A Wise Owls Mistake

-A wise woman refuses to be anyones victim-

Her grey eyes watched the shadow loom towards her like a hawk, or for that matter, an owl.

Athena wore a long cream coat, as opposed to that of her usual greek armour. Her hands softly brushed the petals of the cherry blossoms she passed, strolling through the gardens leisurely but fully aware she was being followed.

The garden was empty bar Athena herself and whoever lurked in the shadows behind her, though she made no attempts to confront such a person.

"I'm sure you've realised your not alone in these gardens." Their voice was soft, seeming like smooth honey with a touch of stickiness, from the tone of voice it was clear the occupant was female. 

"Indeed, although I have not quite figured out whom..." she paused, choosing her words carefully, her back was still turned on her stalker, though she didn't want to make any sudden movements and scare them off.

"Whom?"

"I have not figured out whom is following me."

"Know your enemy my friend."

Athena finally swivelled around, until she faced the figure, wearing a long black cloak, flowing behind them in the small breeze, Athena tried to catch a glimpse of their face underneath the hood but she found no such luck.

"I mean no harm Athena." They spoke as if Athena and they were the best of friends, the Goddess wasn't appreciating their tone. "I only bring a message."

"If you wouldn't mind, please cut to the point." Her voice was like daggers searing through fabric, quick and sharp, her stormy grey eyes flashed at the hooded figure threateningly.

"It is of your...friend." 

Athena took a moment to lean back against a sculpture behind her, looking rather thoughtfully at the hooded figure, thoughts of just how she would like to blow them to pieces circled in her mind like fish in a pond. "I have many friends, as well as foe." She spoke quietly. 

"Atlas? I'm quite sure you've heard the name before." The figure finally decided to push the cloak covering their face, letting it fall behind their head, revealing a pale face framed by ink black hair which travelled down her back in long braids. Athena marvelled at her for a few moments, caught up in the other Goddess' beauty. 

"Nyx." The blonde managed to shake herself from her thoughts, throwing her nastiest glare at the Goddess of the night. 

"I mean no harm," Nyx repeated as she held her hands up at her sides, parting the black cloak to reveal a tight black corset underneath, fitting for a goddess of the night. "I only wish to tell you one thing." 

"Hurry along Nyx otherwise I will have no hesitation in smiting you." Athena's tone became a growl, a small dagger now unsheathed lay in her hand. 

"An army is on the way." Nyx spoke highly, as if she were of importance, Athena saw more than just a messenger behind those eyes. "Atlas is preparing an attack, do whatever you wish with such information," she bowed quickly before turning to leave, "my boss thinks quite poorly of the Olympian gods and this would be your chance to prove him wrong." 

"I am in no need of proving myself to your boss." Athena snarled, anger boiling in her blood quicker than the speed of light, "I will take the information into consideration, now leave before I change my mind." 

Nyx smiled and disappeared in a swirl of smoke.
