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
