Return

In a way returning back was more depressing than finding that prophecy. James enjoyed being able to explore and seeing the areas still left for him to explore James pondered what could be out there but after a week journey he sighed seeing Elysium was in sight, “Don’t like being back?” Athena chirped and nodding James said, “Egypt felt more natural, more alive. Here it feels so… fake” “I know… look I won’t keep you here long. Just a day or so then you can go on your way. Zeus wanted to thank you but given the circumstances Hera said she would. I for one want to discuss what you found” “Let’s forget it” “No because it important to discuss how you feel learning that” “I become a leader and by the look of it found a lover; annoyingly it’s has all told to me by some supreme being on a wall but I will enjoy it” “I never took you for a believer?” “I’m not but it’s a guideline. Documents like this change” “Maybe so, I just don’t want you getting yourself wrapped into the images expecting it to immediately happen” “I won’t. All I ask is to spend the least amount of time with the other Isu as possible” “I know… I know, it just means we can’t see each other for as long as I would like” “Me too… but we can’t change the decision that YOU made. I’m not getting into this” there was silence for a few moments before seeing him from her temple she smiled as she spoke through the device, “I’ll see you in a few minutes.”

Athena smiled as she studied the book, carefully contemplating her initial thoughts. James was sat on a nearest chair relaxing as he ate and apple and Hera joining him spent her time reading through his journal, “Naughty, naughty James!” Hera mocked reading the part about Sekhmet, “Doesn’t it make me technically the same level as the rest of you now?” “I don’t think so because she is from outside the clan but I will check. It does mean Zeus can’t say shit without having Sekhmet and her clan warring with us” Hera explained to which nodding Athena snapped coldly, “We should be at war with them for hurting you in the first place!” James shrugged staring at the notes Athena’s team had made on the images on the wall and focusing on it said, “A woman with Thor’s hammer… hmmm. Woman with what looks like magic. A taller woman with a band on her head. No clue. Is the witch Circe?” “Doubt it, I am going to assume it’s all from the North” Hera commented and studying the drink scene said, “Must take place after going to the north. Wouldn’t be wearing an wolf skin it I I hadn’t been there. Of course it could mean months later or even years later” James remarked.

“Very good point. Could be years away!” “But his next location is the North!” Hera joked turning to James to see his reaction but being distracted by Athena’s dress showing off her legs she slapped him over the head to snap him out of it, “Enough of that! You know what would happen if Zeus saw you!” “One of the image depicts Athena in it!” James retaliated but adjusting her dress to hide her legs Athena snapped, “Doesn’t mean it happens now at this very instance” “But it does happen. The question is what is that drink? A potion yes. What does it do if it causes that!” James pointed to Ragnarok and sighing Athena growled changing the subject due to her not believing in any of it, “Midgard is not the North. It’s actually the South of the North” James shrugged before putting the file down grumbled, “Still the North in my eyes. So what’s my target?” Athena pulling the image up said, “A necklace. It’s called Brísingamen used to belong to Freya but Odin took it off her; it’s rumoured to make her the most beautiful woman in the nine northern realms. I wanted to study that device and she if the rumours were true” James nodded before studying it said, “Doesn’t look much” “Too someone it does. It’s currently on the move around the same area” “So I have to kill someone for an necklace?” “When you put it like that yes” Hera summarised. He nodded before ignoring his family enter the temple jumped up from his seat and say, “I’ll be on my way. I will need a boat!” after kissing Athena on the eager lips and Athena to annoy Hera even more groped him, “Enough you two!” James laughed taking the document, “Don’t you want to study it first?” Athena questioned but seeing Persephone and Hades wait for them to finish their conversation, “No. I will do it on the way!” and pushing past the family who pleaded for him to just stop and talk to them he said, “I got work to do. Excuseeee me!”
