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
WAR GOD Chapter 20
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
WAR GOD Chapter 21
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

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

Vera drove away with a wide smile on her lips, she liked how much Ivan cared for her. It was an entirely new feeling to her, to have someone apart from her mother care for her this well, that is minus the press who are always on her case for juicy gossip and something to feed the public with.He had a good sense of business and was very intelligent in management and finances, She thought about hiring him but discarded the thought just as immediately as it came to her.The headline would be horrendous, ‘Millionaire CEO Vera, hires her ex-husband Ivan Johnson as her assistant due to his immense brilliance’ She laughed out loud at the thought of it.The headlines aside, she knew Ivan would never take a job from her, he was the most responsible, respectful human, but he had an ego that was larger than his head and a pride he would never let down.She knew this from the little happenings around the house for the three years they were together.She reached out her hand to turn on the radio,

Chapter 186Sara sighed as she looked around the hospital room one last time. As much as she hated it here, she would miss these walls.These blank white walls that she had stared at all those nights when she could not sleep from all the pain that coursed through her, body and soul.Tuning to a waiting Hermes, she gave him a curt nod to signify she was ready to leave.Hermes patted her shoulders in reassurance, guiding the wheelchair out of the room and into the Hallway.Sara smiled and waved at the few patients whose faces she could remember, she would miss them.Not so much, though, but they had contributed one way or the other to her journey of recovery.As they wheeled out of the hospital, she sighed in satisfaction as fresh air hit her face, greeting her and the sunlight cast its warm glow on her skin.The fresh air she felt was a giant contrast to the sterile air inside the hospital, one she had slowly grown accustomed to but was now leaving behind.The scent of fresh air mingle

Chapter 184Keeping her little family private was not exactly a choice that Athena had chosen for herself, but it was what seemed to be right at the time.She had made a family, a small, beautiful one with a mortal whom she had bared herself to.Alex was the one man who had seen beyond her mortality, and even more understood her when she explained who she was.They had met downtown when Ares had sent her on an errand. They had bumped into each other while she was trying to cover her tracks.Something had clicked between them ever since, and Athena could not resist it.Of course, they had met again, and again, and again. By the third time they met, they were stumbling into his little apartment.Lips locked, hands all over each other, and clothes flying off their bodies.

Chapter 183The rest of the ride was quiet, and soon they were there, parked in front of the house, with Ares too skeptical to walk up to the door.“You know we can't just sit here in the car and stare at the door all day,” Anna said, sighing in frustration.“Yeah, I know, it's just… I don't know Anna.” Ares said, his fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly, Ares exhaled a long breath.“Ares, we should go.” Anna urged him, “Let's go, come on.” Anna said, stepping out of the car and peeking in to give him a stern look.“Come on Ares,” Anna said as she walked towards the door.It was evening already, and Anna hoped with everything in her that they were in and would be willing to let them see the child.Ares finally gathered enough courage to step outside the car and all towards the door.Anna had already rang the bell, so she stood aside and waited for the door to open.Walking over to stand behind her, Anna turned to give him a reassuring look before ringing the bell again.This ti

Athena sighed as she rolled over in bed, it was one of those days when she would rather not in bed than get up for any reason But she had plans, and with the company being her sole responsibility now since Ares embarked on the journey of finding his child, she needed to be at the office.Rubbing her eyes for a few minutes, Athena finally rolled out, sitting at the edge of the bed and contemplating if all this was really worth it.Or perhaps she could ditch work and everything else for the day, fall back into her bed, and pretend none of it even existed.Scolding herself, she pushed off the bed and headed for the bathroom to get ready.Getting right into it, she did her morning business. Brushing her teeth lazily as she sat on the toilet bowl.Tearing her pajamas off her body when she was done, she trudged into the shower Putting on and letting the cold shower cascade down her back. Exhaling sharply as the cold cut through her skin, giving her goosebumps. It was precisely what she n
