You'e walking through the carved out cavern of Mount Ida when you push past the climbing wisteria into House Leto

"Hello there traveller..." a lioness says as she approaches you- her eyes seem glossy as if she was blind but she moves with grace and watches your every move "My name is Aphaea, I was named after her..."
The lioness nods her head over to a statue rising out of a watering hole, the moss clings to her and the light cracking though the rock shines on her features
"That's also Aphaea, she's the protector of the nursing, and the pregnant - just like I am, and so will my predecessor." The lioness does a lazy circle around you and saunters towards the water and takes a seat - she beckons you to follow
"Odysseus visited my home pride to make trade with my previous father - when he noticed me. At the time I wasn't sure why he wanted to bring me home with him - or why my father let him. But then I was brought here, to Mount Ida, while at home I was deemed useless for my cloudy vision, here I have been deemed wise.
The lions of Mount Ida believe that cloudy vision increases other senses. That's how I got the name. Now I serve my role - and I serve it with pride
Aphaea looks back at the statue - it was made of a white stone. You weren't sure why the statue was here or what purpose it served, but Aphaea was done talking to you, so you get up and leave
