ATHENS, GREECE

The young girl wandered through the cold temple, admiring the large paintings on the walls. All of it was beautiful. Her eyes filled with wonder as she looked up to the roof and saw how the old white pillars held up the brick roof.

Her smile dazzled as her eyes trailed down the walls and towards the long material between the stone seats. The blonde six year old placed her foot on the dusty, red carpet as she began to walk down it towards the place she knew as the emperors throne.

"Alessia!" A voice whisper-yelled, frustration in the tone of her voice. "Get back here, right now!"

The blonde child turned around to face her mother with angry wide eyes. The older blonde woman grabbed hold of the girl's arm and pulled her back as they continued to follow the tour guide.

"As you can see, this is a picture of the believers praying to the goddess that gave the society wisdom." The tour guide smiled as he gestured up to the painting.

Alessia smiled. The picture was many different colours. The sky was a mix between purple and blue, added with many white dots to resemble the starts. In front of that was the grey temple, with darker shades of black and lighter shades of white. Then, there was the black figures on the stair case kneeling towards the temple, infront of the large statue placed in the middle of the staircase — that statue was none other than the goddess Athena.

The blonde girl wasn't sure why she was so interested in the place. Nothing before had ever captivated her as much as this temple. Somehow, she felt a connection to it.

She felt a hand place on her back as they continued to move forward. The young blonde looked up and saw her father smiling down at her, she returned it quickly, giving him a soft smile before looking back up at the many paintings.

One that the tour guide had skipped past caught the young girl's eye, making her stop in her tracks. It was a picture of the goddess, stripped out of her armour and wearing only a white dress. Her features were pale and beautiful as she looked out to the peaceful city known as Athens. Her light blonde hair was curled as it fell down the sides of her face as if it were stuck to it, the drawing making it seem as if it were blowing in the wind.

The young blond was captivated with the painting, and to herself, wondered if the goddess was actually real at one point in time.

Knowing she wasn't supposed to, the child lifted her pale hand up to the edge of the painting and grasped the golden frame in her hand. She smiled in pleasure as her hand slowly sunk down the wall, before falling upon an unplaced stone brick. She looked around, and saw that the tour was now into a different part of the temple. Alessia pierced her lips together before pushing the stone back into its rightful place before feeling the building beginning to shake.
