This chapter takes place the night before Apollon & Hades spoke to Zeus. Just saying, I did my research. If it's incorrect, Blame Wikipedia.

Thoth was so frustrated with himself that he almost let his cool exterior slip to make way for a low growl. 'Why can't I figure this out?' He was sitting at his desk in the library with the setting sun shining through the windows. He pulled together three other tables in the library and pushed them up against his desk so he had more room to work. The makeshift surface was covered in old documents and books. In front of Thoth, was a yellow notepad full of notes and theories about the purple-headed girl. For the past few hours, he had been pacing around the desk searching through everything that he could think of.

For a fleeting moment, he considered contacting Omokane, the Japanese God of Wisdom and Intelligence. He shook his head at the thought. 'No, I will not lower myself to ask help from my counterpart from another mythology.' Out of all of the Gods of Knowledge, he was one of the oldest among them. (May not be true but I am saying it is anyway)

'There has to be something that I am missing!' He slammed his fist on the table, causing all of the books to slightly bounce off of the concealed wood. One book was already teetering on the edge due to a lack of space, causing it to fall on the floor.

Thoth looked up from the table and picked up the fallen book. Looking at the title, an image immediately popped into his head. 'She was studying the Greek Gods. Why was she so intent on studying that mythology while she had two others to look into? I haven't seen her with any research material about the Norse or Japanese mythologies.' Quickly skimming through the book, he found a page that had a flimsy paper bookmark left in it. 'She must have left this in here when she returned it.' Looking at the page, he found himself staring at the image of Zeus and his siblings fighting the Titans. 'The Titanomachy.'

He wasn't there personally to witness such a divine battle, but he had heard stories. A mighty war between divine beings. Children going against their father for his cruel treatment of his children. Cronus ate his children as they were born in fear of his rule coming to an end. Zeus, being the only sibling to be saved from such a fate by his mother, was able to free his siblings and wage war against the Titans. In the end, the Olympians won over the Titans.

In the human world, few documents referred to Titanomachy and all of them left out an important part; The Guardian.

When Zeus began to form his plans to release his siblings from Cronus's stomach, he had heard from his foster mother, Amalthea, that a being known as The Guardian will appear when the fate of the divine and mortal realms was gravely uncertain. The Guardian will lead those within the realm of the divine to peacefully decide to avoid a battle for the heavens. At the time, Zeus thought Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, would be the being who would serve this role. She was always a peaceful being ever since she rose from the coast off of Cythera. He went to Aphrodite and convinced her to help him try to convince Cronus to release the other Olympians. However, when she tried to peacefully speak to the mighty Titan, he chased her out the moment he saw her; leaving Zeus with no choice but to forcefully free his siblings from his father's stomach.

'The Guardian.' Thoth pondered the existence of such a being for a long time and determined that the only time she would appear would have been during the Titanomachy. Even all his counterparts from other mythologies had surmised this theory. It was a common consensus among the Gods that The Guardian was nothing more than a fever dream.

"Have you figured it out yet?"

Thoth spun around quickly to see Zeus smirking at his startled reaction to his voice. He narrowed his eyes at the Greek God. "What are you talking about Zeus?"

Zeus chuckled and walked over to stand in front of the flustered Egyptian God. "Come on old friend, I thought surely you would figure it out by now."

Thoth ground his teeth together and spat out, "Stop playing games with me Zeus and tell me what it is I am supposed to figure out?"

Zeus smiled and tapped the end of his staff on his shoulder. "Do you remember why we created this school?"

He raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Of course, to prevent a war between humans and Gods by teaching the most troublesome Gods about the human heart."

Zeus nodded and walked towards the window, watching the last glimmer of light slipped past the horizon. "To teach the Gods about the human heart was merely a backup plan if my suspicions were not correct."

He walked over and joined Zeus looking out the window, allowing silence to settle between them before Thoth spoke again. "What are you suspicious of Zeus?"

Looking over, he saw a faint smile come across Zeus's face. "I believe that The Guardian was meant for the inevitable war between humans and Gods."

Thoth turned to God turned Headmaster. "You know who The Guardian is?"

Zeus nodded without looking over at his friend. "I believe that The Guardian was brought here by the Heavenly Sword of Gathering Clouds."

He drew in a deep breath and felt his eyes widen on their own. "You think Kusanagi is the Guardian?"

Zeus nodded and turned to face him, a grave look painted across his features. "A war with the humans would be even more dangerous than what it was with the Titans. Kusanagi has shown that she posses everything that someone named The Guardian should contain. She doesn't judge or hold any biases. She doesn't allow her problems to bother those around her. Everyone around her listens to what she says and absorbs that information. I'm sure you have noticed this, but she also shares the same name with the sword that brought her here in the first place, one of the Three Imperial Regalia of Japan."

Thoth furrowed his brows and looked away. "Yes, I did realize that. It was one of the first things that I looked into." Thoth paused and looked back at the powerful God. "You really believe that Kusanagi Yui is the legendary Guardian?"

Zeus nodded and turned to leave. "Even if she isn't Thoth, I would rather not risk it to allow the possibility of her existence to slip through my fingers." Zeus continued walking and paused after opening the door. "I know it's hard to believe that a mere mortal could be The Guardian, but we can't allow our biases towards them to shroud our judgment. The Guardian is someone who wouldn't allow biases to cloud their judgment. We should follow that example." Without another word, Zeus exited the library, leaving a thoughtful Thoth alone, once again, in his sanctuary of knowledge.
