บท 258: Athena III

"So here's my gift to you. With your permission, I would like to fuse Gaia into Earth."

"What does that mean?" said the prince, shaken by his prescient warning of some unnamed amalgamation within the maelstrom of his subconscious. And he thought, 'Was this a trap? A game to give myself over to her?' 

"It's as it sounds. With my authority, I seek to fuse Themiscyra into your world, granting Earth a higher level of Mana, better fighters, higher fertility rates, knowledge, and more." 

Her words appeared sincere, and perhaps they were. But was this the right move?

Athena seemed to sense the apprehension and said, "It would not just be Themiscyra. But many other realms across Gaia herself." —Altair's brow jumped, but he allowed her to continue without pause—" Dungeons as you know them to be are mere fragments of a single realm. Some are large; others are small. Some possess borders, others do not. It all depends on the God who crafted the trial."
