#hector: it's back

What are the top ten murder attempts ody tried against paris?

(Top five is also fine)

Struggling to come up with a list atm, so have a moment that'd be part of it instead. Inspired by this Game of Thrones scene.

When Odysseus was a boy, he, Polites and Eurylochus once found a bird that had fallen out of its nest. Polites had cradled it in his palms, insisting on returning it to its home and they had agreed. They were boys with all the sweat, energy and scrapes of well-seasoned tree climbers.

They could climb a tree but they neglected to remember that they had no control over nature's elements. A gust of wind, a careless movement, a moment of contact, and the nest tumbled out of the branches. Sticks held together by bird saliva offered the eggs no protection against gravity.

Odysseus looked at Paris, who stood so very close to the edge of his beloved city's walls, the structure taller and stronger than any tree on Ithaca's soils. But his skull.........

He took one step forward.

Would it be hollow? Would he finally get a glimpse of a brain, small as it might be, and its grey matter? Would the ground muffle the sweet melody of Paris' death rattle?

A vine crept up his shin, invisible thorns digging into muscles without drawing blood. He took another step, sole slippery as if stepping on sea foam.

Would he see the white of bone amongst the gorey mess of red? Would his blood seep into every crevice and crack the same way blood drips down an altar? It'd be fitting, considering the labours these damn walls were enduring as of late.

There were hands, countless tapering fingers filled with ichor-strength to the tip of every nail, creeping over his shoulders, his curls, his neck, Behave. Behave little owl, stand down little king, you cannot-

Oh but he will. He will, even if it costs him a leg, his body, his sanity, even if it kills him. He's close enough to smell Paris' nauseating rose perfume and it's enough to overpower the pain of thorns, the pressure of hands.

He need not a gust of wind, only a push. Just one push-

A hand was laid over his shoulder, big, mortal but final.

"We best head back inside, lest they have archers." Hector said.

Paris turned around, a tension he hadn't been aware of leaving his shoulders. "Yes, lets."

He reaches out to wrap an arm around his prize's waist but Hector shoots him a stern glare. His pious brother dared not dig his fingers into Odysseus' shoulder, lest he sullies the flesh of a mortal owned by Aphrodite, but his hand is heavy with warning.

Paris frowns but returns inside without a fuss.

Hector's anchor-like hand remains on Odysseus' shoulder until he's returned to his and Paris' rooms.

It saddens me that Helen of SPARTA is mostly known as Helen of TROY. As if she wasn't born, raised, and most likely, died in Sparta. Yes, she was of TROY for a while...But she was able to go back home to where she WANTED TO BE.

"Better were the days when mastery of seas came not from bargains struck with eldritch creatures, but- by the sweat of our brows and the strength of our backs and the courage of our hearts!" (Extended from these: x, x)
