Great story Demenior, but one question how exactly can archie age? Doesn't he carry the powers of achilles who was immortal besides the fact that he could die in battle if struck in his only weakspot. Even if he could age he is immune to sickness and the rest of his body is to strong to just simply give up or fail. Did he some how lose these powers?
Author's response
Thank you for the compliment, and I'll try to answer your questions as best I can without sounding harsh :)
Well, to put it blankly, everyone ages. In the show, even the gods have. Yes, Achilles was immortal- but not to time. if he couldn't age, how on earth did he grow from being a baby to becomming a man in the Trojan War?
Achilles was immortal to weapons (or, as far as the immortality part of his myth goes)
Annnd, as strong as someone is, the body's natural way is to grow weaker as time passes. No mortal can escape that, so Archie was in rather good condition for his age (not sure what, but it must've been late seventies/early eighties) yet still, nowhere near the same body condition he might have had as a youth.
Hopefully that didn't come out as mean, because that isn't my intent. Good questions, and I was happy to answer them :3
