Westward from Athens she would lead them, tugging at the instincts, ensuring the path was clear, and all others difficult.<br/><br/>The two women would leave Athens choosing their own way, but the goddess of love would carefully guide their way so that the two would cross paths before reaching Halie's grotto.
