Poseidon & Athena

Meeting of Love

Mmmm...

I hummed as I heard wings flutter about in the morning sky. Light pierced through my eye lids as I turned over to face the open window. Slowly, I opened them to find my Noctua cocking his head at me.
I sat up and stretched exceptionally.
"Mmm...Good morning my Noctua. Did you have a good flight last night?"
My noctua nuzzled its feathery head in my outstretched hand.

"That's a yes then." I laughed softly at my sweet owl. My one and only true compainon who has been with me through it all. Animals never betray, no matter how idiotic you may seem and that's why I keep him around.

My good graces were distracted by a knock at the door. It must be one of my vigin servants.

"Enter."

"Lady Athena, I'm sorry to bother."

"Its fine, Mari, what is it?" I didn't look at her because I was annoyed. So much for my peacful morning.

"The goddess, Pheme, is here."

I stopped petting Noctua and swiftly turned around, "What?! Why?"

I drained Mari's voice out with, my intense thoughts. Why is Pheme here? The goddess of gossip is in my temple without my sanction? That can only mean one thing.

"I'm getting dressed now. Make sure to feed Noctua!" I yelled to Mari as I ran to my wardrobe. Being utterly uncaring as I was, I pulled my sleepwear off and changed right in front of Mari. She must have been shocked as well because a bright red blush laid across her face when I turned around fully dressed.

"Mari, I except you to be appreciative with this kind of thing instead of shy. Many of my servants would love to see the body of a goddess."

"Y-yes Lady Athena. I will remember that."

"Good. I'll be on my way now." I patted Noctua before I left the room.

All of the priestessess bowed as I walked past them. Some were bold enough to even wave at me The young women filled my halls with all the great and respect in the world. Usually I would stop and talk with whom so ever wants me, but I was in a hurry towards the goddess in my throne room.

"Lady Athena!" The lovely Lore ran in front of me. Lore, she was Mari's twin sister. They both came to me after their homes and families were destroyed during the Trojan war.
Breaking my thoughts, Lore spoke sporadically, "She intends to raid the wine cabinets, my lady."

I stopped in my tracks, "I thought she was in the throne room?"

"She left when no one was watching her, now she raids the kitchens."

I felt the side of my mouth twitch. Why do I always have to deal with these insipid so called gods! I mean honestly, who barges in to a war goddesses kitchen.

"Follow me Lore." I said as I scurried towards the kitchen. As we neared, I heard laughing and singing.
I walked around the corner and found my servants alongside Pheme, drinking and partying like this is Dionysus's temple!

"Well, I'm glad you all are having a great time." The singing stopped as my servants looked up in shame. They quickly bowed and rushed out the area.

"Aww, we were having such a great time, Athena." Pheme said showing all her white teeth.

"Lore."

"Yes M'Lady?"

"Go and punish those servants, and if it is not done right then I will do it myself later."

"Yes, lady Athena." Lore left shortly after.

"The rumors are true, you actually do wear your armor at all times."
