Hekate, goddess of witchcraft and magic, one of the most mysterious goddesses in all Olympus. Her origins are unknown, some historians think that she as a direct descendant of the Titans while others gave her origin as an antithesis of Artemis who represents light.
However, most historians agree that her descendants are Apollo and Artemis.
Although her origins are a mystery, Hekate was one of the few gods in general that Zeus didn't dare to touch.
"Mom… how have you been?" Said Artemis with an awkward smile.
"Daughter of mine, it seems that you aren't that happy to see me" Said Hekate.
"No, no, you are imaging things, haha"
Hekate looked at Artemis who awkwardly looked to one side.
"Well, I will let it slight for now" Said Hekate.
Dionisius and Aphrodite made a sigh of relief.
"Daughter of mine, I think that I have to meet someone, the one who summoned me" Said Hekate.
"That would be Alfonso…" Said Artemis.
"Alfonso? Since when did you call a mortal, especially a man, by his name?" Asked Hekate.
"Well… I…"
"Daughter of mine… don't tell me…."
"Mom, let's talk this another time… yes?" Pledged Artemis.
"…" Hekate looked at Artemis.
Finally, she sighed.
"Ah~ I guess I should have put more attention to you back in when we were in the Olympus, but I must said that I would have expected this from Apollo, that playboy… but to think that my daughter would fall for a mortal… *Sight*" Said Hekate.
"She is not the only one though" Though Aphrodite.
Suddenly, Hekate turned her head towards Aphrodite.
"What do you mean by that, Aphrodite?" Asked Hekate.
"Eh?"
"Have you also fallen for that mortal?"
"No, no, I consider him a friend but no more than that!"
"A mortal becoming a friend of a god? What is going on here?" Asked Hekate turning to look at Dionisius.
Dionisius trembled a little but the sight of Hekate.
"Uncl- I mean, Alfonso he is also a good fri-"
"You were to call him uncle a moment ago, didn't you?" Said Hekate.
"No, no, I-"
"I hate lies"
"Yes, I was" Answered Dionisius.
Hekate though for some seconds.
"If memory doesn't fail me, you used to run on the Olympus shouting 'Aunty!''Aunty!' to Demeter" Said Hekate.
"For some who never was in the Olympus, you are awfully well informed!" Though Dionisius with a bitter smile.
"Don't tell me…" Hekate was stunned.
"That Demeter!? The Demeter!?" Asked Hekate.
"…" The three gods remained silenced.
"Yep, that Demeter" Though the trio.
"Daughter of mine, tell me everything that has happened since you came" Said Hekate.
"And I mean…"
"Everything"
Artemis shuddered a little by the gaze of her mother and began recalling everything that has happened since she came to Leitol.
Hekate listened with attention.
After a while, Artemis finished and Hekate remained in silence.
After a couple of minutes, she talked
"Daughter of mine, let me asked you a question"
"Yes, mother…"
With a serious face…
Hekate asked…
"Are you still a virgin?"
"Pfffft" Aphrodite and Dionisius almost choked themselves.
"MOM!" Shouted Artemis with embarrassment.
"It's obvious that you have feelings for this Alfonso guy, however, staying in a room with a man for so long, I am afraid that he might have taken advantage of you, you are quite naïve after all" Said Hekate.
"NO! Alfonso and I haven' done anything!" Said Artemis with embarrassment.
""Wow, really?""
Team rocke- , I mean, team Aphrodite and Dionisius asked with a surprised expression.
"Really!" Shouted Artemis with anger.
Aphrodite and Dionisius were stunned once more.
"You enter Alfonso's room every night I thought that you were going *pam* *pam* all night long" Said Dionisius.
"Really!? Hahahaha, I can't believe that you entered Alfonso's room every time just to sleep with him, hahaha, quite innocent aren't you!?" Aphrodite laughed while grabbing her stomach.
Artemis clenched her teeth with a red face.
"I don't believe you" Said Hekate.
"Eh?"
"I said I don't believe you, come with me"
Hekate grabbed the hand of Artemis and exited the room.
Dionisius and Aphrodite were about to follow when they heard the voice of Artemis from outside the room.
"Mom!?"
"What are you-!"
"NO! Stop stripping me!"
"Mom!? What are you doing with that hand!?"
"I told you that I didn't…no"
"Mom! NO, NOT THERE!"
"…" Dionisius and Aphrodite looked at each other and pretended that they didn't hear anything.
After some seconds of silence.
Hekate came to the room while cleaning her hand with her dress while Artemis entered the room with clear signs of crying.
"*Sniff* *Sniff*"
"Well, it seems that you were telling the truth" Said Hekate with a monotone voice.
"…" The three gods were speechless.
"Anyhow, I must admit that this Alfonso is interesting, to make this daughter of mine and my friend Demeter fall for him… I would like to speak with him, it's a shame that he isn't here" Said Hekate.
Of course, when Artemis told her everything, she also mentioned the events in Arcadia and how Alfonso was taken.
"Then, when is he coming back?" Asked Hekate.
"He should be set free in one week, I already talked with Felio so he can fetch him and I meet him in Tulip" Said Dionisius.
Just then, a sound came from outside the door.
"My lord! This is bad!" The voice of Ribeiro could be heard.
Dionisius opened the door.
"Ribeiro, what is going on?" Asked Dionisius.
"My lord! There is news from Arcadia, here look!" Said Ribeiro while showing him a piece of news.
Dionisius grabbed the letter and was stunned.
"A jailbreak in Hell's Asylum!? Leonardo is death!?" Shouted Dionisius.
"What!?"
Artemis ran and grabbed the news.
"Then… what happened to Alfonso, did they him free?" Asked Aphrodite.
"Look here, it says that the leader of the jailbreak is a man with black hair and a green eye, he also walks with a black cane, which means…" Said Dionisius.
"They didn't send him to the mansion, it seems that this Leonardo guy send this Alfonso guy to Hell's Asylum" Said Hekate who approached from behind.
Artemis, Aphrodite and Dionisius were stunned.
"It seems that we already know where is he" Added Hekate.
"What do you mean mom?" Asked Artemis.
Hekate pointed at the end of the news.
"THE CULPRIT HAS BEEN ARRESTED AND ITS CURRENTLY BEING TRANSPORTED TO THE VERITIA FAMILY TO WAIT FOR PUNISHMENT"
