《Guardians : Awakening of Athene》Chapter 17: Love
Advertisement
Athene stands under the golden shine for the sun. The glass windows above her revealed dozen of lovebirds chattering beautiful songs enchanting the atmosphere. The pleasant music from nature travels into the audience as they wait for the man of the day. They waited and waited. But no one came. Athena worried. The crowd worried.
Is this her first marriage in the human world. For a goddess to fall in love with a human was already ridiculous but a marriage between them was forbidden. She knows the law more than anyone. Being the goddess of wisdom and also the goddess of law and justice, she knew her consequences.
An hour as passed by, but there was no sign of the man. The audiences started to whisper. "A runaway", "Maybe something happened?", the crowd's chatter became louder as another hour passes by. A couple of them started to leave. Athena didn't stop them. All she could do is to wait.
As another hour takes away half the crowd, only remaining those who had a role in this wedding or those who actually care. But soon, half a day passes by, the sun started to set. When the moon rises above the sky, only Athena stands there with her beautiful white dress and the flowers in her hand.
She held her head into the stars and started to smile in despair, losing all her hope into the man. She wanders her mind off in her thoughts, wondering why wouldn't he come. She had it all plan out. marriage, honeymoon, kids, and eventually dying as a human. Forsaking all her divine powers for her love towards that man.
The man didn't come. The entire church was silenced and voiceless as Athena dropped her flowers, walking out towards the entrance.
The door opened, Athena rose her head, hoping it was the man she loved. But it wasn't. It was a female. Golden hair with a model body, she walked towards Athena with her cocky pretty face. She held her hand out giving Athena a business card, then exiting the room. Athena pays attention to the card. "Escort, Angelina." Athena flipped to the back of the card. "Pick him up at Rainbow Hotel, room 143.".

The card burned in flames as Athene's eyes turn enraged. She dissolves into blue particles of matter as it disappears into the night sky. She arrives at the entrance to the room, 143. The sound of a female moaning reaches her ears. She walks toward the door as if she was a spirit reaching beside the bed on the couple. The couple looked at the young lady in the wedding dress.
The male attends his eyes on her. The words, 'Athena' came out of his mouth. The man that was supposed to take Athena's hand in marriage, the man that promised her an eternity love, the man who Athena would forsake everything for. Here having the pleasure of his life with another woman, an escort, instead of coming to the marriage. Athena stood there, heartbroken, tears fell down for the first time of her life.
The man stood up and sighs. "Look, I been wanting to tell you. I had enough of you." His eyes stared at Athena as she stood there like a beautiful statue. "To me, you were just a plaything. Understand?. I got tired of you, so get out of here!" The man shouted as tears dropped down from her eyes. The female partner started to giggle as if she already won the war.
Not willing to move, Athena stood there, in front of him as if she does not believe this cruel truth.
The man was enraged by her actions, he rose his hand and pushed Athena to the ground. Pointing his finger on to the door. "Leave". He then pulls the engagement ring and threw it to the floor. "Take this with you too."
The escort stood up naked as she pulls the hands of the man. "Forget her, let's have some fun" With a cheeky voice from her mouth. As the man push her down onto the bed, forgetting Athena's existence.

Athena stunned, she picks up the ring. Grasping it with her hand, as she leaves the room soundless and heartbroken by this human.
She passes through the door and the sound of these two couples started again. Joy, laughter and the moaning of the female, as if nothing happened.
An hour passed by, the two couples finally came out of the room and exiting the hotel. Athena stands in front of them once more, attracting a crowd since she never left that position since she came out.
The man surprised and annoyed. "I told you, you were a plaything. I got tired of you. What aren't you understanding?." The man shouted again.
The crowd roared as they heard this. This scumbag has been toying with this girl, that is something no one can accept. Some wanted to come over and punch this guy in the face but Athena stopped them as she walked forward.
Athena rose her fist, she punches him in the face. The man fell back to his bottoms as Athena turns back leaving the scene. The crowd goes wild once more, only wishing this scum would just die.
The man lifted himself up, enraged and out of control. He pulls a dagger from his pocket, and charges forward, stabbing the blade into Athena's back as she falls down on to the ground. Leaving a pile of blood. Without her goddess body, her eyes waver as her brain functions down.
The man stood tall, laughing as Athena loses her conscious. Only to hear the siren sounds of cops and ambulances.
The image stopped as if time stopped for Alice.
Alice recognizes this, this memory is a memory of Earth. She thought to herself. "This isn't possible right?..." It didn't make sense, as the legend told. Athena has been sealed three thousand years ago.
The imaginary image disappears as Alice wakes up from the memories of Athena. Only leaving herself with thousands of questions.
The first being, what exactly happened three thousand years ago.
