Tate's mind boggled as he looked at the three goddess. His Highschool mythology class having deserted him as he racked his brain to come up with the name of a goddess. His brain being no help he decided to trust chance. "I choose her." he said randomly pointing at the goddess with an owl on her shoulder.
"Wisely chosen." the goddess said with a smirk as the other two vanished in a puff of annoyance. "What do you seek, you have promised rewards what boon do request?" She fixed her attention on the mortal before her.
Tate swallowed before replying. "My friend was taken by Zeus, and I want to rescue her." He bowed down to show some respect, "Will you please help me get her back?"
She looked him over, "I had hoped it would be something new, but at least this is ground well covered. Very well I shall help you retrieve your love from Zeus."
Tate was having trouble believing what he was hearing. One of these gods was really going to help him! He continued kneeling, "Thank you, but she is not my love." He would have protested further but the goddess's knowing smile caused him to falter.
"Be aware mortal that I cannot just go into Zeus's palace and take your friend. I will grant you favors so that you might retrieve her. You must plan your rescue and you must do the deed yourself. I give you these boons, the first freedom from your bondage." At that statement the two were outside and the base nowhere in site. "The second, this owl will help you. He has wisdom, you would do well to hear him." The bird flew from her shoulder to his, causing him to wince as the weight hit him. "And for the third, These three feathers will grant one divine favor, simply break one with your request in mind, if it be within my power it shall be granted. A final warning once at Zeus's palace my power to help you will be very limited. Good luck mortal, I will come for you once you have used the third feather." and with that statement the goddess simply dissappeared.
Tate looked at the owl on his shoulder. "Well now what?"
