But the last promise Athena needed from Cora was the most important.  The Olympians were not the only pantheon still in existence.  Along with those other gods were monsters and other supernatural beings.  Gods, monsters and things that would strike at the people Athena loved, if they knew of such people.  If Cora became known to those others, it could be that the kindest thing that Athena could do for Cora would be to kill her.<br/>
<br/>
"Cora, I come from a very old family," Athena began.  "Old families, like mine, make enemies.  Sometimes powerful enemies.  If my family's enemies can't get to me, they may try to hurt the people around me.  Do you promise to never describe me to anyone else as your lover and never to say Athena or Athena Kanakaredes is your lover?"<br/>
<br/>
Athena hoped that Cora would consider all of the grave implications and possibilities that went with this promise.  Still, she also hoped that after Cora considered the possibility of danger that the mortal would believe Athena was worth risking her mortal life for.<br/>

"Consider this carefully, Cora," cautioned Athena.</span>
