#Cassandra Troyan

[lillyli-74]

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.

For the first time in my life I am afraid I have no real desires

Thinking about the post talking about how The Illiad could be read as Troy Story and I demand and Toy Story illiad crackfic were they are toys from a middle school class, except some belong to the school and others (the ones favored by the gods) to the students.

The war is an elaborated playtime story made by some kids during the year and their free time is just them being toys. Some ideas:

- Odysseus is a Solid Snake action figure but his kid (the nerdy crafty tomboy girl called Athena) has repainted him/made him new cloth clothes he uses over his normal Solid Snake style. Other kids namely Poseidon make fun of Athena for making Ody clothes and giving him a diferent name instead of just calling him Solid Snake( and some umamed assholes about playing with "boy" toys).

- Achiles does not belong to any kid instead he is everyone's favorite toy. Apollo hates him because his action figure Hector from the Troy Royal Family Collection used to be the coolest toy before the school got Achiles from a donation box.

- Helen is Afrodite's barbie doll. She is a special edition rare doll and every girl wants her. She had a fling with school toy Menelaus but Afrodite got Paris as a birthday present and is playing Helen and Paris as a couple (real feelings might arrise???).

- Penelope used to be one of Afrodite's dolls but she gave her to Athena as an apology gift (the girls are frenimies).

- Patroclus is also a school toy and he and Achiles are dating in Toy World. First time the kids played war, Hector killed Patroclus in the make belief world and Achiles refuses to talk to him ever since.

- Cassandra is the only toy from the Troyan Family (is an in-universe cartoon very like Thundercats with a bit lf the new She-ra)Special Edition Apollo doesn't have (tho he gave Paris to Afrodite). He tried to steal her once and was caught by the teacher and grounded. He hates her every since and gives her the worst playtime lines/stories. Only reason he didn't try to break it is cause he knows he'll just be more grounded.

Cassandra Troyan, from KILL MANUAL

[walkingwiththegods1]

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!
