She had crossed the boundaries where no human had walked for years. No prints in the sand but her own. It did not matter anymore did it?
Athena was so tired - so exhausted that she could hardly hear herself over the wind shrieking through the canyon like a banshee. She took a step closer with the cliff edge coming so much closer. It did not matter if Helios saw her now, walking down - did it? Who would stop her?
Wisdom shut her eyes as she stood still, drawing a breath. All the misery and despair, she should be able to live through this. Should. Every thing was a should but never a would.
For the good of the world, she had put aside the burden of responsibility that she was created to bear but yet, what happens after? Nothing - it didn't mean anything at all. It was almost a slap in her face - the world that never needed her in the first place and she had, all this been imposing herself on them.
As the wind swept her hair, she didn't stop but the cooing sound made her pause in her steps before turning around slowly to see the other woman. Some relief filled her as she recognized the calling of this one goddess even if she had not seen her so many years.
"Hello, Oizys." the words form brokenly on her lips as she took another step back. Don't try to stop me.
