"The fight started as usual: Ares was torturing a small village that barely had scraps to eat ,so he made them as his slaves. I heard the village people praying my name, and pleading for mercy and I couldn't just leave them like that. I went over to Ares and commanded him to let the people go and that they have done nothing to him. He immediately denied my command and started bloating about himself that there is no one like me to command him, he wanted war, a war of sister versus brother; Ares beat me with his shield and I didn't fought back, I told him there was nothing need for this ,but his head wouldn't listen to me and knocked me out unconscious. When I woke up, I was in a really grassy area, the sun was shining really bright, I stood up from the grass and when I turned around, I saw...........something that no one had to with their own to eyes." Athena's voice starts to break

"Here, sit down" I advised her

Athena sat on an old wooden chair that was next to the plants

"Than you" She says

"You don't have to tell me the whole story,"

"A-all of the innocent people. Hanged. Right in front of me. I-I was ashamed of what I didn't do, I was ashamed that I didn't even play my role to help people. I couldn't stop thinking about it, I couldn't tell my father nor my siblings, so I disappeared and never wanted to see anyone." Athena puts her head in her hands

Hestia walks over to us,
"There you are, where were you?" I asked Hestia

Hestia whines in her sad doggy tone, Hestia faces to Athena and lays a paw on her lap

"I still can't believe you were gone for so many years, you coul-

"Please don't say a word to anyone, anyone about me. Not even your closest friends or your mother....Diana."

Athena's bright, gold armor reflects the running waterfall. Her shield was slanted against the ground, she took off her gold helmet, revealing her long luxurious, wavy dark hair

"I-I will not say anything about you Athena." I say

Athena turns to me and gives me a small smile,
"Thank you, dear Lydia. I hope the gods give you effort of your bravery and kindness among others."

I nod my head, and walked up to Hestia, Hestia rubs her head against my leg

"Let's go home, Hestia"

Me and Hestia walk over to the exit

"Lydia!" Athena called out

I turned around

Athena walks up to me

"I want you to have this," Athena hands out her shiny, gold helmet at me

"Athena- I seriously don't deserve this. This helmet will help you to get strength, you're the goddess of wisdom! I don't think I deserve i-

"Please. Take it, as my reward for you, and I won't need it no more."

Athena gives me the helmet

I take a look at the helmet. I rub my fingers against the smoothness of the helmet, the red feather was as soft as the sky, my reflection was upon the glories of this helmet that was covered in gold

I look up at Athena, and bowed my head

"Thank you, I will take care of this with my whole life."

"And be careful with the helmet: once you put it on it will never be removed unless you say the prophet words: me apomakrÿ apó aftó to krános (its in Greek). It will simply remove it and you can reuse it again."
