With a wave of his hand a strong gust of wind was released which threw off all the mud away from the clothes as Zeus held it in its place, and this time Zeus was instantly able to recognise the piece of cloth.
" I am sure this cloth belongs to Apollo but why would he come to a place like this? Wait the cloth from earlier... " Then he took out the smaller cloth and stared at it for a while longer and now he finally remembered that it belonged to his son.
" Is Maia's disappearance somehow related to Apollo? Is he plotting against me? How did he even knew about this place? " Several questions appeared in his mind, he stayed there for a while longer then decided to go back.
But he still tried to search for Maia for a few hours before he finally gave up and decided to just ask Apollo about it, he was trying to hold in his anger he was so close yet he was not even able to touch Maia, with rage filling him up Zeus disappeared in an instant.
