Summary
As the prince of Crete, Regulus had one mission. Stay alive long enough to fulfill his title as the heir of the kingdom, and to stay far, far away from anything that could possibly ruin that image. During a tournament in the amphitheatre, however, he becomes uncomfortably close to losing his life, and even more uncomfortably close to something more dangerous than perhaps even death itself: James Potter.The golden boy throughout Greece and the Prince of Athens, things were remarkably easy for james. He didn't have much to worry about, honestly, with a rich and powerful kingdom to run in the future, and loving parents who'd raised him to be as charming as everyone says he is. Or, so it seems. Even perfection isn't perfect all the time.hey hey hey i’m active again! will be editing current chapters and posting more
Note
Hey my loves! Thanks so much for clicking onto this little story of mine. Here are a few things i'd like to highlight before we get started on the first chapter:1) This is an AU, set in ancient Greece, where Regulus is the prince of Crete and James the prince of Athens. They are at a gladiator tournament ran for all the princes throughout Greece to compete to death to - I absolutely adore Greek mythology and Ancient Greek literature (personally a very big fan of Homer here!) so ofcs I had to put together two of my most beloved things2) there is no war! This is an AU in which Voldemort does not exist in3) Some of this story is inspired by the Song Achilles - i loveee that book haha - Achilles and Patroclus actually do make an appearance at some point - I couldn't resist!!4) I'm not an expert on Greek history by any means, and I've done some basic research into the setting before beginning the story. However, some features may be overmodernised, and I do apologize for that. Feel free to correct me or suggest an edit at any point- updates will come every Sunday x
