I eyed the goddess in a perplexing manner, did she really say what she said? She wanted to help me dethrone her fathers, "You want to betray Zeus, isn't that convenient?" While she had reasons to make this declaration believable, I was skeptical, I wasn't the same trusty guy I used to be.
"I don't blame you, nor feel insulted by your skepticism," Athena sighed, her eyes closing for a brief moment, "This is something I decided on the go, my main objective was to bring you back one way or another for the good of Olympus, but that changed when I saw you, maybe I'm being stupid, or maybe this is the right decision, but regardless of the nature of my decision, I firmly believe if anyone has a chance to dethrone him it's you," she sighed, giving me long hard look, "Politically speaking, you have a better standing already, Hades would most likely side by your side, and so would Persephone that in turn gives you Deméter, Hestia would most likely bring more supporters to your cause,"
"I find your sudden change of heart rather odd," I admitted, "But let's say I believe you, what do you want me to do? Trust you?" I chuckled.
"In war when making allies one must make sacrifices," Athena stated and I snorted.
"Maybe, but I rather avoid them if possible…" I replied, after all, I had no guarantee her words were true, if I opened that door to her… she could very well be the cause of my demise.
"Understandable," Athena nodded, "Then it will be me, the one making the sacrifice,"
I blinked, "What?"
"You have been betrayed, and hurt by those who should've protected you," Athena sighed, her golden eyes locking into mine, "I can't blame you for being like you are right now, so I will be the one to make the first sacrifice in our relationship,"
To say I was confused was an understatement, I mean… I was ready to throw hands with her when I felt her presence, not make an alliance, this was out of my comfort zone, by a few miles, "I don't quite understand… what is this sacrifice you are speaking of,"
"I surrender my realms to you," Athena bowed ever so lightly, "From this day to the day you deem me worthy of your trust, you are the keeper of my realms. Wisdom, Reason, Strategy, Warfare, Craft and Arts, and the Patron of Heroic Endeavors,"
I eyed the goddess for a brief second, "Why?"
"I want to help you," Athena stated, "I want to end the cycle he started, and whether I like it or not, you are our best shot… besides, if Hestia abandoned her family for you, you must be really special…"
Special, ha… a special problem perhaps, "Very well," The moment I said that, a light flew from her head to mine, and suddenly I felt connected to her realms, not like I was with mine, this was less intimate, and more like my head was a prison for her realms.
"Now, I recommend we leave," Athena stated, "It won't be long before Zeus feels what I have done, and while you are certainly stronger than ever before, he stills reigns over you,"
"Give me a month, or two," I shrugged with a cocky smile.
"A year ago I would've laugh at that," Athena admitted, "But at the rate your power has been increasing, I can't help but feel it's very possible for you to accomplish such deed,"
"Very well, let's leave this place then," And with that I teleported us to Asgard, I wonder if Hestia was going to be happy about this…. in some myths Athena and her were friends.

[Hestia POV]
A succubi had been teleported to my room, and well… I was needless to say rather surprised at this development. So taking a deep breath I approached the demon and I felt something coming off from her, a very familiar energy… Adam, "You belong to Adam?" It felt somewhat sour to say that, maybe it was because I never expected Adam to own slaves.
"I kinda forced him into having me as a slave," The Succubi giggled, "He was not happy about that, at all,"
Forced… had she raped Adam? No, that was impossible, Adam had more than enough power to kill her if she tried anything funny, "Why are you here?" I asked.
"Well, your secret crush sent me here because he felt someone was following us," The Succubi replied, and my hand twitched for a brief second, "Don't get angry, I just call them like I see them, lover boy likes you, and well… I can feel you like him too," she wiggled her eyebrows.
Adam liked me… of course he did, we were best friends, family, and family loved each other, "Of course I love him, and he loves me, that's what a family do,"
The Succubi stared at me blankly, "He said you were a virgin, but to be this dense," she sighed, "Sweetheart, he likes likes! You,"
My eyes widened at that, so she was implying Adam loved in a romantic way, "I see, well…." I was lost for words, Adam was a sweet kid with a gentle heart, and I was the eternal virgin of the Hearth, he deserved better, falling in love with someone that could never reciprocate was not something I didn't want for him, and yet… the idea of him loving other made me feel odd.
"Is that jealousy I feel?" The Succubi giggled, and my eyes widened, "Oh my I think it is,"
Was that jealousy? "I… maybe," I sighed, "But even if I do have feelings beyond family for him… I can't never act upon them," Love… that kind of love, only brought suffering and pain, that was a lesson I learned when I was but a child.
"Adam is not Zeus or Poseidon, or Kronos," The Succubi stated, "But if you have to reject him, please don't break his heart… he has suffered more than any of us can possibly imagine,"
