Post Iliad

After the truce called by both sides following Hektor's death, the fighting continued. The Amazons joined on the Trojan side after his death and while they decent fighters, they could not beat Achilles wrath. Achilles killed their queen and sent them to Troy's walls. In a shameful display by the gods, Paris killed Achilles by shooting an arrow at Achilles' heel with the help of Apollo. Of all people, Paris? Are you kidding me? The pretty boy?

After the death of Achilles, I was so excited to get Achilles armor. After all  he's my cousin and the best fighter there is. My main challenger for it was Odysseus who is very strategic and cunning, but he can't possibly match my fighting skills nor match what I did for the Achaeans on the battle field. We both stated our claims to the Achaeans who are going to vote to see who gets it.....The vote is in.......WHAT?? They gave it to Odysseus??!?!

After this terrible disgrace of a vote, I went into a rage. I wanted to kill my comrades for this. In the process, I totally lost it. I slaughtered a herd of sheep thinking they were all Achaeans and I can't live like this. This is disgraceful and I've got to take my life.
