14 Another conflict is coming.

After Athena tell that Sara and Nathalie are two of the "Fate sisters" the silence domains the room, Hwan is trying to understand the situation as Yuki has no clue why did Athena tell them about this tale. The boy puts his hand in his head while trying to process the information he makes a deep breath and looks at the girl in his bed.

Yuki: You are saying to me that you don't have any idea of where is the other sister and even why should we go after them?

Athena nods with her eyes closed end a small smile, as Yuki frustrates himself.

Hwan: So why you told us about this?

Athena: That's the point, the god of wisdom told me about this story years ago, and with the help of Ares I could find these two girls. But, she doesn't know why we need the sisters, so I am waiting for her to remember her past, and while she still can't discover why I am seeing with your god can remember why we need them.

She looks down making a sad face and puts her hands together making some strength, showing her dissatisfaction.

Athena: I thought Hades could remember because between the gods we have at our disposal he was the closest of them.

Yuki: I am sorry...

Athena: You don't need to be.

The silence comes again to the room as a strange and low voice is listened by them. Initially, the five of them look around and find nothing, but Yuki found the voice familiar. The voice comes from Yuki's ring.

Hades: Finally I can speak!

All of them are surprised. It was the first time one of the gods could speak from the ring. Athena gets up from the bed and takes Yuki's hand looking directly at the ring.

Athena: How are you speaking from there?

Hades: I don't know by myself, but I think Yuki and I got closer in some way. That's not important right now. I heard what you say about the fate sisters, but I don't remember why we need them, by the way I am certain that the older sister, Atropos, is still in the Ascendant realm.

Hwan: And how the hell we will get there?

Hades: We need to steal one of the primordial titan's powers, the power of Caos. If we take him down and still his staff we have the right to travel between the normal realm and the Ascendant realm.

Athena: For now this is impossible...

Hades: I know, only Zeus can handle the Caos's staff powers.

Athena: Even if we had Zeus, none of the primordial titans have been resurrected, and it is too risky for letting them being revived. We have to only consider this our last resource.

Hades: I will have to stop talking now, our connection is getting more unstable as we speak. Yuki, good luck.

Athena: Wait!

The ring remains silent as Athena frustrates herself with the amount of information they have.

Yuki: I know I don't have the right to say this, but at least we have a clear objective now, maybe if we wait for some more information we can see what we have to do.

The girl is holding his arm in anger and starts to whisper something while looking at the ring. Hwan understands the situation and grabs the two maids as he walks out of the room in a hurry.

Yuki starts to feel a bit of pain as he asks for her to stop. She speaks in a low voice while her teeth are pressed against each other as she makes force with her mouth.

Athena: When you got here, I thought you would be the most useless of us all...

Yuki: I am sorry, I...

Athena: Stop saying sorry for once! I worked on this "project" for more than five years, and I had was the help of Henry and money that was the inheritance of my parents that I didn't even meet! I didn't build this place from zero, I just took it! I can't even feel proud of myself, and when I got these powers, the pain was unbearable. Athena just spoke to me one time! I cannot be more like her. Then why someone like you? How can you be so close to your god's ring?

She pushes him to the wall pressing him against it and puts her head on his chest and starts to cry. The boy makes a serious face and grabs her hands looking directly at her eyes.

Yuki: I understand your frustration, but you need to calm down. You are being too harsh with yourself! Even though you were alone you could put together a team of completely different people! In my point of view, you don't see the potential you have, maybe this is why Athena doesn't speak with you!

The girl starts to calm down as she stops forcing him against the wall. She is apologizing to him as tears come from her eyes. The boy hugs her tightly saying everything will be okay.

Yuki discovers that the girl was just hiding her true emotions all this time and he decides he will help her no matter what because when he looks at her he remembers of himself.

Athena gets close to his face but before they can do anything her phone starts to vibrate. Ares is calling to her. She answers it and they both talk about something, Yuki can't hear anything because she went to the other side of the room. After she ends the call she asks Yuki to call every wielder to go to her office.

Yuki finds Teresa first, the woman looks at Yuki and notices that he just had a "new experience".

Teresa: My, my, who was the lucky one?

Yuki: What are you talking about?

Teresa: It was Athena right? Oh my, I taught the only thing she does is sarcasm.

Yuki: No time for that, she is calling you to her office!

She makes a smile but Yuki just runs in a hurry to find the others and finds Asashi, Kakeru, and Norman on the way to her office. Teresa is wearing a brown coat with a red scarf, she is wearing jeans with brown boots. Hwan is still in the same clothes. Kakeru is wearing an orange overcoat with a white scarf. Norman is wearing a blue t-shirt and shorts. Asashi is still wearing his mantle.

Kakeru: Yuki I don't have your number so I couldn't warn you. We will go to the city of Mallty. So put on some snow clothes.

Yuki: I will put them later... What about Norman?

Kakeru: He will stay.

All of them enter Athena's office and found her in the wooden chair looking at a painting of the city of Mallty.

Athena: I have good and bad news.

Hwan: Why does she always make this suspense?

Asashi: Every single time.

Athena: The good news is that Ares found that there is a convoy of the "NMG" corporation going to the city of Mallty. This convoy has the files which were supposed to be in the base of Chen Ruang when the titans exploded the building. We have to get them no matter what. But we won't reach the convoy with my jet before it reaches the base of that city, so we will have to break into the building and secure the files.

Hwan: Finally some spy mission!

Everyone looks at him with a serious face.

Hwan: You guys are no fun...

Norman: Why can't I go with you guys? I know I am new here, but I want to help!

Kakeru: I cannot allow it, you still can't use your powers.

Hwan gets a little nervous with that statement and interrupts him.

Hwan: Then why did you let Yuki help when Poseidon awakened?

Athena: Because at that time we had the situation in control. But now this is totally out of control and a desperate situation.

Asashi: What is the problem with this mission?

Athena: We are not the only ones who are going there.

Yuki: The titans know about this?

Athena: When the explosion happened I let five of my owls taking care of the place. But twenty minutes ago the vigilant owl on the south of the city was killed. Which means.

The room is taken by an agonizing silence as Athena looks at all of them.

Athena: There is a chance, that we will have to fight the titans on this mission.
