...*****...
...There was someone who was trying to be okay when his heart was really hurt....
...Is that what you call pretending ?...
...No, that's what we call maturity....
...Love is the motive, but justice is the instrument....
...Get here understand?...

“Yes, justice. Goddess Themis, who will give justice to you as well as interpret what is best for you, Athena.”
Athena was stunned and did not think she could be judged by a goddess, she thought she would only be punished without getting a little justice.
Hades only judged according to what Athena had broken. Where as a goddess has come into contact with Arjuna, who is a human being so far away even to the point of leaving olympus just to follow the instincts of his heart.
But behind that too, the presence of Athena beside Arjuna did not pose any danger to Arjuna. Even Athena swiftly became a shield to protect Arjuna from the gods who had the intention to harm Arjuna. Not only that, Athena even helped Arjuna become a better person.
“Please wait, maybe he will come soon” Hades told Athena, because Athena began to fidget in Hades' room which was quite stuffy in because the atmosphere was very different to make it crowded.
Seeing the restlessness on Athena's face made Hades so pity that he changed the air in the room to be cooler.
Athena who knew it was the act of Hades made Athena smile.
“Thank you” said Athena sincerely.
While Hades did not answer again, he nodded his head.
The door of the room finally opened. Featuring a beautiful female figure with a slender body, long wavy hair, a face that is so calm and shady makes every eye that sees it amazed to forget also with eyes that are covered in cloth, and also with eyes that are closed, carrying scales and a double-edged sword.
She was the goddess Themis, also known as the goddess Justicia.
Themis (greek: ⁇ ) in Greek mythology was one of the female Titans who had a close relationship with Zeus. Themis means the law of nature. It is the body of rules, laws, and customs. Themis was one of the goddesses associated with the Oracle of Delphi because she helped build it. He received it from his mother Gaia and gave it to Foibe.
Many Neo-Paganists, especially Neo-Pagan Hellenists, consider Themis to be the goddess of virtue and justice, and many modern sects consider Themis to be instrumental in determining life after death. It carries a set of scales that are used to weigh one's good and bad. Themis also gives final input before the fate of the soul is determined by Hades. Pagan followers used to pray, burn oil and frankincense, eat food, or spill drinks as offerings to Themis. They considered Themis to promise health, pleasure, virility, and charisma to his followers. Themis is usually worshipped by men. The only other Themis couple was Zeus. From her relationship with Zeus, Themis gave birth to Horai (the goddess of order) and Moirai (the goddesses of destiny). The personification of abstract concepts was a distinctive feature of the Greeks. The ability of the goddess Themis to see the future made her one of the Oracle of Delphi, which ultimately made her the goddess of justice. Some classic depictions of Themis do not show himself blind or holding a sword (since he symbolizes mutual agreement, not coercion). Themis built the Oracle at Delphi where he was himself a clairvoyant. According to another version, Themis received the Oracle of Delphi from Gaia and then gave it to Foibe.
Slowly but surely the moment Themis stood before Athena, she smiled kindly at Athena as if she could see Athena before her in the event that her eyes had been covered in cloth.
“Take me as your mother also Athena. I'm not your enemy. Not if you are the favorite daughter of Zeus” she said so gently.
Athena was slightly stunned, among the wives of her father Zeus who might have slightly disliked the children of Zeus' affair, indeed only Themis whom she knew was a quiet person. There is a story that says that when Themis was ignored by Zeus, Nemesis said that Themis was very angry. But Themis did not feel that way at all. The beautiful cheeked Titan was the first to offer a cup to Hera when she returned to Olympus.
Athena who heard that only carved her pure smile on Themis as well as Themis, as if she could see Athena smiling at her, she returned the smile.
While Hades who saw the scene could only smile and hope in his heart that Athena could be judged well by Themis.
“Zeus, hopefully everything can be in accordance with your expectations” watered down Hades in a soft voice even barely heard by Themis or Athena.
