Chapter 168Ivan looked around at the bodies of his people splayed on the ground, his heart sank for them and his blood boiled with anger.“Ares!” He called. “Just the man I was hoping to see.” He said, smirking evilly as he walked towards me.“And why is that I wonder,” Ares asked, letting a smirk that matched his.Both men fought vigorously, Ivan felt the first blow and his head spun when he touched his side and felt the warm golden fluid that was his blood.Willing himself to stand, Ivan charges back at him, missing his arm by a margin.Ivan could tell he would lose, his arms were weak already and his knees felt like they would give way any moment.Applying pressure onto his side, he managed to get up on one knee, holding himself steady by digging the blade of his sword into the soft ground.His eyes opened wide in horror when he saw Ares charge towards him with a pained Expression, and his nose flared in anger.Unable to even move, Ivan closed his eyes and waited for the blow, bu

He had probably asked one of the nurses for a chair or something.“Yes, I am still here.” Ares said, getting up to face him, “I really need to see him.” “Be quick!” Hermes said, a stern look on his face. “Thank you,” Ares said solemnly, walking past him and into the room.Ares approached Ivan's bed, his presence exuded a rare solemnity as he gazed upon Ivan, the man whose valor had clashed with his vicious self.With his gaze rendered on Ivan, his shoulders bowed under a cloak of humility.Ares sought to bridge the chasm between their groups that had been torn asunder, mainly by his selfishness.With slow, measured steps, Ares cleared his throat as he sat on the bedside chair that Hermes had occupied earlier.“Ivan” he called, his voice so

So when the opportunity had presented itself, Ares had snuck in to see her.“Ares” She called weakly from the bed when her eyes met his.Ares' mouth fell open when he saw her, his guilt was renewed when he realized he had caused this, he was the reason she was laying there strapped to so many machines.“Sara,” Ares called back, slowly approaching the bed, his feet heavy with the weight of battle waged and the toll it has exerted.Sara's eyes were trained on him, her spirit just as resilient as her body was frail and fragile.Her eyes bore the weariness of a thousand battles when she had just been in one, she looked up at Ares, who was now sitting at her side.“You know, the doctor said I might not get out of her, they would be too deep and had affected some vital organs,” Sara told him, no

Chapter 173Ares knew the other gods would not take his decision lightly, he had signed and sent that treaty without their knowledgeOf course, he was sure to meet some ruckus when he broke the news, but he was far from going back.He was not the Ares who would bend his rules to please anyone, he had done it once…or twice perhaps, and it had cost him tons.He figured it was time to take matters into his own hands and do what was right and just.The constant chaos and conflict were taking a toll on him and his people, whether they were ready to admit to it or not And he would be damned if he let it continue despite the obvious signs to let it go.His footsteps resounded as he walked into the vast and empty hallway that led to the arena.He walked into the grand Hall of the gods, amidst the great celestial opulence and grandeur that supersede anything the mortal realm could imagine.Ares could hear their silent whispers and not-so-quiet murmurs as he walked in.His eyes met Athena's, a

Make an effort to sort peace.He was done with war and strife, and now he had to find his child, for himself, for Sara, for his progeny.Sara was on her sickbed and her helping him was very limited, but she had mentioned on one of his visits that Anna would help if Ares could ask.Recognizing the significance of Anna's role in Sara's life and the bond they had shared in the short while they had been together, he decided to approach her with humility.He understood the weight of what he did and how much he owed Anna an apology.Exhaling a breath and reminding himself why he was here again, he knocked lightly on the door.He didn't know if she was in, all he was told was that she lived here.Anna sighed lazily when she heard a knock.
