Does Athena answer your prayer?
Sort of
After a minute of silent prayer, there wasn't any sound, any indication that your words reached Athena... As you sadly stood up, you first heard stone crackling and the saw... Athena's statue staring at you! Her eyes were brightly glowing blue.
With all that you've seen, you shouldn't be surprised about magical happenings. But you were; Athena heard you! "Who summons goddess Athena?" she asked in a bellowing voice. So, you pluck up your courage and answer.
"It is I, Shadow." You bow your head, and tell her, "I have no recollection of my real name, o wise one."
"Fear not," she assured. "For I know who you are." You felt weirded out that a goddess had been... watching you? But she got back to the matter at hand. "The queen of Themyscira feels violated because of you, and you wish to correct your mistake?"
"Yes." Suddenly, the statue's eyes dimmed completely as it returned to its original position. You looked all around for any sign of the goddess, but even as you checked behind you for the third time, she was gone... Until she appeared in front of you, startling you as you turn back around.
Athena looked very calm and collected, as is her character. Strong yet yielding, feminine. Donning her Roman helmet over her brown hair, she was attractive to behold: her toga dress reaching down to above her ankles; sandaled feet and the end of her spear planted on the ground so that the tip would be parallel to the top of her head.
"Everyone makes mistakes." With her voice not paired with a booming, divine one, Athena sounded very smooth. Much like honey. "Even the gods. If you're truly sincere on your apology, then you must demonstrate that to the amazonian queen."
"I want to, but how?" you ask.
"You took advantage of her, and now she resents feeling ****. She wonders if you're just another wicked man. You must appease to her." When you asked how to do it, she smiled and said, "You're smarter than you look. You'll know." And she evaporated in front of you, and you look around thrice. All clear.
"Thank you..."
In the throne room, Hippolyta and Diana were discussing a strategy to prevent Hades to be rereleased. "But mother. Shadow isn't a bad man. I've worked with him."
"Diana," her mother firmly interrupted. "Hades had the perfect excuse last night to lure another pawn into his grasp. This must never happen again." She lamented over what happened:
After you were escorted to bed that night, she looked to the stars and prayed to Athena for guidance. In a sudden vision, the queen beheld your curiosity of her naked form; she saw how it evolved into perversion; and worst of all? She saw how you were influencing her dreams, somehow... Just by talking softly to her.
Her bitterness toward you was unmistakable, and she said that she couldn't trust you. As if on cue, you enter the room and bowed before her and Wonder Woman. "Your majesties."
"What do you mean, barging in on us like this?" demanded the queen.
"Your highness? It was completely my fault for what happened to you and Diana. My voice has a subliminal influence on others, and I'm able to create pheromones that infatuate. I didn't realize it at the time, and..." You set yourself on both knees. "I am at your mercy. I truly regret not having a stronger moral center..." You lower your head, and both the princess and queen looked at each other in bewilderment.
Does she accept your offer?
