GENERAL, WE FORGOT ONE COLONEL.
ZEUS:

COLONEL ERIS. WE HAVEN’T SENT HER ANY
INVITATIONS.
ZEUS:
DON’T BOTHER TO SEND HER ONE. THE WEDDING
WILL BE MUCH BETTER WITHOUT HER.
PRIVATE 2:
AND WHY IS THAT, GENERAL?
ZEUS:
BECAUSE INVITING HER WOULD RUIN LIEUTENANT
THETIS AND LIEUTENANT PELEUS’ SPECIAL DAY.

ERIS: (TRAVELLING IN THE FOREST)
`JEEZ, THIS IS SO TIRING! I SHOULD TAKE A
REST.
FERN: (SEES ERIS)
SHE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE FROM THE ENEMY’S
SIDE, WHY WOULD SHE BE HERE?
ERIS: (CAUGHT FERN LOOKING AND
POINTS THE GUN)
WHO ARE YOU? WHY ARE YOU HERE? AND WHY
WERE YOU LOOKING AT ME?
FERN: (PUTS HANDS UP)
WOAH, PUT THE GUN DOWN! I DON’T MEAN NO
HARM. I’M NOT GONNA HURT YOU, MISS!
ERIS:
BUT YOU’RE AN ENEMY! HOW CAN I EVEN TRUST
YOU?
FERN:
I PROMISE, I DON’T REALLY MEAN NO HARM. WE
ARE BOTH HERE FOR SUPPER AND A LITTLE
REST.

IF YOU REALLY ARE HARMLESS, SURRENDER YOUR
ARMORS TO ME SO THAT I CAN HAVE MY REST
PEACEFULLY.

SO, COLONEL ERIS, WHAT WAS A GIRL DOING OUT
HERE ALL ALONE IN THE WOODS? IT’S TOO DARK OUT
HERE, AREN’T YOU AFRAID?
ERIS:
WELL, CAPTAIN FERN, YOU DON’T KNOW ME. I’M NOT

ATTENTION)
TO THE BRAVEST? BUT I’M THE BRAVEST, THAT
SHOULD BE MINE!
APHRODITE: (JOINS THE ARGUMENT)
NO, YOU TWO ARE WRONG. I AM THE BRAVEST OF
US ALL!

Narrator: The three of them started arguing because of the

flowers and thought about asking General Zeus for answers.
HERA:
WHY DON’T WE JUST ASK GENERAL ZEUS TO
DECIDE FOR US?
(THE THREE WENT TO ZEUS)
ATHENA:

7
 APPA, WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE BRAVEST OF US THREE?
ZEUS:
I WILL NOT CHOOSE BETWEEN THE THREE OF YOU
BECAUSE YOU ARE MY WIFE AND THEY ARE MY
DAUGHTERS. WHY DON’T YOU GO TO CAPTAIN
PARIS AND ASK HIM TO CHOOSE?

Narrator: The three Colonels then went to Captain Paris for

answers.
HERA:
IF YOU CHOOSE ME, I WILL OFFER YOU THE DOMINION OF
ONE OF THE COUNTRIES.
ATHENA:
IF YOU PICK ME, I WILL GIVE YOU A GLORIOUS
MILITARY CAREER WITH SKILL AND WISDOM.
APHRODITE:
NO! I KNOW WHAT YOU DESIRE THE MOST. I WILL GIVE
YOU THE BRAVEST AND THE PRETTIEST WOMAN WHOM YOU
LOVE.
PARIS:
THE BRAVEST AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN? ARE YOU
PERTAINING TO LIEUTENANT HELEN? I WILL NOW CHOOSE
APHRODITE!

Colonel Aphrodite. That was the Flower of Discord, famed
everywhere as the real reason why the Trojan war began.

HELEN:
OPPA, MIANHAE, I DIDN’T COME EARLIER. IT WAS SO
HARD SNEAKING OUT OF THE BASE. I HOPE YOU WEREN’T
HERE FOR LONG.
PARIS:
GWAENCHANA, GOOD THING YOU CAME! I WAS JUST ABOUT
TO LEAVE. ALL THE WAIT IS WORTH THE TIME I’LL BE
SPENDING WITH YOU.
HELEN:
WHY DID YOU WANT TO MEET HERE BY THE LAKE AND NOT
SOMEWHERE ELSE?
PARIS:
I KNOW YOU CAN’T BE OUT THERE WITH ME, I DON’T
WANT TO BRING ANY HARM TO YOU. BESIDES, LOOK AT
THE LAKE, JEONGMAL YEOPPU-NE, JUST LIKE THIS LADY
BESIDE ME?
HELEN:
OH, INDEED IT IS BEAUTIFUL, IT FEELS SO GOOD TO
BE OUT HERE. I’VE BEEN INSIDE THE BASE FOR WAY
TOO LONG, I’VE FORGOTTEN THE BEAUTY OF NATURE.

Narrator: And they talked all night ‘til sunrise came and
Lieutenant Helen needed to go back to the base before
Captain Menelaus finds out. They saw each other again for

HAVEN’T BEEN HAPPIER THAN MY DAYS WITH CAPTAIN
PARIS. HE SHOWED ME MY WORTH, HE MADE ME FEEL
SPECIAL. UNLIKE YOU WHO MARRIED ME JUST TO LOCK
ME UP IN THIS STUPID PLACE!
MENELAUS:
SO, YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT I’M UNFAIR? THAT I
HAVEN’T MADE YOU FEEL SPECIAL? THAT I’VE TREATED
YOU AS A PRISONER? IF THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT, THEN
I’LL MAKE YOU A TRUE PRISONER. DON’T YOU DARE TRY
