He's standing in front of me now. For all the times I've warned Paris, for all the times I've told new soldiers, my mind is not on the predator in front of me.

I can only think of my son.

Astyanax. I loved him from the moment I saw him, as every father does. Not even as big as my arm, and yet... such perfection. I wondered how something so tiny could be so beautiful, could instill such love in a person.

I know he will grow to be a great man. He'll have his mother's wit and charm, his mother's intelligence, his mother's looks... and hopefully, he'll have bits and pieces of myself sprinkled her and there, wherever they are useful. I know he will be resilient and strong. I know he will be a prince.

But will he remember me?

It is the last thing I should be thinking about, standing face to face with my killer. But I can not help but think it.

Will my son remember me?

As a turn and cast a glance back at the wall one last time, I know that I will never truly learn the answer.

But my entire being hopes the answer is yes.

Remember, I will still be here,
As long as you hold me, in your memory

Remember, when your dreams have ended,
Time can be transcended,
Just remember me

I am the one star that keeps burning, so brightly,
It is the last light, to fade into the rising sun

I'm with you,
Whenever you tell,
My story,
For I am all I've done

Remember, I will still be here,
As long as you hold me, in your memory,
Remember me

I am that one voice, in the cold wind,
That whispers,
And if you listen, you'll hear me call across the sky

As long as,
I still can reach out, and touch you,
Then I will never die

Remember, I'll never leave you,
If you will only,
Remember me

Remember me...

Remember, I will still be here,
As long as you hold me,
In your memory

Remember,
When your dreams have ended,
Time can be transcended,
I live forever,
Remember me

Remember me,
Remember... me...

Okay, that's the end!

Thanks to y'all for reading and reviewing, I really, really appreciate it.

SO here goes....

Thank you to Eerin's Owl, Newbrown, Arien Star, Lady Hades, Elusia, Stahlfan125, Tea Monster, Sara and Trust No One, all of you left me many nice reviews that cheered me up so much, no matter how little you write.

Special thanks go to Spinal-Biatcha, for being such a good cheerleader in putting up with my annoying chapter talks, and to Queen Arwen, because you leave such beautiful and heart warming reviews.

(And P.S.- I'm currently starting a story called Cousin Dearest about Briseis. I don't know if it will work out, but hopefully ((cross your fingers)) you'll see me again in the Troy department in a little while. if that doesn't pan out, you should be able to find me around somewhere- all you have to do is look. :D)
