Chapter 6: Her Return

Six Years Later.

Athena inhaled deeply, calming her fraying nerves whilst sitting in the limousine her friend had hired for her.

In her hands were the ticket to the party, which he had pleaded with her for months to attend, the party that would herald her return to the world where she had been exiled from.
