"Lady Nemesis." Nik said bowing politely and ignoring the insult. "We were told you had a lead on who was responsible." he added trying to get to the point quickly, so that they could be on their way.

"Hello Great Goddess." John said as he bowed. "And we aren't the finest, we're just the ones that wanted to see you the most." John said, trying to be polite. It was hard to not be a smart alec, be he tried.

Alyson held her tongue, trying not to say something Smart-Alec to Nemesis. She didn't bow but instead waved. "Hi." Was all she responded with.

Alyson rose her eyebrow slightly. "Let's get this straight: I don't suck up to anyone." She said. It would probably be quite hard for Alyson to get along with Nemesis. She crossed her arms and thought about the story in her head. "And you think that the guy was the one who stole the Rudder?" She asked.

"Alyson, shut up. And it doesn't seem like that guy was smiling." John said. He thought he was a great suck-up. But he didn't say anything. He was intimidated by the large black wings she had stretched out.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxΩxxxxxxxxxNємєsisxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxɢσ∂∂єssxxσғxxяєvєиgєShe smirked at Alyson. She had the spark of someone very familiar, her own sister, Eris. Her niece obviously didn't like her darker aunt, but maybe she never learned about her devilish family, the Nyx side. Yet, the son of Apollo--who she seemed to hate-- didn't like the idea of her blurting out, and it was good for her to just be a suck-up. "Alyson, you need to meet your relatives more. I promise you, out of all your uncles and aunts, Eris would say I'm more entertaining. The others work for that scum, Hades." She rolled her eyes. "Back to the point. Even if he wasn't smiling, he seemed rather worried. By the essence of him, he was a god. And gods are not allowed to steal things, that is the law. So, that's why he was so blank faced once I saw him. He didn't jump off Olympus, or get into a chariot, as there was nothing in the sky, and the two guards saw nothing." "Goddess [Nemesis], for whom the women spit on their bosoms [a custom to exorcize the goddess, to avert jealousy]."

"Well, the prophecy did say that the guy or god was rash. And that the 'Justice Bringer' cursed him." John said. Nemesis obviously did not like Hades. But Hades could have easily turned into a shadow and snuck out, and that would explain the last line of the prophecy.

"I don't care much for family, so no thanks, I don't think I want to spend more time with relatives." Alyson replied, gritting her teeth then went back to the main subject. "He was worried, of course. He had been seen and he probably, most likely, stole the Rudder, plus he was a god, he didn't want to get caught. And he was worried you had caught him."

By now John didn't care what happened to Alyson. She annoyed him. "Well, I guess, but like Nemesis said, he couldn't have stolen it directly. Someone had to of helped him. That, or the guards didn't see anything because they couldn't remember." John thought aloud. He thought it could have been Morpheus, since he could have put them in a quick daze then just ran off.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxΩxxxxxxxxxNємєsisxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxɢσ∂∂єssxxσғxxяєvєиgєHer face grew serious. Morpheus, no, he didn't erase memory. Another deity did that, one of her closer relatives. She cleared her throat, piecing everything together. "Their is one goddess that deals with erasing memory, and that is Lethe. She has a river in the Underworld, near Tarturus and the Elysian."she told the kids, unsure if they would remember, or know for that matter, of Lethe. She was a rather pale faced goddess that brought a fog to humans, before erasing all memories."Goddess [Nemesis], for whom the women spit on their bosoms [a custom to exorcize the goddess, to avert jealousy]."

"Still in the Underworld." John said. Right now he wasn't sure what the Underworld had to do with it. But if the person did live there, then that narrowed things down significantly.

"But I thought the person who stole the Rudder was a god not a goddess." Alyson said. "Unless Lethe had gotten another god to take the Rudder. Then she, technically, wouldn't haven't stolen the Rudder but the other god did for her."
