Episode 4.1.b
>In the TSTT, Trojan War, Bronze Age<
The king at the end of the hall gets to his feet. When he speaks, the room goes quiet, not out of respect exactly, but out of the particular silence that falls when the person with the most power decides to use it.
"Yes," he says. "Paris dishonored my brother. He was a guest in Menelaus's house, and he repaid that hospitality by stealing his wife. Now every Greek who values honor must answer for it." He looks around the hall, and his gaze does not invite disagreement. "We go to Troy. All of us."
There is not much left to argue after that. The Greeks begin to prepare their ships.
One Greek, however, is not there. Achilles is still a boy, and his mother Thetis has hidden him on the island of Skyros, dressed as one of the daughters of King Lycomedes, hoping the war will end or be forgotten before her son is old enough to be sent to it.
The world shifts again. You are on a ship with Odysseus and Diomedes, the island rising ahead of you out of the gray water. The oracles are clear: Troy cannot fall without Achilles. Finding him is not optional.
The ship comes in to shore. Somewhere in the king's household, among all his daughters, one of them is not what she appears to be.
Prompt: Help Odysseus and Diomedes find a way to detect which one of the daughters is Achilles, without offending the king. The Greeks cannot win the Trojan War without Achilles. You must not fail this task. Remember that every myth is told many ways: you may follow the story, or change it.
