Iliad Setting Novels & Stories

Felixe’s POV It was almost late afternoon when we reached the battlefield of Lucania. It was a valley on the other side of Astros Hill, a small, eroded hill on the eastern boundary of Lucania. I was well-versed in this place, having fought here before. At a distance, I could see Zephyrus’s wolf, Zeus, waiting for me with his warriors. My eyes scanned the place for my mate! She wasn’t here! I frowned in concern since Hera always accompanied her twin in every battle he fought. Was she okay?

“The Alpha has everything under control. Trust him.” Reluctantly, Ella lay back down, though her heart raced with unease. Outside, the warriors were already fading into the distance, boots pounding like drums, blades glinting beneath the full blood moon. War had begun. --- Meanwhile, Lila and her army had arrived at the chosen battlefield under the blood-red moon, several hours ahead of schedule. The winds howled through the empty fields, and the trees stood still, as if holding their breath for the bloodshed to come.

Luca’s POV The cold morning air stung as I stepped outside, the sun still crawling over the horizon. Warriors were already gathering in the courtyard—rows of them, all set and ready. Elijah stood a few paces ahead, barking orders with precision. “No less than twenty in each unit! I want eyes in the trees and on the ridge! Elidor is to be fortified like it’s the heart of this pack!”

“I won’t let him take you from me.” Lillian’s heartbeat stuttered, but she kept her voice steady. “No one will take me from you.” A silence stretched between them, thick with all the words they hadn’t yet said. Then, finally, Aedric nodded. “Then let’s prepare for war.” Lillian turned toward the tent opening, gazing out at the darkened battlefield. The embers of burning torches flickered in the night, the scent of blood and smoke heavy in the air. This was only the beginning.

Adrexa inquires. "Helen left her husband King Menelaus of Sparta, whose older brother is King Agamemnon of Mycenae. Both kings will take this as an insult and an excuse to attack Troy for its riches," I inform them. "The Greeks will not attack our city," the older boy Pallus states angrily. "Our walls were built by Poseidon himself and are impenetrable. No army would dare insult the god Poseidon," Pallus says defensively.

’ They burst into peels of laughter. Even in the darkest moments, the ones residing in Olympus do not discard their children’s desires. From ancient times, when Achilles sided with the greeks, Gods too favored their own beloved heroes. Cassandra knew, in the upcoming war Gods would be beside them, giving strength and inhuman prowess to fight off evil from their holy land.

Jason sneered. Even if it was the Divine Clan of Ancient Greece, its history was far from longer than the history of the Realm of Adria. Before the ancient times, the Realm of Adria had developed civilization, although there was no historical record. At that time, the so-called gods probably didn't appear. "How dare you insult Lord Achilles." An angry voice rang out, and an armored man appeared. In such an enormous museum, there naturally were loyal guards protecting it. That’s because if there were people who believed in it, there were people who hated it.

"Be careful, Ria." Cryx and I, and the others have our own codes basing on Greek and Roman Mythology. Right now, I based it on the glory of Greece, the Illiad by Homer. The Battle between the Acaeans (Greeks) and the Trojans. During their conquer of Chryse, a town allied with Troy, the Greeks captured Chryseis and Briseis. Agamemnon took Chryseis as his crowning glory while Achilles took Briseis. When Chryseis' father learned of this, he offered a magnanimous sacrifice to the god Apollo for his daughter's safe return.

An answer I knew not. ******** 6 pm and the sun had begun its descent, casting its gold hue in the sky. I couldn't find the beauty in it like I did every other day. The scent of decayed plants traced the air reminding me I might end up like them—dead. The Eight elders and a few members of the parliament encircled me, but giving enough space for the impending battle. Troy settled across from the Elders. “Dhinatos!” Their chants echoed, honoring Lydia as she strutted to the middle of the circle.

The time for action had come, and we stepped onto the battlefield, our eyes locked on Liam’s pack. With each step, the ground shook with the weight of our purpose.

The final confrontation loomed on the horizon, and our fate, as well as the fate of Athens Kingdom, hung in the balance.
