The vortex was spinning and Athena's voice echoed in Aisha's mind. The words sent a shiver down her spine.
“Every few millennia, there is a reckoning, a challenge if you like; set out by what on Earth you call the old gods. It is a time when champions from across the known Universe are called to face challenges and the winner’s side, will hold sway, so to speak until the next champions match. Dark, Light, or Shadow striving for the upper hand.
You, still part Earthling, but also able to function as a Federation of Galaxy commander and trained elven recon operative, you are a perfect challenger; with the ability to overcome the other challengers including those of the Darker Lords. You I believe, as a side game, as a Cosmic Pawn would indeed put the cat amongst the pigeons.
I, Athena, will call you my champion, and add you to the listings, but as the Unknown Warrior. Not by your name. No, that would give the game away, so I think I will simply enter you as the Unknown Warrior or better still as Shieldmaiden of the Gods.
I will see you again. Soon.”
