Ookla the Forgotten

@Spark of Hope

Athena stumbled away, hid behind a nearby tree, and collapsed. ”Remind me to never do that again,” she whispered to herself. Then she curled her knees up to her chest and cried.

“YES I AM CERTAIN!” Athena screamed at the top of her lungs. “WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!”

“Nobody,” Athena manages to get out. “Nobody.”

The pain intensifies, and Athena’s eyes start to water. No, I must not show weakness, Athena demands herself. All he’s looking for is a small crack. I will not give him that satisfaction. She stares straight ahead, using every last bit of her willpower to not shake, to not cry. Despite her best efforts, a single, tiny tear leaks out the corner of her eye and snakes down her face.

Pain, pain, everything was burning and freezing, stabbing, shooting pain, everything making Athena almost rethink her decision, but then she remembered who she was and how she got here. She would not yield. Ever.

“Why would I respect anyone? That would mean that some people have power over me, and that is not something I want. Nobody deserves my respect.”

“Control her. Make her another one of my minions. What else do you do with someone who respects you?”

“I want her to respect me. She must, or she will die.” Athena responds calmly.

After multiple hours of lying on the ground conversing with people that others can’t see, Athena is sober enough to have a conversation. ”what do you want with me?” She asks.

Athena, who has been standing in the corner holding drinks for her and Elan 1 for the past while, and has apparently drank both, speaks up. ”I am not abusive! Why would you think such a thing? Did Eddie tell you I was abusive? Because if so you should hurt her for me.” She staggers toward the dog, trips, and falls. “Won’t you do that for me, dog? Hurt Eddie please? I’ll give you a bone.” She smiles at the dog in the way a crazed drunk person would.

Athena walks back in, holding drinks. "Hey Elan 1, you wanna drink? I brought one for you :)))"

“I DO NOT LIKE BROCCOLI ON PIZZA” Athena screams as she’s walking out.

Oh if you can please still sacrifice Eddie that would be great

“Awww thanks for paying Elan now I can leave don’t kill yourselves…” Athena starts. “You know what, I don’t even care I’m leaving byeeeee”

Athena follows Elan 1 into Kneaders and orders French toast.

“ERAS!!! This is why I hate you. Now nobody’s gonna listen to me anymore.” Athena glares at her brother.

“I hate to say it, but… I think Pablo might be right. We get fifteen minutes there.” Athena turns around and starts heading to Kneaders.

“Elan,” Athena sighs. “Haven’t we talked about this? McDonald’s is not worth losing a war for. We’re not going.”

After watching Eddie and her group leave, Athena turns to her minions. ”I’d say that’s a job well done.” She smiles. “Very few injuries, no casualties, and nobody has left my side. But,” her tone of voice suddenly changes to one of someone you don’t want to mess with, “we can’t let them get away like that again. In fact, if we don’t find them within the next couple of days, I will devour at least one of your souls. Is that clear?” Nobody responds. ”Good. Now let’s get a move on. We don’t have much time.”

“AAAAHHHHH” Athena screams at the platypus and charges, slicing at it with her sword

Athena whips out a shield just in time, the bullets dent the shield but do no damage to Athena.
