WAR GOD Chapter 149
Chapter 149Ares sat at the table going over the war plans when Mother Isis walked in. He had not noticed yesterday, but now that he looked a little closely, he could see she did not look alright.Her eyes were sunken, her eyes had lost their beautiful glow and her skin looked paler than usual.“Mother Isis.” He called, walking up to her. Her steps were uneven, and she looked as if she felt a little dizzy, he noticed that too.“Are you alright?” He asked he had never seen her like this, so it was a little alarming.“Ares dear, I am fine,” she said, walking over to the table to take a look at the plans “Preparing already?” She asked surprised, she knew he was proceeding with the arena, but she did not think it would be this early.“Yes,” Ares replied shortly. He saw her eyes fall, and her face looked sad.She did not support this either, just like Athena. “Son, can I have a word with you?” She asked, walking away from the table towards a quiet corner. “Gentlemen, please excuse me, I

Chapter 150Ivan was shocked when he opened the door to see her. He glanced towards the living room to make sure Vera was not looking.He had to get her out of there as fast as possible.“What are you doing” “No one.” He called back when Vera asked who was at the door.“You need to leave.” He told her. Ares probably sent her to spy on the house, like they did the sect arena.“No, I have to speak to you, and I must.” She said.Ivan could see the determination in her eyes and voice. It would be difficult to get rid of her, and he had to.Something about her was different and he could not tell exactly what it was, he would have gauged her aura, but he was not quite used to using his power around Vera yet.He sighed when Vera asked her to come in, she had as trouble as Ivan knew, but he was unable to tell Vera that just yet.“Please, have a seat,” Vera said, gesturing to one of the couches. “Thank you.” She said with a sweet smile, “You are too kind.” “Oh please, it is nothing,” Vera s

Chapter 151“You are asking me to run away, to leave my people.” She said in disbelief.“No, Sara, it is not like that,” Ares said, trying to salvage the situation.“On Ares, it is exactly like that,” Sara said angrily.“Not when you interpret it like that, what I meant was go into hiding for a few days before and after the war,” Ares explained.“No, Ares,” Sara said with a stern voice and an even sterner look. “Please, Sara, I almost lost you the last time. I do not want history to repeat itself.” Ares said. “Then do not instigate the war, Ivan will not, I know that for sure,” Sara said.“Why does no one understand me?” Ares said frustrated. His hand found his eyes and he rubbed.“Because you are being selfish, and we cannot understand you because we are not you,” Sara said. “You know I thought my leaving would be a sign, or perhaps a prompt for you to change,” Sara said sadly, her voice breaking.“But it was not, you are not even remorseful.”“It is not what you think.” Ares said

Chapter 152“Who was she?” Vera asked, gesturing with her chin towards the closed door.“Athena, she is one of the gods,” Ivan said, rubbing her hand gently.“From the other side?” She asked. “Yes, Vera. She is on the other side, with the new gods.” He told her.“I think you should. Take her advice.” Vera said, "Send a peace treaty, that's the way there would be no war.” She said thoughtfully.“We can't Vera, we have pride as a people, what do you think will happen if I do send the peace treaty, and it gets rejected?” He asked. “The people will not have it from me,” Ivan said.“I do not think they will reject it, Ivan, you and your people have lost so much to these same people before,” Vera said.“And I am sure they have too, maybe they are waiting for you to send the peace treaty in first.” She finished.“Fine, I will talk to Hermes about it and see what he thinks,” Ivan said.Hermes jolted when the door jerked open and Sara stormed in with a frown.“Easy, easy tiger,” Hermes said,
