Achilles' Choice: The Price of Glory

In the old world, destiny was not something given — it was something chosen.

Achilles was offered two futures:

A long and quiet life,
his name fading like smoke in the wind…

or a short life burning with glory,
his name carried in song for a thousand years.

He knew the cost.
He knew the price.
He chose the fire.

This is not a story about victory.
It is a story about what a man becomes
when he decides that meaning is worth more than time.

Glory is bright.
Glory is beautiful.
But glory takes everything in the end.

Some are remembered forever.
Most are forgotten.

But all of them choose.

This is Achilles’ choice.
The price of glory.
