yes this is about Achilles 🙂
✴ SCENE: “The Heel Boy Chronicles”
EXT. DUSTY TRAIL – LATE AFTERNOON
Marco trips over a rock.
Marco (wincing): “Ow—damn it!”
He drops to one knee, rubbing his shin. It’s bleeding a bit. Hermes immediately appears next to him like he was summoned by clumsiness.
Hermes (dead serious):
“Ah yes. The Curse of the Foot.”
Marco: “I tripped.”
Hermes (dramatic whisper):
“So did Achilles… emotionally.”
Marco groans. He knows he shouldn’t ask. He asks anyway.
Marco: “What happened to him again?”
Hermes, already putting on his performance voice:
Hermes: “Legend says his mother dipped him in the Styx to make him invincible. But she held him by the foot like a cheap suitcase, and boom—Achilles becomes 99.9% indestructible. Except his heel. His poor, moist, forgotten heel.”
Marco: “You’re making this weird.”
Hermes (ignoring him):
“So then, years later, a guy with bad aim shoots him in the foot and—bam!—death by ankle. Symbolic. Tragic. Slightly embarrassing.”
Suddenly—
Apollo (appearing like a beam of annoyed sunlight):
“That is not how it happened.”
Hermes: “I was there.”
Apollo: “You were literally stealing cattle in another country.”
Hermes (grinning):
“Multitasking.”
Apollo crosses his arms, glowing faintly. Marco’s still sitting on the ground, bleeding mildly.
Apollo: “It was a poisoned arrow. Shot by Paris, guided by me. It wasn’t just a foot thing, it was prophecy.”
Hermes: “Still died because of a foot. I’m just saying.”
Marco: “Can someone help me up?”
Hermes: “Yeah, yeah. But remember this, Marco—Achilles was a demigod. He conquered cities. Slayed heroes. Loved his boyfriend. Died because someone forgot to wash his heel.”
Apollo (snapping):
“I will smite you.”
Hermes: “Too late, you already smote his ankle.”
Marco finally stands, limping.
Marco: “You people are exhausting.”
Hermes (winking):
“We’re mythic, babe.”
