I walked swiftly through the castle. Zeus had summoned me and you do not keep him waiting although I knew he would since it was me. I am his sister, Athena, the goddess of wisdom and defense. I pick up my pace a little. My white robes hugged my curvaceous body leaving nothing to the imagination. I was the only one of the gods who had not actually had sex with anyone. I walked straight into Zeus's throne room without announcing my presence and walked to the middle.
"Athena, I see you finally decided to bless us with your presence." He sneered. "Always a pleasure brother." I said. He glared at me as I smiled at Hera almost evilly. I hated her and it was no secret. "You are going to Earth." He said. "Why? Did you have another bastard child?" I asked. I was bored with doing his dirty work. "No. Ares is there. He needs to be awakened." He said. "Why the hell would I want to wake him up? The last time he was awake he destroyed my city." I said.
"He is your husband." Hera said with an evil smirk. Everyone in the kingdom knew that I was mated to Ares. "I am not married to him. He nearly burned me to the ground. I was the one who imprisoned him." I said. "Well it is time to release him and claim him as yours. The family he is with now plan to use him terribly. He will be put to death this time. He won't come back from that." My brother said. My heart sank and I frowned. I loved Ares whether he had hurt me or not and I wouldn't survive his death.
"Where is he?" I asked. My anger was kicking in and I could feel my mind already organizing how to get what was mine. "Forks, Washington but there are rules Athena." He said. "What?" I growled. "You cannot awaken him until the battle in the clearing. Only then will he know the truth and only then will you be able to save him." He said. I nodded and turned on my heels. I practically sprinted through the castle on my way to my apartments. I grabbed my weapons and walked to the gates of Olympus.
"Athena!" Hermes shouted. I turned and he slowed down. "You must be careful. Zeus and Hera want you and Ares dead. You are the only ones who rival their power. You must awaken Ares before that battle. He will kill everyone on the field including you if you don't. I will try to help by sending you messages but I must be careful. If Zeus finds out I will lose my head." He said. He broke a wing from his shoe and pressed it into my shoulder blade. It burned as it settled on my skin as a permanent mark. "You will hear me in your thoughts when I need to send a message." He said. I nodded and turned back to the gates. "I am coming my love." I whispered to Ares before I let myself fall from Olympus.
