(Outside Domino city)

"So, where do we go first?"

Marik glanced at the five of them, his arms crossed over his blank tank top. The six of them were standing outside a coffee shop, their weapons concealed in their bags or pockets. Atem stood in front of the glass window, reading a list of coffees and cappuccinos.

"Guys," the Egyptian son of Zeus began. "I think you should come take a look at this."

Bakura inched a snowy eyebrow. "Why?"

Atem pointed on the window, his finger landing on a woman sitting at a table typing away on a laptop and drinking some coffee. Elecktra frowned, leaning towards the window to peer closer.

"Is that who I think it is?" she began. "Is that Athena?"

Anzu blinked twice. "Athena? What would Athena be doing in a Starbucks coffee shop?"

Atem shrugged. "The gods can go anywhere they please. Besides, coffee is good, so why not? Even the gods like some of the mortal creations. Coffee just has to be one of them."

Bakura rolled his eyes. "Don't get me started on their fascination with cake."

Elecktra snorted, but opened the door to the coffee shop. They walked in, the six of them looking rather odd in the shop, but they paid no mind. They stopped at the woman's table, Atem giving her a friendly smile. "Hello, Athena," he started.

The woman looked up at them with a frown. Anzu almost jumped back, startled by the intensity of her eyes. They were gray, but not the light kind. They were the color of storm clouds; cold and calculating. The woman pushed her laptop back, folding her hands on the table. "Yes Atem, I am Athena. What can I do for you?"

Elecktra pushed past Atem gently, her fingers clenching the table. "We're on a quest from Pegasus. We're looking for two objects called the Glaive and the scythe," she looked hesitantly at the goddess. "Since you are our goddess of wisdom, we thought you might know something."

Athena just looked at them with blank eyes, gazing at each of them. Her gaze landed on Marik, and her expression was not friendly. "Your father is a brute, but you seem different," Athena shook her head. "Alas, why do you need the objects? No one, not even us gods, have seen them for eons."

Atem nodded at that, his smile looking rather tense. "We know that, but do you have any idea as to where they might be?"

Athena shook her head. "I don't know where they are but," she paused, her eyes thoughtful. "I may have an idea to where they might be located around."

"Where?" Bakura suddenly piped in. "The sooner we find them, the sooner we can return home."

She gave him an annoyed look before returning to Atem. "I believe one of the items is in the Kyoto region."

Anzu gulped, her hand gripping Akio's tightly. "That's where the monster is," she hissed. "We haven't seen him in months."

"I know," he hissed back. "But maybe we won't see him."

Athena must have heard them, for she narrowed her eyes at them. "Who are these two?" she asked, looking directly at the twins. "I've never seen these two before. What are your names?"

Anzu gave her a tentative smile. "I'm Anzu Mazaki, and this is my twin brother, Akio."

Akio just gave her a wave, trying to wipe the nervous look off his face. Athena just frowned at them. "Twins," she stated simply. "Not entirely identical, but I see the resemblance. Who is your parent?"

Akio shrugged. "We don't know. We came here two months ago, but we've never been claimed."

Athena just sighed. "Perhaps your parent is not a god."

"What?" Anzu asked, leaning forward a bit more. "What do you mean?"

Athena took another sip of her coffee. "I mean that your parent may not be a god. Did you ever think of that? We swore that we would always claim our children shortly after they came. You two have been here for two months. If it's any reassurance, you're not my children."

Bakura snorted. "We knew that already. They live with their non-biological father."

Athena tilted her head. "Do you two have any idea as to who your father might be?"

Anzu shook her head. "No. We have had dreams of him and the two items but," she glanced at her brother. "We can't make out who he is."

Athena closed her laptop and motioned one of the employees over. From where Anzu was standing, he looked just like a regular Starbucks employee, but as he came closer, she noticed something different. His head was replaced with that of an owl. He turned his feathered head towards the goddess, looking expectantly. "You called, my lady?"

Athena nodded, handing him her laptop. "Yes, take these half-bloods to my library. I'll be there in a moment."

The bird man nodded, giving a slight bow before turning to them. "Follow me," he said simply, and began to walk away. Bakura took Anzu by her arm, ignoring her protests as Akio followed her with a slightly irritated look. The bird man led them into the employees' room, opening the swing door. Above the doorway was a Greek symbol, which Anzu could recognize. From what she could tell, it stood for wisdom.

Following him in, she realized it wasn't an employees' room at all. In fact, it was a large library. The walls were made of marble with intricate gold, silver, and bronze patterns. A map of the stars was on the celling, and looking up at it, she noticed they were moving.

Athena came in shortly afterwards, looking more like a goddess than a civilian. She was dressed in light gray armor with an owl perched on her shoulder. She looked at the teens, her arms crossed over her breast plate. "In one of these books, there is something about the objects."

Bakura frowned at the massive bookshelves, ignoring a book that flew past his head and onto a shelf. "And which book is it?" he grumbled. "There are at least a thousand books in here."

Athena gave him a pointed look. "Actually, there are at least a trillion. You must not like reading," she turned towards her bookshelves. "Raphael! Could you come here?"

A boy, at least three years older than they were stepped forward carrying pile of books. Anzu could not help but stare at his large muscles. He looked strong, almost like a body builder. His blond side burns contrasted with his blue-gray eyes nicely, making him look like a hawk. He set the books down, his arms still crossed. "You called, mother?" he asked, more politely than friendly.

Athena nodded. "This is my son, Raphael," she said to them shortly. "He doesn't go to camp."

Atem gave him a friendly smile. "Nice to meet you. I'm Atem, a son of Zeus."

Raphael just gave him a curt nod. "I've heard of you," he turned to the others. "And the sons of Ares and Hades, along with Hekate's daughter," he turned to Anzu and Akio. "I've never heard of you two."

"We're new," Akio summarized shortly.

Raphael just raised an eyebrow before turning to his mother. "Did you need something? Valon just called and said there were some monsters nearby."

"What kind?"

"Gryphons. Two of them."

Elecktra let out a nervous laugh. "I may have killed their sister," she looked at Atem and Bakura. "You don't suppose they're still mad about that?"

Bakura snorted. "Why don't you ask them?"

"Shut up!"

Atem rolled his eyes. "So, you're one of those half-bloods that doesn't go to camp?" he asked Raphael. "How difficult is it?"

Raphael shrugged. "I have a team with two others. Valon and Amelda."

Athena nodded. "He helps me in my library from time to time," she took a book from one of the bird men. "Let's see what this book says about the objects."

She flipped through the pages silently, her eyes scanning the pages sharply. Akio nudged her, silently pointing out the fact that the pages were in ancient Greek. Anzu stared at the words, noting that the words were moving around into other languages. Even some languages she had never even heard of.

"Alright," Athena started again. "It says here that the objects were hidden away in caves near the Kyoto region, but it doesn't say where. There are lots of caves in the Kyoto area. No god, monster, titan, or even archons have seen them for a long time."

Anzu looked at her. "So you've seen them before?"

Athena nodded. "I have, but I never touched them. They're special weapons that could bring the downfall of the gods. It's a kind of metal that was only found once, and has the ability to kill even us gods as well as monsters. Even the titans and archons were afraid of them. I believe that the weapons were a result of chaos, which was where the archons were born from."

"Chaos," Atem started. "Everything and nothing."

"That's right," Athena murmured. "Now, why Anzu and Akio might be dreaming of the objects are most likely the result of the prophecy. The two that are one, the one that is all."

Elecktra sighed. "We know of it, but we just need to know where the objects might be."

Athena gave a grim smile. "I can give you a small piece of advice," she shut the book, handing it to an owl man. "As I said before, no god, monster, titan, or archons have seen them."

"So it must be someone human," Marik spoke up suddenly. "But humans are mortal."

"Yes," Atem agreed. "I've never heard of any immortal humans."

Athena opened her mouth. "There may be someone," she started, but was soon cut off by an explosion bursting through the wall. Two ugly gryphons stalked through, their black eyes glaring at Elecktra. "You," they hissed simultaneously. "You killed are sister! Prepare to die!"
