Athena kept a tight hold on the little mouse to keep if from changing back into a woman or a tiger Arriving at the cell, she looked carefully at the mouse and asked, "Why was she out this late?"
Haldir, Glorfindel and Prometheus jumped to their feet and ran up to the bars. "Please, don't hurt her," Haldir pleaded.
"Twas a message for me she was carrying," Prometheus spoke up.
"Oh?" Athena asked him curiously.
"Princess Ariadne has developed a desire to see your city," he said, emphasizing YOUR CITY.
Athena smiled. "I was really pleased that it was an Athenian who killed that smelly beast," she admitted. "You do know there is a war brewing, don't you?"
Prometheus knew of the war, but Theseus would not have known about it. "I was unaware, my lady."
"Yes. I'm here making sure Crete is on the right side." Raising Tiger up to eye level, she said, "You know elf, I offered to give this creature back to Prometheus, and he wouldn't take her. I guess it's just easier for him to fuck her on the side until whatever promise he made is fulfilled." She laughed and slipped her hand through the bars, giving Tiger back to Haldir. "I have no use for the thing myself, but apparently she has some magic powers over men."
Haldir thanked the goddess profusely and set Tiger on the floor. Within seconds she was in her human form. He held her against him. Athena looked at him and slowly shook her head. "It amazes me, it really does," she said and then looked at Theseus. "You will make my city great, won't you?"
"Your city is destined to be the greatest in all Hellenes," Theseus answered.
"Why, that sounds almost like Prometheus," she said and scratched her chin, "who by the way I have been unable to find. I even checked with Eos and Selene, and they haven't seen him." Looking at Theseus, she added, "I really wish there was a way we could become friends again."
"Prometheus probably knows this already," Theseus said with a smile.
"Yes, well, if you're taking Ariadne back to Athens with you, good luck. Dionysius is on the prowl, and he fancies her himself, although I have no idea why."
Theseus inclined his head. "Thank-you for the information, my lady."
Athena looked from him to Tiger, who was half hidden behind Haldir. "You need to be careful cat woman," she cautioned her. "One of these days you'll have no one to back you up." Turning away, Athena disappeared.
.........................................................................................................................................
The departure from Crete actually went very smoothly with Celeborn and his grandsons waiting for them at the docks. And somewhere along the way, on an island whose name they could not remember, Ariadne was abducted by Dionysius. Theseus did not seem to concerned, and Glorfindel could not say with any certainty but sometime before they reached Athens, Prometheus said good-bye to them and returned Theseus to his ship with memories of what had happened on Crete.
A week after arriving in Athens, Celeborn delivered Argo to his mother, collected their money, and said it was time to go home.
