WAR GOD Chapter 16
Ivan stepped into the house, waiting for Vera to lock the door and lead the way.Vera wanted to avoid Catherine's hawk eye from following Ivan around, so she led him straight to her room, locking the door behind them.Ivan scanned the room, turning around, not much had changed he noticed.Vera placed the flowers on her dresser, turning to give Ivan a seat. Ivan looked handsome as always and somewhere in her heart, Vera was happy that she'd had the opportunity to call this fine man her husband.“Please sit,” she said, pointing to the bed.“Thank you” Ivan replied, withdrawing his hands from his pocket and taking a seat at the edge of the bed."I'll just shower quickly, and then we can go,” Vera told him, walking towards the bathroom“Okay, take your time,” he said, settling comfortably on the bed.Vera took a hurried shower, threw on a towel, and went to the wardrobe.Ivan stared as Vera walked out of the bathroom, his prying eyes following her. He watched the droplets of water fall fr
WAR GOD Chapter 17
Ares stepped out of the elevator into the dimly lit hallway, shaking his head gently, as if willing the remnants of the thoughts of his father to disappear.The hallway led to the sect arena, where the new gods held their meetings and deliberations.He opened the door of the arena gingerly and was greeted by emptiness, he was used to it, always making sure to be present several minutes before the other gods arrived.He walked around the table, tracing his hands on the chairs slowly as he made his way to his seat, which was at one end of the table.There were ten seats in total, four on each side and two on the opposite ends. The table was made from oak with black chairs around it. They were portraits of a few extinct gods and those who had been destroyed in the war, with a large portrait of Prometheus on the wall just above Ares' seat.The door opened with a gust of wind and sand flying into the room, Ares lifted his head to see who it was, but the doorway was empty for a couple of mi

It was an unusually longer ride than it should have been, Vera could feel the tension between them grow.She couldn't quite place her hand on what it was, but she could feel it, and she guessed he did too.She turned to look at his expressionless face, with his eyes focused on the road. Ivan felt her stare linger on his face and smirked."Take a picture, it will last longer," he said cockily chucking a little, glancing at her."Oh please" Vera whined, embarrassed she got caught staring. "Here we are," Ivan said, pulling up in front of the giant building that was her company.He stopped to take out his keys and turned his attention to her."Ivan," she said softly, taking his hand in hers, wrapping her soft little ones around his."I never got the chance to say thank you, for everything. I wouldn't be here without you" she said quietly, appreciation laced in her voice."Hey, it's nothing. You worked hard to earn everything you have today, I just gave you little pushes when you needed

“We could lie low and still do something” Athena reasoned.“That doesn't completely count as lying low” Osiris argued, turning to the rest of the sect with his palms stretched open.“True” Ares agreed with him.“But, lying low without doing anything doesn't seem right to me” Athena disagreed further. Sitting back and folded her arm, grumpily.“It was just a suggestion, Athena, we haven't concluded on anything yet, so stop sulking.” Mother Isis scolded.“We'll take them out one by one, not as a group,” Ares suggested “But we don't know their number” Hades said“Which is why we have to send out spies and find out,” Ares said, “If one of the spies escaped as Hades said, they probably have some information about us by now” he concluded, looking around the room.“What if we lead them on, let them find us and strike first? That way we get to see their number and capacity and know how to counter-attack.” Apollo suggested, his eyes cast on the desk as he drew Indistinctly on it with his fore

Ivan walked back to their initial seat. He sat with his hands clasped on the table as his thoughts wandered. This just confirmed his guess, they were greater than them.He knew just which of the new gods killed his spy, there was no way they could've defeated him or come back home alive.He knew it was Hades, Hades had brutally eliminated his spies. All he knew because he had fought with the god of the underworld. In his immortal form, Hades was terrifying, with his black cloak and flame-lit eyes and his three-headed guard dog.Hades had a distinct smell, which Ivan had perceived on the remains of the spies.Artemis put down the phone on the table, staring intently at Ivan, he looked in deep thought, and she hated to break it, but she had to.“Hermès should be here any moment now,” she said as she waved to a waiter to take away the cold coffee and replace it with a fresh one.“Did he find anything?” Ivan asked. “He didn't say anything to me,” Artemis said.She sat impatiently, wonder

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

“I have no idea, I'm just as clueless as you,” Hermès said, lifting his glass of whiskey back to his lips and wincing at the burning sensation at the back of his throat.He placed the glass back on the table with a thud.“I should get going, I have things to do,” he said, waving the waiter over for his bill.“I should leave too, I have to tell the rest of me the sect of the recent developments,” Artemis said, getting up to leave too.“Alright, see you around,” Hermès said as they parted ways.Ivan drove as fast as he could, to beat traffic. His mind wandered. He was afraid something was wrong, and she would rather not mention it, probably something that had to do with Steve Anderson's death. But he'd taken care of that.“I'm not going to worry until I've spoken to her” he cautioned himself as he pulled up into the driveway of the café.He spotted her car up front and knew she was there already.Vera sat in a booth at the back sipping a cup of coffee with a half-bitten chocolate-covere
WAR GOD Chapter 23
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
