《Guardians : Awakening of Athene》Chapter 4: Blessing and Curse
Advertisement
- Kingdom of Ellis - Winter -
Snow, white as feather fallen from the sky. The noise of a drunken man developed in the inn. "Verona has fallen!" He rose his root beer and drank the rest from the can. Men gather around, cheering in for joy, dancing and celebrating for the war. "We humans are victorious! The goddess of victory is on our side!"
The sound of the main entrance door banged as a young woman enters the room. Men's eyes glares at her white loose blouse with her short mini-skirt. Their mouths drooling as her beautiful silver long hair passes through them. She reaches the bar and sits down pulling her latex dark high heel boots up.
"Whiskey please". Her gentle and beautiful voice enchanted the entire atmosphere.
The bartender nodded, unable to speak while being charmed by her beauty from this Japanese woman.
"Where can I find the nearest university." She reaches for the bottle of whiskey.
The bartender pulls out a map from his iBracelet and nervously handing it over with the bottle of whiskey.
The iBracelet is essentially a cellphone that humans use to communicate but it also has the ability to hold inventory into a magical dimension.
She grabs the map and scans her eyes through it, holding the bottle of whiskey as she walks toward the door. "Thanks" as she waves goodbye to the bartender.
The bartender's voice breaks out, managing to speak, only after he agitate his head from the anxiety and fear caused by this lady. He shouted in a hurry, "name, your.. name?"
The young woman replies with a sigh. "Alice, Alice Sato". Her body then dissolves into particles of matter converting herself into the colour of the night sky.
- Soundless Lagoon-
Particles of dust appeared under the blue moonlight, forming a human image of Alice. She sits on the cold bench, reaching her hands to the sky as if she could have grabbed a star down.

She lays down her head and closes her eyes.
- Athena – She chanted.
A blank space of white appears around her field of vision. Fragments of crystal clear puzzle pieces scattering across the dimensions. Images appeared on the glass pieces.
"Memories, blessings, curses, and fate. You won't be able to avoid any of these" A majestic voice deepens the space.
"Remember your promises." Alice opens her eyes as the voice echoes through her head.
It's been seven days since Alice had obtained Athene's will. Each day, fragments of memories had corrupted Alice, allowing Alice to share the bonds of Athene. Losing herself and influenced by these fragments of fate. It wouldn't be long till she loses herself into the path of the queen.
Her black hair has been dyed with silk hair, leaving only a part of her original colour. Her black right eye infused with magical gold, engraved with the symbol of wisdom and wings of feathers. Leaving her to be heterochromia.
The Starry stars brighten up, late night small creatures flew around the forest. The sound of water flowing down calms Alice down. She breathes in the fresh air provided by this divine lagoon. The spring-like warm breezes through her clothing as she lifts herself into the lake. She undresses, leaving her clothing on a boulder nearby and walks into the magnificent spring liquid.
- Barrier – She lifts her fingers and a transparent field appeared surrounding the area.
Behind the shadows of the tree, a small figure came out of hiding.
"Hehehe, stupid Alice, doesn't she know, Sir Lancelot is incredible!?" A squeaky cute voice was made. The small figure digs through the soil and enters the barrier without Alice's knowledge. An eight-inch albino creature sneaks behind the boulder and slowly approaches Alice.
Alice naked body revealed itself underneath the water, relaxing and washing off the pain and memories that she wants to forget. Lucas, her first love. Father, dead and Yukie, still missing. "Only if, only if I was stronger. Only if I wasn't born useless." She told herself as tears broke down, she cries, her voice reaches above. But the Soundless Lagoon carries it away, no vibrations can be allowed outside the lagoon. Nobody will ever know, except for the small perverted rabbit, Sir Lancelot.

Alice lifts herself up and walks out of the lake, she reaches for her clothing as the rabbit panicked to hides himself. She grabs the ears of Lancelot and pulls him up. "Enjoyed the view?" She grins with an annoyed expression. "Tonight's dinner. Roasted Rabbit.".
Lancelot wipes the blood from his nose, panicking and struggling to set himself free. "I AM SORRY! Give me another chance!" He begged.
"This is the fourth time already!" Alice throws the rabbit into the lake. "Reflect on yourself."
The lake splashed as Lancelot dives into the water.
"Why did I have to pick this pervert up." Alice sighs, as she puts on her clothing.

There will be occasional user polls to decide how the story progresses, interspersed throughout the story, and the polls that were done in the original version will still apply to the current version. Also if you have any suggestions for story ideas that you would like to see incorporated, leave a comment about it, and they might show up in the future. Lastly, I hope you enjoy the story, and thanks for reading. P.S. Thanks to gej302 for the cover art.
