12 Sister, who are you?!

[A/N: As I have said before I wasn't going to post on weekends, but somehow I got a little free time, so here it is.]

Athena.

She is one of the twelve main gods of Mount Olympus.

She is the Goddess of Wisdom and War.

She is also the Goddess of Craftsmanship and Art. Many songs praise her as the existence who has founded 'art'.

Athena is the daughter of Zeus and Metis, the previous Goddess of Wisdom, but her birth was very peculiar.

Gaia and Uranus prophesied that after the Goddess of Wisdom Metis gives birth to her intelligent daughter, she would give birth to a son who will overthrow Zeus.

Therefore, the displaceable God King Zeus got frightened that the prophecy would come true and swallowed Metis whole along with her unborn child.

Soon after that, Zeus had a splitting headache and Apollo failed to heal him, so Zeus had to ask Hephaestus, the God of Fire and Smithing, to split open his head.

Finally, Athena was born from the head of Zeus and had inherited the wisdom from the Goddess of Wisdom Metis as well as the strength from Zeus.

Athena had been playing with little Jason for several days and had designed multiple scripts which have included repertoires like 'hero saving beauty', 'hero saving people', 'shining treasures lying on the road', and many others.

But what made Athena speechless is that no matter which script it was, Jason never got fooled!

Which led to the current picture of Athena, who is wearing a pure white dress with silver hair and golden eyes, pinching sleeping Jason's cheek in annoyance.

And it's like Hecate sensed...

No, it should be said that Hecate, who has been paying attention all this time through the part of consciousness that Jason doesn't know when has been put in him, at this moment, under the incarnation of moonlight, also arrived here.

Still, Hecate is not surprised by Athena's presence here, because she had long known that Athena will come.

Hecate just didn't expect that Athena would actually play games with Jason for quite a few days.

At the same time, when she saw Jason escaping Athena's script again and again, and finally Athena had no choice but to act, she felt very happy in her heart; after all, she has personally experienced it once, it is just that compared to Hecate, Athena had prepared too many scripts which only extended the enjoyable show.

Hecate, who has just arrived, immediately reached out and gently picked up Jason, who had fallen asleep under the influence of Athena, and put him on the bed near him.

"Speaking of which, Hecate, your new student is really interesting, how about you give him to me?" Looking at the blond child lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully, Athena suddenly asked.

Hecate smiled in exasperation at Athena, who loves interfering in troublesome business...

Yes, Athena can indeed be described as someone who loves doing this type of thing!

After all, upon looking at the stories of many Greek heroes, it is really easy to find the figure of Athena.

Almost whenever and wherever something big is happening, she will be there!

It can be seen from this point that Athena is very interested in heroes, especially their heroic deeds.

"Athena, don't have any idea about him!"

Hecate's tone at the moment became a little bit heavier.

While being a little surprised, Athena looked at Hecate, who has just refused her in a serious tone, then looked back at Jason.

Although Athena didn't say anything more, quite obviously, one can easily see from her eyes that from this moment on Athena has become even more interested in Jason!

"Then, Hecate, let's us discuss proper business, about Persephone."

"...It seems like she has decided." After being silent for a moment, Hecate asked Athena: "She has decided to go to Underworld, right?"

"Yes." Athena nodded and confirmed, "Persephone has decided that she will... become the Queen of the Underworld!"

Hearing this, Hecate didn't look surprised, just sighed and said: "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have invited her to come and play with me."

"Isn't this good?" Athena smiled and continued: "Let's not mention that she and Uncle Hades like each other, she is also your friend, so you can see each other often?"

"But God Demeter will not agree. If she was willing, she would have agreed long ago."

"That's why I'm here to help." Athena said, then looked at Jason again, and continued: "But only my words are not enough to ensure that Aunt Demeter can be convinced, so this child's journey... will take a while..."

When Hecate heard this, her expression did not change much but just looked at Athena quietly.

Athena couldn't help feeling a bit of a headache, and asked: "The goodwill of Persephone and Uncle Hades are not enough as a reward for this child?"

"Not enough." Hecate replied lightly.

"Then what do you want from me?"

"His clothes, and... in the future, you will help him do one thing."

Athena raised her brows and said to Hecate, "I feel like... I don't seem to have any reason to pay so much!"

"Don't worry, it won't be anything important." Hecate continued. "It's about him and...my other student, Medea." After speaking, Hecate waved lightly at Jason.

Then her protection was removed from Jason and a ghost butterfly flew out from inside of him, Athena's eyes representing absolute wisdom turned to Jason.

And she immediately saw his future.

"It turns out...it turned out to be like this." Therefore, Athena understood and looked at Hecate who again gave her protection to Jason, and smiled: "I was just thinking, why do you care so much about him, it turns out that this is related to two of your students."

"Well...it feels very interesting and I can agree! But as a condition, this child should also agree to do one thing for me in the future!"

Hecate thought for a while and originally wanted to refuse because she doesn't want to arbitrarily make such a decision for Jason, then she seemed to have thought of something then after hesitating for a while, looked at Athena and said: "Yes, but the premise is Jason promises you himself and you can't force him also you won't let him do something he can't do. And there are…"

Saying till here, Hecate stretched out her hand towards Jason, and the package he was carrying appeared on Hecate's hand.

Then a total of twelve petals of the unquenchable flame lotus given to Jason by Flame Spirit were taken out by Hecate.

"In the clothes, you will be making for him, you have to incorporate these."

"The unquenchable flame from the river of Underworld?" Athena was stunned, "Hecate, aren't you a little too kind to this child... Are you sure you have accepted him only for your experiments?"

"I have really accepted him as my student only for the experimental reasons, but my student means my student." Hecate replied lightly.

In the life trajectory of the original Jason, his ending can be said to be quite tragic.

And in the end, even though he somehow became known as a great hero who has accomplished the magnificent feat of getting Golden Fleece, in the face of destruction done by Medea, none of the gods came out to stop or punish Medea.

Obviously, there are many reasons for the events playing out like that, but even among them, Hecate being Medea's backer is obviously a major one!

"...All right."

Athena thought for a while, then looked at Jason, who had managed to hide from her for several days, and finally accepted: "But in this case, you need to at least give me three days more... Just let this child sleep for three days."

******

Soon, three days passed.

Jason, who had been sleeping continuously for three days, gradually woke up from his sleep.

And just after waking up, he was startled and jumped up from the bed.

"Little Jason, you're awake."

What appeared in front of his eyes is a beautiful goddess sitting in front of the golden loom, wearing a long white dress, with a graceful figure and waist-length silver hair hanging down behind her.

"After a while, your clothes will be woven... originally, I wanted to continue playing with you, but I'm a little sleepy now, so I'll let you go this time." After saying this, Athena reached out and threw the last flame lotus petal into the machine.

'...? ? ?'

'What is happening here?'

Jason looked at Athena with an ignorant face.

'Sister, who are you?!'
