Chapter 25

**Summoned by Fate**

**Athena's POV**

I was lounging on Lucifer's throne, quite enjoying the luxuriousness of it, when the door to the room burst open with a flurry of movement. Before I could fully register what was happening, Arion stormed in, flanked by an army of fairies. Yes, fairies. Tiny, glittering creatures that, despite their size, looked seriously ticked off. Their wings beat in rapid, irritated flutters, and if looks could kill, I'd be six feet under—or maybe just mildly annoyed since, well, they're fairies.

"Athena!" Arion's voice boomed, his usual calm demeanor gone. "You've been summoned by the head of the council. You need to come with us. Now."

I glanced at Lucifer, who was leaning casually against the wall, arms crossed, looking like he was debating whether to smite Arion or just laugh at the absurdity of the situation. The fairies, on the other hand, looked ready to start a revolution. I sighed, pushing myself up from the throne.
