Chapter 85 - Head Priestess (1/2)

A woman could be seen standing in front of another statue of Athena that was twice as big as the one Theoric and his group were at.

”My Lady Goddess how may I serve?” asked the woman who was wearing extravagant white robes that covered her entire body with a hood on her head just hanging over the golden mask she wore to hide her face.

The statue's eyes glowed heralding the arrival of Athena - ”I have an important task for you, my daughter has arrived to seek me out and I wish you to entertain her.”

Caught off guard by the news the woman didn't know what to say as she listened intensively.

”It is against Zeus's law for us to meet, so I can only ask for you to help her realize this, and help answer any questions she may have, though I doubt she'll have many, after all, she does take after me.” Athena boasted a little.

The woman bowed deeply- ”You can count on me, my Lady.”

”Good, I don't expect I need to tell you what will happen should any harm befall her.” After a short pause, ”And tell her... Tell her, I love her.”

The woman couldn't help but grin underneath her mask at seeing her humanity show, thinking maybe there is hope yet for the Olympians.- ”Certainly, I will not fail you.”

”Good,” Athena said before the glowing in the eyes of the statue faded, signaling her departure.

An old woman arrived who had similar white robes but without the hood or mask, and not as grandly designed. - ”My Lady, you called?”

”There is an important guest that needs to be brought to me immediately upon discovery, she will most likely visit the public temple, go there and bring her to me,” she commanded.

The old woman started to instantly carry out the orders as she turned around, but paused to ask- ”Um, my Lady, how will I recognize her?”

”You will know who it is when you see her, I expect you to be discrete when you find her, use the back entrance to bring them to me,” she said believing that the Head Priestess would be able to recognize the daughter of Athena even if she has never seen her before. The Priestess should still feel her importance, feel the connection to their god.

The old woman receiving her orders quickly left.
