Neo stared at Athena.
The room was dimly lit, the flickering flames of a nearby brazier casting long shadows on the marble walls.
The scent of aged parchment filled the air, mingling with the faint aroma of burning incense.
He wondered how much he should reveal to ask her about the novel and his reincarnation. After thinking for a bit, he decided to be direct.
"I'm from the future," he said.
"I know. Ares told me through telepathy." Athena answered while her expression remained unreadable.
Athena could use telepathy.
With it, she was able to know everything that occurred during the meeting in a single second.
The golden light from the brazier reflected in her piercing gray eyes, which lingered on Neo as if she had something to say.
Suddenly, Neo opened his mouth.
"This was my favorite book."
"Son of Zeus?" she asked when Neo pointed at the notes in his hands.
"Yes."
