The sun shone bright and the cool wind blew throughout the city as Athena asked some of the citizens of Athens if they had seen Odysseus. After nearly half an hour of asking people she walked back to the fountain and sat beside it, a few moments later a woman wearing a blue dress sat beside her, "it is you, the goddess Athena!" Said the woman excitedly as she moved a little closer.
"Yes I am Athena, what is your name?" Athena asked, "my name is Helena" said the woman, "do you know of Odysseus?" Asked Athena. "Yes, I have met him before" said Helena, "you have!?, when?" Asked Athena, "he was here in Athens, we talked just over there four day's ago" said Helena, "can you tell me anything else? Athena asked, "after I talked to him he walked towards the temple, your temple and then I saw him" said Helena.
"Saw who!?" Said Athena, "I saw a large man in a black cloak grab him, then they suddenly vanished in a burst of red and purple smoke" said Helena. "So Odysseus was taken!" Said Athena, Helena nodded and said "yes, it happened so quickly", "they have taken him to a place us god's cannot see" said Athena quietly, "I know of one place like that" said Helena.
"Where!?" Asked Athena, "there is an island south from here, it is surrounded by fog and strong waves" said Helena, "I have seen the island that you have described, it is a dangerous place" said Athena. "I am sure it you shall find Odysseus there!" Said Helena, "thank you Helena, I shall go there straight away!" Said Athena, a few moments later Athena had said goodbye to Helena.
Athena tried to transport herself to the island and moments later she had found herself standing on an island called Rhodes. "What am I doing here...hmm the island must be blocking me from transporting there, I shall have to travel there by boat" said Athena, ten minutes later Athena had acquired a boat and set sail towards the island Helena had told her about earlier.
After sailing for twenty minutes the island was finally in her sight, the island was surrounded by a thick fog, Athena could see the strong waves ahead of her and continued onwards.
