Hephaistion’s Test
Word Count:  100

 

Hephaistion stood at the edge of the cliff staring into the nothingness of the darkness.  The noise of the party rose and faded as the wind from the mountaintop shifted.  He understood why Alexander took Bagoas, then Roxane.  Alexander needed to show his army that he was as much a king as his father Philip.  Yet, Hephaistion clung onto the memory of the words, “It is you whom I love”, and wondered if there would be more tests.

 “Hephaistion…” A familiar scent tickled his nose and strong arms wrapped around his torso.  Hephaistion let himself sink deeply into the touch.

It was no hidden secret that Alexander admired the beauty in perfection.  People talked that Alexander loved Hephaistion because he was beautiful; his body, his eyes, his nose, his lips, and his chin, everything about Hephaistion was perfect.  Alexander especially loved his silky long hair.  It greatly enhanced Hephaistion’s stunning face.  Yet, whenever he heard that he loved Hephaistion for his outer beauty, Alexander insisted that it was not the only reason why he loved Hephaistion. 

 

Unfortunately, the day came to prove it.  Hephaistion was captured and taken by the Persians as a hostage.  Alexander assembled a counter attack in no time, and the Macedonians swiftly defeated the Persians and rushed into their main camp.

 

Alexander frantically looked for Hephaistion calling his name in devastation.  The blood drained from his face when he saw a distressed Ptolemy running towards him.

“Is he alive?”

“Yes, but…”

“Did they mutilate him?”

“Ah…you just need to see it yourself.”

Alexander’s heart raced madly on the way to the tent where Ptolemy was guiding him.  As soon as he saw Hephaistion, his jaw dropped.

“What …”

Hephaistion’s beautiful long hair was shaved at the sides just leaving cropped strands at the top.  Alexander lost his words, and just stared at Hephaistion’s head.  Hephaistion slowly walked closer to Alexander.

“Alexander…”  He waited until Alexander looked him in the eyes.  “It is just hair, it will grow.”  Hephaistion smiled brightly.

 

When Alexander saw nothing but confidence in Hephaistion’s beautiful blue eyes, and the brilliant smile on his handsome face, Alexander forgot about Hephaistion’s hair.

 

Now he knew for a fact that he did not love Hephaistion for just his outer beauty, but his strength and inner beauty.  Yet, Alexander will make certain that his Hephaistion will grow his hair long again.  Alexander dearly loved Hephaistion’s hair.

With one fluid motion without any waste, a spear left Hephaistion’s hand and cut through the air.  It deeply plunged into the guts of a battered body.  A low groan escaped from it to push the last breath out of already half collapsed lungs.  Nobody moved, and total silence filled the atmosphere.

 

Alexander caught Hephaistion’s slightly trembling left hand that dangled by his side.  He interlaced his fingers, and pressed them together tightly as if to squeeze out the pain from each other.  This was the first time when the friendship of Mieza had ever been tested, and miserably failed.
