasn’t the sort of man who would just marry a stranger that his father had betrothed him to. He wanted to marry a woman that he had fallen in love with and would want to spend the rest if his life with. Though the law says that all royal members must marry another royal member from a different family. Priam had already declared for his eldest son to marry the eldest daughter of King Tiroshi who ruled Sede. Hector had never met her and because of that he wasn’t sure if he wanted to marry her.

Hector had talked to his father about it but Priam had told his eldest son that it was tradition. Priam had been betrothed to Hectors mother and over time he had learned to love her very deeply. Hector knew that his father loved his mother but he wasn’t sure if he could love some woman he had never met before. If only someone had made a law saying they can marry whom ever they chose. However in a sense that would probably never happen since that law was made along time ago.

In the great temple of Apollo the son god which the Trojans worshipped for hundreds of years. A young girl at least the age of sixteen was giving fruit offerings at the alter and saying a prayer. ‘Wonderful Apollo please watch over my father and help him get better with your light of sunshine’ she prayed in her thoughts. “Eloise, Eloise oh their you are, I’ve been looking all over for you” a young girl said walking into the temple. “I am very sorry for worrying you Mina” Eloise replied why standing up.

Eloise was a very beautiful young girl, she had lovely long brown curly hair which shone in the sunlight and beautiful blue eyes. Her figure was slender and the curves were all in the right places. To many, she was a beauty a rose with no thorns to hurt anyone and a soul of pure kindness. Their were stories about a woman named Helen who lived in Sparta and they say that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. Though their had been many people in Troy which have said that Eloise would be just as beautiful. Having so many compliments and graces about her beauty would always make her blush. Eloise never bragged to anyone how lovely she was because she never thought it herself.

Some say she could easily be a noble woman and live in the palace as a princess but all Eloise would do is laugh. Many woman have dreamed that they could be a princess of Troy and marry either Prince Hector or Prince Paris. To Eloise her only dream was for her father to get better and to live a happy life to the end of her days. She had never asked for anything, for the most important thing to her was her family. At the moment however, her father had fallen ill and their was nothing the doctor could do to help him get better. The doctor just told her that he just keep resting and was very sorry that he could do nothing more.

Eloise’s mother had died when she was five years old and her father had raised her and her older brother by himself. Eloise’s brother Hitrocolis had joined the Trojan army and she was so thankful to see him come back alive. Though her brother was in the army and her father was ill, she kept a happy smile on her face. She wanted to be strong for her family and be by her father’s side until the end. Her father had told Eloise that he was not afraid to die because he would live on in her heart and Hitrocolis. Every day Eloise’s father would stay strong and live for her sake and her brothers. Many of Eloise’s fathers friends and neighbors had helped to make him comfortable why Eloise would start to her chores. She was very grateful to all of them and would never forget their sweet kindness.

Eloise and Mina were walking down the steps out onto the sandy beach and watched the waves crash onto shore. “It seems that Poseidon the god of sea is angered today” Eloise said, “why do you say that” Mina asked. “Just look at the waves how they are crashing onto the shore” Eloise told her. “You speak so freely about the gods Eloise why is that so” Mina asked her “because, the gods cant tell us themselves” and Eloise started running of. “Cant tell us, hey Eloise what does that mean” Mina started chasing after her.

In the palace Hector was looking out over his balcony and looking at the large city and the land beyond the walls. “Hector are you in here” he heard his brother calling “yes dear brother” he replied. Paris walked up to him “I thought that you would be down training with the soldiers” Paris asked him. “They are not training today” Hector replied. “Then if that is so why are you stuck in here, surly thier is something you would like to do” Paris said. "I do not feel like doing anything today, I am feeling rather tied" Hector replied.

“Wait I know what it is, your afraid to see father because of this arranged marriage am I close” Paris said. Bingo he got it right on the mark just by looking at the expression on his eldest brothers face. Paris leaned up against the railing “you know you can just tell him that you don’t want to get married to a complete stranger” Paris told him. “I have already talked to him about that but father wants me to get married to this Princess of Sede” Hector told him. “Well look at it this way, your not actually betrothed yet so I have an idea why don’t we go down to the markets, that will get your mind of this whole marriage thing” Paris said.

Hector agreed with him, so they headed down to the stables and saddled up their horses. Once on their horses they soon were on their way to the markets.

*****************************************************************************************

“It sure is busy today don’t you think Hector” Paris said getting of his horse. They had arrived at a small stable in the streets and mounted of their horses and left to look around. Their were hundreds of stalls, some selling fabrics, others selling fruits, vegetables and even wheat and some selling jewelry and many more. Hector looked at everyone walking through the streets going about their own business or talking with others which they know.

“Hey Hector over here” he heard his younger brother yelling at him, he looked over and saw Paris looking at something. Hector walked over to him and saw a whole cart of luscious red apples. “I’ll take two thanks” Paris said to the owner “of course my lord” and he put the apples in a small bag. Paris handed him two gold coins “oh no your majesty they are free” the owner told Paris. “Nonsense I want you to have it, I wont be able to enjoy it if I had not paid for it myself isn’t that right Hector” Paris said. “Yes, my brother is right sir so please take these coins for our gratitude for such delicious looking apples” Hector told the man. “Thank you your majesties thank you so much” the man said bowing to them.

After Paris and Hector said their farewell to the kind man they walked of to keep looking around. Mean while Eloise had just said goodbye to Mina and started to buy some food to take home. She walked over to a stall which was selling some carrots, potatoes and lettuce. “Uh Eloise how are you today” the old lady asked her. “I am very well thank you” Eloise replied “that’s good, tell me how is your father doing” the lady asked. “He is doing very well thank you for asking, how is your husband” Eloise then asked. “He’s fine still as stubborn as ever but I love him” the old lady replied. Eloise laughed “well love is very important to have” Eloise said, “yes it is but when are you going to get married Eloise, surly such a beautiful girl like yourself has been asked for your hand” the lady asked her. “Yes I have been asked but I just know that they are not the ones for me” Eloise replied.

“Ahh, just waiting for the right man to arrive and sweep you of your feet huh, well I am sure Aphrodite will guide you” the old lady said giving Eloise her bag of vegetables. “I am not sure if the goddess of love can help me” Eloise replied. After saying goodbye she walked over to some other stalls to buy some more food.

Hector was walking around when he saw the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his entire life. “By the god of Aphrodite” he didn’t know what to say, Paris noticed his brother wasn’t paying attention. He looked over were Hector was looking and could see that his older brother was looking at a woman. “Why don’t you introduce yourself” Hector was a bit startled when he heard his brother speaking over his shoulder bringing him back to reality. “I have never seen such beauty” Hector said.

Eloise felt a pair of eyes gazing at her, she looked towards Hectors direction and saw him staring at her. ‘It is the crowned prince’ she thought to herself, Eloise couldn’t take her eyes away from him. She had never met him before but knew that by rumors that he was very handsome and those rumors weren’t lies. They just stared at one another it was as if a tie had been bound around them and they couldn’t escape. They both felt so drawn to one another, ‘why cant I look away’ Eloise thought. She knew he was the prince and shouldn’t be looking at him in such a way. Eloise watched Hector as he walked towards her ‘should I run away’ she thought but her legs weren’t moving.

“Who are you” she heard him say with such a delicate and kind voice, Eloise looked up at him noticing he was a tad taller than her. “My name is Eloise” she told him, slightly bowing not to be rude. “I have never seen such beauty in a woman before” Hector told her “you honor me with such praise my lord” Eloise replied. “Do you live around these parts” Hector asked her “yes my lord” she said back. “Tell me how old are you if you don’t mind me asking” Hector asked her something else. “I do not mind at all, to answer your question I am sixteen your majesty” she replied. Eloise wasn’t quite sure why the crowned prince of Troy was asking her such questions. “I apologize if I have been asking to many questions” Hector said, “oh no please do not apologize my lord for there is no need” Eloise told him.

“Hey Hector the sun is setting we have to go” Paris told him why walking towards them “yes I know” Hector replied. “I am very glad that I have been able to meet you Eloise” Hector told her “as am I your majesty” Eloise replied. “Well goodbye and I hope we meet again” said Hector “I am sure we will” and Eloise watched him walk away. Eloise just stood their, she couldn’t believe she had just talked to Prince Hector. He had actually told her that he thought she was beautiful which surprised her a little. Eloise hoped that she would be able to see him again even if they came from two completely different worlds.
