The whole table stared on in silence, some surprised and others not, Athena and Apollo knew how much Ares loved Sara before the war, and they weren't surprised that he still felt the same way now, many years after the war.Hades hissed, averting his eyes from contact with anyone, he knew what he said, and he wasn't sorry he said it. He felt no remorse for triggering Ares' outburst and sat back comfortably with his arms crossed, and his infamous smirk plastered on his lips.The floor was open for suggestions, and he gave his, so why was he angry? Yes, he loved the girl, but that was before the war before the old gods eliminated many of their own, including his father, their leader Prometheus.Every feeling he had for Sara should have died with the war. Moreover, the girl was blind and had no memory of him whatsoever, it would only be utilizing their means by doing what needed to be done. It would harm no one if she was used as bait, Hades thought, rubbing his chin.Mother Isis looked a

Anna had spent just a couple of hours with Sara and already like the girl, it took a little time for Sara to warm up to her though, but she was glad she finally did.The girl was very much introverted and intelligent, Anna had studied her carefully. She was fragile yet had a strong, commanding aura around her.She had the softest voice Anna had ever heard and spoke so calmly that she could put anyone to sleep by just speaking to them. A skilled instrumentalist with the most beautiful singing voice that was second to none.She had a power she hadn’t yet unlocked and Anna knew it would take time, but it would unravel.Anna examined her I knew her and knew she was curable, but it would take time and help from Ares in terms of her regaining her memory. She’d need subtle reminders and feelings to be able to remember anything.And that’s where Ares came in, she’d have to talk to him about it, maybe ask him to spend more time with her. Remake some memories and kindle old flames.Her sight wa

Mother Isis followed Ares with her gaze as he stomped out, she didn't blame him. Every so often we feel so strong for people that we can't stand any form of slander against them.She had been very much in love once and had made insane sacrifices, so she understood why Ares would rather be in disagreement with the sect than do anything that might hurt or threaten Sara's safety.“Don't! Sit back down” She commanded Athena as she made to stop him “he needs to clear his head”Athena looked at the door before letting out a sigh and sitting back down. She didn't understand why Mother Isis would stop her or why Hades and Osiris thought using Sara as bait was a good idea or suggestion when they both knew how Ares felt about her.Men! She thought, wondering why thinking was hard for them sporadically.“Do you men ever bother using your brain sometimes? Try it, it is helpful.” She said, rolling her eyes at the three of them.“Calm down Athena,” Mother Isis said pleadingly, the last thing she wa

Ares froze at the question, not because he didn't have an answer to that, but because he didn't know how to explain, Where would he start, how would he make her understand without sounding like some kind of obsessed creep?Sara waited patiently for an answer. She could sense his breathing Change and his pulse pick up pace, she knew instantly that he was anxious. It probably was a touchy subject for him and was sorry to pry, but it involved her, so she needed to know.Ares watched her face, brushing away a stray strand from her face, churning his mind for the best way possible to tell her without completely telling her.He knew she wasn't ready to hear everything, at least not right now, She would most definitely freak out and ask to go home or ask to be taken to her people, the old gods."Why?" Sara asked again.Ares sighed lightly, his grip on her hand tightening a tad bit."Because Sara I...I lost you five years ago," he stuttered. "And I don't plan on ever losing you again," he sai

Ares stepped into his room just opposite Sara’s he closed the door behind him leaning on it and letting out a sigh of relief. That went better than he imagined, he thought, untucking his dress shirt from under his pants.He slowly leaned away from it, taking his time to unbutton the shirt. He pulled it off his body as he got to the bed, landing face down on the pillows.He wanted to sleep right away, but he knew he had to freshen up to get the quality of sleep he deserved. so he got back up to undress completely and take his shower.He slowly sat back on the bed and bent to take off his shoes before he stood and proceeded to take off his trousers.He scooped up the clothes threw them into the hamper on the side, and walked to the bathroom.The last thing Sara saw was his retreating as she fell into the warm embrace of a much-needed sleep, the soft mattress made it even more warm, making her cozy up into the pillowsShe was awakened by a ray of sunlight that shone brightly, peeking fro
