126 A Step Back In Time(5)

-Mount Olympus-

Over a mountain peak in Olympus, a tall tower constructed of bluestone bricks dominated the surroundings.

Inside the highest floor of the tower, a blue-robed woman sat on a chair.

She was studying a yellow-ish, tattered scroll.

Although she seemed focused, a closer look revealed that her pupils looked elsewhere than the scroll.

It was Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

Her pupils were twitching rapidly, and this increased in intensity until...

*Tsss*

She abruptly ripped the scroll in half.

'Why am I feeling this way? Why does the time go on so emptily?' Athena wondered to herself.

Recently, she schemed against her father, the King of the Gods, Zeus.

Along with Prometheus and Hephaestus, they stole the divine fire of Zeus and granted it to the mortals, who couldn't eat freezing meat in the winter or spoiled meat in the hot summers.
