Scene 8: Enter Zeus and Athena.
Narrator: When Zeus found out about this, he was, of course, angry at Hera for killing his son. However, this was destined to happen, that was why he cannot do anything to stop it.
Zeus (very sad): I never got to spend enough time to get to know more about my son, and he's now dead! I should not have left him alone.
Athena: Do you want me to something for you to remember him by? I think it will be nice, so that you cannot forget him.
Zeus: tell me what is on you mind, Athena.
Athena (clears throat): What if, whenever you strike your thunderbolts at the earth, you ask Rain to come—
Zeus (brightens up a bit): Yes, to douse the wrath of my weapons. I do not want to burn the earth, now do I? The striking of thunderbolts will commemorate the time when my son temporarily controlled my most formidable weapon.
Athena: Actually, I originally meant the coming of the rain to seem like the world is mourning the death of your son. The dark weather will be quite suitable for such an expression of grief.
Zeus: Thank you, my daughter, for being so thoughtful. (Strokes Athena's cheek in a fatherly fashion) (Aside) That's why she's my favorite one among my other children. (End aside)
Athena: You're always welcome, father.
Zeus and Athena freeze and exit.
Narrator: And that is why Rain comes with Lightning. It was not exactly a very happy story, but when it comes down to it, stories—or in this case, myths—are not always happy.
