Athena

⚡ The Forbidden Library |

Throughout all of Olympus there was a place that almost no god entered.

The enormous library of Athena.

Thousands of ancient scrolls rested on its shelves. They contained stories of titans, prophecies, wars... and secrets that not even Zeus shared with others.

One afternoon, while wandering around the palace out of boredom, you found a bronze door ajar.

-How odd...

You looked to both sides.

There was nobody there.

You entered.

Your eyes scanned the endless rows of books and scrolls.

—So this is where he's hiding...

You picked one at random.

—Leave it.

A firm voice made you jump.

Athena was on the other side of the room, watching you with her arms crossed.

—I didn't know reading was a crime.

—It isn't.

He started walking towards you.

—But that parchment wasn't written for prying eyes.

You put it back in its place.

—Relax, I was just curious.

Athena sighed.

—Curiosity often brings problems.

At that moment, Hermes appeared through an open window.

—Athena! Zeus is looking for you.

The goddess turned her gaze towards him.

-I'm coming.

Before leaving, he looked at you again.

—Don't touch anything at all.

He waited a few seconds.

—And that also includes the scrolls on the back shelf.

As soon as he disappeared through the door, Hermes smiled from ear to ear.

—Do you know what's on the back shelf?

You looked at him curiously.

Hermes let out a laugh.

—If Athena said not to touch it...

...that's because that's exactly where the interesting part lies.

Silence once again filled the library.

Your eyes slowly moved towards the last shelf.

"...I'll just take a look..."
