/ Scene on the Street After passing the Temple of Artemis, Mount Olympus /

After passing through the Temple of Artemis, Athena, Aiolos, and Shaina moved towards the place under the hill, where all the Saints would gather there after passing the temple of the Gods.

* Note: Just a reminder, Athena's Cloth was damaged quite badly due to the battle with Artemis. Also here Shaina is still unconscious, she is carried by Aiolos. And Aiolos is still in his Sagittarius God Cloth mode

Aiolos: "We're almost there huh ..."

Athena: "Yes, after we pass the temple of the Gods, we will go to the place under the hill"

Aiolos: "We will soon be together with the others"

(Aiolos looked at Athena, Aiolos was surprised)

Aiolos: "What's the matter, Athena?"

Athena: "No, it's just ..."

Aiolos: "... ??"

Athena: "Am I doing right ?? Putting such a heavy burden on all of you"

Aiolos: "..."

Athena: "Since earlier I felt some of your cosmo disappear, am I just sacrificing you for the sake of victory ?!"

(Athena stops running, Athena closes her eyes, she looks annoyed)

Aiolos: "You are not wrong, Athena"

Athena: "?!"

(Aiolos stops running too)

Aiolos: "What you do is not sacrifice us, but you trust us"

Athena: "Aiolos ..."

Aiolos: "Some of us including myself, I haven't had time to fight for you. That's why ..."

(Aiolos looks at Athena)

Aiolos: "Please don't think like that, believe us"

Athena: "Aiolos ..."

(Athena touched by Aiolos's words)

Athena: "Yes, thank you, Aiolos"

(Aiolos smiles at Athena)

Aiolos: "Let's continue this journey, the others must be waiting under the hill"

Athena: "Yes"

Aiolos went ahead of Athena. As Athena was about to walk, Athena looked the other way from the path there. Athena stared at a place that was beside them, and that place is the Olympus Flower Garden

Athena: "... ??"

(Athena is seen walking to that way alone)

Aiolos: "Huh ??"

(Aiolos stare to behind him)

Aiolos: "Athena ??"

(Aiolos was confused to see Athena walking towards the Olympus Flower Garden)

Athena: "..."

(Athena continued to walk closer to the flower garden, and she arrived there)

/ Scene at the Flower Garden, Mount Olympus /

Athena was seen staring around the Olympus flower garden in amazement, Aiolos came to approach Athena

Aiolos: "What is it, Athena ??"

Athena: "Huh? !!"

(Athena was amazed, she seemed to remember something from her memory)

Athena: "What is this ?!"

(Athena saw a picture of her memory, she saw herself running in the Olympus flower garden)

Athena: "What kind of picture is this ?!"

(Athena's face looked very astonished, suddenly she fell on the ground)

Aiolos: "Athena !!"

(Athena holds her head with her hands)

Athena: "What kind of sadness am I feeling? !!"

(Athena is seen shedding tears)

Aiolos: "Athena ..."

Athena: "W-Who is that woman ?!"

(Athena saw the image of a woman smiling at her, the woman's face was not very clear in Athena's memory)

Aiolos: "Are you all right, Athena?"

Athena: "What the is this ?! Does this place have something to do with me? !!"

Athena continued to cry in amazement as she sat on the ground. Athena felt very confused by the unclear image of her memory. Aiolos was behind Athena silent looking at her

????: "Do you remember about this place, Athena?"

Athena: "??!"

Aiolos: "Huh? !!"

(Suddenly, a woman appears in front of Athena and Aiolos)

Aiolos: "Who are you ?!"

(Aiolos on standby)

Athena: "You are ..."

Athena: "The goddess of fertility ... Demeter"

Aiolos: "What ?! Demeter? !!"

(Aiolos was quite surprised to hear that)

Aiolos: "(At times like this another goddess of Olympus appears !!)"

Demeter: "I want to see you, Athena"

Athena: "Huh ?!"

(Demeter walks slowly towards Athena)

Demeter: "..."

Athena: "What do you want?"

Demeter: "What do you think I will do?"

Athena: "..."

Demeter: "I wanted to meet you to talk, then maybe I'll fight you here"

Aiolos: "What did you say? !!"

(Aiolos looks tense)

Athena: "Alright, I'll talk to you"

Demeter: "You're quite confident in yourself, or should I just finish you off now?"

Athena: "..."

(Athena's face became very serious)

Aiolos: "That's I will not allow !!"

(Aiolos lowered Shaina to the ground, then Aiolos ran towards Athena)

Aiolos: "Stay away Athena, I'll take her on !!"

Demeter: "Hmph ..."

Aiolos ran towards Demeter, he prepared to use his punch. Then, Demeter pointed her wand at Aiolos. Demeter's wand glowed, then suddenly many enormous vines appeared from the ground in front of Aiolos

* Note: Demeter wear her Kamui

Aiolos: "What? !!"

(Aiolos was hit by the plant's impact, Aiolos was slammed backwards)

Aiolos: "Eghh !!"

(Aiolos manages to maintain his position)

Aiolos: "Huh? !!"

(The plant is like making a great wall that encloses Athena)

* Note: This plants forms a straight wall that is very big and strong. But it didn't completely cover the sight, there were still many gaps that could be seen on the wall, so that Aiolos could still see Athena from the other side.

.

Aiolos: "Athena !!"

Demeter: "Don't bother us, human!"

(Suddenly there was a lot of light on the plant)

Aiolos: "What is this? !!"

Demeter: "Don't do anything nonsense, or my troops, Fairy, they will face you"

(Seen a lot of little fairies flying in front of the wall, they guard the side of the wall where Aiolos is)

Aiolos: "Khh"

Athena: "You don't have to do something like that, Auntie"

Demeter: "... ??"

Athena: "I'll make sure my troops don't mess up"

Aiolos: "Don't do it, Athena!"

Athena: "Take it easy Aiolos, just trust me"

Demeter: "..."

Athena: "Earlier you asked me to trust you right? ... Now it's your turn to trust me"

Aiolos: "Athena ..."

(Aiolos is silent)

Aiolos: "Well then, I will trust you"

Athena: "Thank you, Aiolos"

Aiolos is starting to calm down now. Aiolos entrusted the rest to Athena. Now Athena stood directly with Demeter

Athena: "Alright, now what do you want to talk to me, Auntie?"

Demeter: "I just wanted to ask you something simple."

Athena: "..."

Demeter: "What do you think of humans? What would make a goddess like you fight us for the sake of humans?"

(Demeter looks very serious)

Demeter: "Before you answer, I'll emphasize something ... Right now I'm at my strongest state, using my Kamui. You know what that means, don't you?"

(From the other side, Aiolos looks quite tense listening)

Athena: "Yes, I understand"

(Athena is silent for a while)

Athena: "The reason why I defend humans huh ... ??"

Demeter: "..."

Athena: "It's hard to explain in words"

Demeter: "You can say whatever you want"

Athena: "I don't know, it might be said ..."

(Demeter is listening seriously)

Athena: "... Because I understand how they feel"

Dementer: "Huhh ?? !!"

(Demeter was a little surprised by the answer Athena said)

Demeter: "What does that mean?"

Athena: "Maybe we gods are born with very high knowledge, but there are things we don't have as gods"

Demeter: "The things we don't have ??"

Athena: "That thing belongs to humans, And that thing is ... Feelings"

Demeter: "??!"

Athena: "They don't have the divinity like us, but they do have feelings. It's their feelings that make them strong, feelings for each other"

(Aiolos is stunned by Athena's words)

Athena: "I want to understand that ... Not only knowledge, but with human understanding as well I want to become a goddess like that"

(Demeter is silent for a moment)

Demeter: "Will you still defend them even if they are wrong?"

Athena: "No, what I'm doing is not defending them, but guiding them"

Demeter: ".. ??"

Athena: "I really want to understand humans, but I also have an obligation to guide them ... Yes, justice is what I must still establish in myself"

Demeter: "Justice ..."

Athena: "Not only to be a goddess who guides humans with kindness, but also a goddess who has the principle of justice ... I want to become a goddess like that, to be a goddess of wisdom "

Demeter: "... ?? !!!"

(Demeter felt thrilled by Athena's words)

Demeter: "(Goddess of Wisdom huh ...)"

(Demeter bowed silently, she recalled something from her past)

[Flashback-Begin]

* thousands of years ago in the Mythology era

/ Scene at the Flower Garden, Mount Olympus /

Demeter was in the Olympus Flower Garden, seen she was sitting there with a woman, they were talking to each other

????: "My time is near, Demeter ..."

Demeter: "What do you mean ?!"

????: "This is something I can't avoid, even as a Goddess"

Demeter: "..."

????: "Since I decided to love Zeus, this is the destiny I must accept"

Demeter: "Why ...?!"

(Demeter is seen shedding tears)

Demeter: "Why do you have to accept a fate like this? !!"

????: "Demeter ..."

Demeter: "Tell me what happened! You can discuss this with Zeus, you are the queen of this Olympus !!"

????: "This is something I have to handle myself, and also now that my Lord must focus on this war, we have to defeat the Titans, I don't want to disturb him"

Demeter: "Khhh"

????: "After all, there is still you and also Hera who can become Queen of this Olympus"

Demeter: "No, it can't be ... I am no match for you, I cannot become a queen like you"

(Demeter continues to cry)

Demeter: "I am afraid, I am afraid that we Gods are wrong in deciding something ... With you, I can rest easy, but if you are not here, I am afraid to decide something."

(The woman looked at Demeter with a sad face)

Demeter: "You always decide things wisely, if you didn't, what would happen if we did something wrong ??"

(Demeter bowed silently)

(The woman holds Demeter's hands)

Demeter: "Huh ??"

????: "There's nothing you need to worry about ..."

(The woman speaks to Demeter with a smile)

????: "There are times when we make mistakes, it can happen"

Demeter: "..."

????: "But you take it easy, even though I'm not here, there are always those who will replace ..."

The woman glanced in another direction in the Flower Garden, Demeter also glanced in the direction that the woman was glancing at. You can see little Athena is running cheerfully on the garden

????: "There is always a right path, even for the Gods"

Demeter: "... ??"

????: "And one day, the path will be seen ..."

[Flashback-End]

* back to the present time

/ Scene at the Flower Garden, Mount Olympus /

Demeter was talking to Athena, Demeter seemed to be contemplating remembering what was said to her in the past

Demeter: "(The right path huh ...)"

(Demeter looks at Athena, Demeter sheds tears)

Demeter: "(The path you mean, is it seen now ??)"

(Demeter seemed to see the woman's figure in Athena)

Demeter: "Athena ..."

Athena: "???"

Demeter: "Tell me, what do you really want?"

(Athena says her wish to Demeter)

Demeter: "I see, your wish really does represent her ..."

(Demeter looks back at Athena)

Demeter: "The feelings you have, do you get that feeling from her or do they come from yourself?"

(Athena smiles)

Demeter: "Hmph"

(Demeter smiles too)

Demeter: "I'll tell you the truth Athena"

Athena: "... ??"

Demeter: "Actually I'm not taking Olympus's side in this battle, and I'm not going to help you either ... Because I want to see which path is right"

Athena: "Yes"

Demeter: "I want to see what you will do, Athena"

(There seems to be a wind surrounding Demeter)

Demeter: "I hope I can see the path you choose, Athena"

Athena: "Of course, you will see"

(Athena smiles at Demeter)

Demeter: "(That smile ... Really reminds me of you ... Metis)"

Demeter disappeared in the wind. Also, the plants that previously blocked Aiolos were gone, as were the fairies

Aiolos: "Athena ..."

Athena: "Aiolos ..."

(Athena looks at Aiolos who is behind her)

Athena: "... Thank you for believing in me"

(Aiolos smiles at Athena)

Athena: "Let's continue this, follow the path we are on"

Aiolos: "Yes"

(Aiolos carried Shaina back, and they continued on their way)

Athena: "Heh ..."

A past bond connected with Athena ... Even though she doesn't remember it, Athena still has feelings that were passed on to her ... And that's what made Athena ... Become who she is now ...
