"Right to the point, huh?"

"I think that not being direct would put my life in trouble" Said Alfonso.

He took life at Artemis.

"You don't need to say unnecessary things" Said Artemis

"Ok, so I take back the part about marriage?"

"Do it and I will cut your little guy" Said Artemis with a cold face.

"You see? Your daughter is just not too honest"

"I understand; I wonder where she got that attitude from" Said Hecate with a sigh.

Artemis felt wrong but she couldn't deny it either, so she just pinched Alfonso's arm.

"Anyway, jokes aside, I am please meet you, not just as your daughter's boyfriend but as the lord of Wasteland Valley, in these few days I heard about your help with those guys that came to kill me" Said Alfonso.

"It was nothing, just some ants" Said Hecate.

"Do you want to take a sit?" Said Alfonso.

"Sure"

Alfonso and Hecate sat in front of each other while Artemis stood in the middle.

"I would like to know more about you, goddess Hecate" Said Alfonso.

In theory, Alfonso, and the whole earth in general, knew few things about the goddess Hecate.

In Greek mythology, Hecate was a titan whose origin was unknown, some historians believed that she lived even before Gaia and Neptune, however, nobody was so sure.

She was revered as a great goddess and guarded the houses and the mysteries.

By mysteries, one can refer to many things, however, the most acquired term would be 'mysticism'.

Hecate was known as the porter of all mystics, of course, by mystics, one couldn't just talk about magic, one could also refer to natural phenomes that ancient people couldn't grasp why it happened so they call it magic.

Alfonso was one of those, he believed that Hecate represents some natural phenomes that weren't so… magnificent as the one associated with Zeus and such.

Of course, that was when he was on earth.

Since he came here, everything has proven that all his believes were in the wrong place, so, although he knew the history of the gods as the palm on his hand. He actually knew part of the history, he didn't know all, in fact, he was missing really important parts of their lives.

Hecate was a good example of that, she was involved in a veil of mystery.

"My inter Historian is tickling" Though Alfonso.

"It seems that you are very interested in me" Said Hecate with a small laugh.

Why did she laugh? Because Alfonso's eyes were sparkling with curiosity, Hecate knew this kind of gaze really well, because she herself made that kind of gaze when she found knew types of magic.

"I am sorry, but you are just like… a celebrity where I came from, especially in us historians" Said Alfonso.

"Oh, I thought that I was pretty low key in my time on earth" Said Hecate.

"That exactly why, you see, humans have a tendency for search to the unknown"

"Fascinating, it seems that we have a lot to talk"

"It will be my pleasure"

Alfonso and Hecate smiled at each other.

Artemis looked confused at the scene.

You see, she had this picture in her mind, where Alfonso make the impossible to be accepted by the evil(according to her) mother-in-law,

Then he will lift her in his arms and kiss her under the two moons with Hecate defeated on the ground.

Despite what it seems, Artemis was actually quite the romance novel lover. Alfonso left some famous histories of love, romance and drama so Susana won't be too bored. How would he know that the one who became addictive was Artemis instead?

"What is going on?" She though.

"Daughter, you can go now, this good sir and I have a lot to talk"

"Don't wait for me~" Said Alfonso while waving his hand.

The door behind Artemis close and she stood there in silence.

"Can someone explain to me what just happen?"

..............................................................................…

Alfonso and Hecate talked all night about different things, Alfonso felt that he had encountered an old friend and so did Hecate.

Both drunk some tea and chatted about serious stuff and idle stuff.

"So you studied us?"

"Not just use, everything that our ancestor left, it was my job to know why and how did they did things"

"What did you though when you heard about us, gods?"

"Well, to be honest, as a fantasy book, it was really good, but more than that…"

"Haha, I see, so modern humans thought that gods were just fantasies?"

"Well, you can say that, although, since I came here, my sense of what is real and not had turned over" Said Alfonso.

"Do you miss your live on earth?"

Alfonso was a little surprised by this question. He thought for some seconds before smiling.

"I live a good life on earth, it wasn't all good, there were bad moments, however, that's how life is, I lived long enough to see my parents die and my sister got married and have a family on her own, although I am a bit sad that I left before her, she had the support of his children and her husband, all in all, I only had one regret..." Said Alfonso with a bitter smile.

"It seems that it was quite unfortunate" Said Hecate.

"Yes and no… it was about principles… principles made humans what we are, I couldn't bend them… even if it was for my best friend" Said Alfonso.

"…" Hecate didn't say anything, she just looked at Alfonso.

She took a smile sip of her tea.

"Going back to your question, more than miss my live on earth, I just want to know why and who got me here"

"Why do you seek those answers?"

Alfonso took a deep sip of his tea.

"I have this thing in my head that wants me to follow a certain path, I can't escape from it even if I take some measures"

"It needs me and I need it"

"But…"

"I am sure that, before long, I will stop being useful to it"
