Love and War (Open)

[ARES]

This room has been empty for years now since the absence of Ares, the god of war, none even knew where to begin the search for the mighty god of war, but there was one who should have a clue where he would have went, that person was the goddess of love, she should be the one with the clues to finding Ares, but in all seriousness, he left her with nothing to go on. He had vanished from the radar of every god. However, no matter where he went, he kept in touch with one person, that was his daughter, Christina, and the reason he kept in touch with her, was because she was not an Olympian.

The reason he left was quite simple, he grew tired of arguing with his father about every damn thing. But that was not his only reason, the main reason was because he knew that all of the gods hated him and in his black heart, he felt that it was due to jealousy, and on the last week before he left, he felt as though the one who he loved above all else, the one whose name was Aphrodite had turned against him too, that caused him to leave without a word or any trace of where he was going. Ares would have left sooner but Aphrodite gave him a reason to stay for as long as he had, but now that he felt that she, too had turned against him, he had no choice.

No matter what though, his love for Aphrodite was still strong and would never cease as he kept it alive, in his black heart, he knew that she still loved him under all that hatred that she appeared to hold. A smirk formed at the thought of Aphrodite and so, Ares decided he would return for one last night, this night was for him to visit his beloved Goddess of love and try to get her to follow him. However, when he arrived on Olympus, it seemed empty, so he moved swiftly, he just had to find out whether or not his room was still intact.

Once he had stood before the entrance to his quarters, he placed a hand upon the door and with slight force, he pushed it open. Within moments, Ares stepped inside his humble abode. All over the walls were the heads of his victims, a smile formed as he could see that the other gods never touched his room, and the god of war noticed that someone had been coming into this place everyday and knelt in front of his statue, this caused Ares to smile as he let his feet pad against the marble floor and once he reached the place that he had missed next to Aphrodite, he turned, bent his knees and sat upon his throne, and realized that it was as comfortable as ever. Then he heard a noise and said "Who's there?" He paused as he unsheathed his twin katana and stood upon his feet as he added "Show yourself."

aarya knew olympus was too big. so after her first visit to her father she decided to explore. not being able to see it all in one day she decided to come back another day. looking into the different rooms and smiled at the extravagance of them all. she had reached the room of ares and sighed. her father had told her that he had disappeared from olympus. being the god of war she didn't know what to expect in his room.

the various heads creeped her out a little bit. of course she wanted to pay tribute to him so she bowed in front of his statue. she looked about at his different things in his room. however she soon heard a sound behind her. aarya ran behind some fabric he had in his room. she put her hand over her mouth to calm down her breathing. she went to sit down and wait for him to leave. there must have been something behind her because she made a noise.

when ares spoke she started to panic. when he said show yourself, aarya figured he would show mercy if she had been up front. coming out from behind the fabric she kept her head down. aarya gave him a small bow before speaking. "i'm sorry ares! i was just exploring." she said hoping he wouldnt' hurt her. aarya was shaking a little bit from fear.

Ares glanced upon the form of the one who had made the noise, he could tell that she was not from around here, he knew that this girl was a demi-goddess and he asked "What the hell are you doing in here?" He scoffed as he waited for her answer, anger showed in his eyes as he expected to see his beloved Aphrodite, but he knew that this demi-goddess was just a kid, well of course, she was a just a kid in his eyes, the eyes of this great god glared upon her form, he was not in the mood for these children who thought they could do as they pleased.

He listened to her words carefully and intently, his eyes closed for a moment as he blinked, his thoughts hammered at his skull as he continued to concentrate on what he would do with such a fine looking demi-goddess. However, the only punishment he could think of, was death. The thought of killing the daughter of one of the other gods was soon shook from his mind as he knew that no matter what this demi-goddess did, if he killed her, he'd spend the rest of eternity within Tartarus alongside the Titans.

Ares let himself smile as he calmed himself down enough to remove his glare as he scanned her form, his eyes held a slight compassion as he thought about the one who knelt in front of his statue everyday and so he asked "Do you know who knelt in front of my statue, everyday since I have been gone?" The words which Ares spoke held anger within them as Ares was still slightly angered by the fact that this half mortal would trespass in his quarters while he was away.

The other reason he was angered was the simple fact he began to feel that this was the one who knelt in front of his statue everyday and not Aphrodite, Ares' eyes lowered their gaze to the floor as he felt a sadness overwhelm his heart but his warrior's demeanor hid his sadness well and soon, Ares was able to shake off his depressive state and cheered up a bit, the god of war returned to his stoic self. Once he was within his stoic demeanor once more, he asked "What am I to do with you, hm?" Ares wondered what her answer would be and then he said "I know, how about I give you something to remember me by, hm? Like a nice deep cut which will scar up. What do you say, my dear?" As he spoke each word, he slide the flat of the blade of one of his katana over her face.

[AARYA LYNNE ALEXANDER]

aarya coward when ares spoke. she was honestly afraid for her life. she looked up at him for only a second before looking back down. her dress shook a little bit a she did. she smoothed it down a little bit as he questioned her about the statue. "no sir." aarya said quietly. she was almost afraid to speak above a whisper for fear he would be angry with her.

"i did when i first entered." she said. aarya's eyes started to tear up when he spoke of cutting her. the cold blade on her cheek made a tear spill out. she just kept thinking to herself that she was going to die. she quivered under his presence of him being so close. "i understand. i shouldn't have been in here." she started moving her hair from her face so he could make the cut. more tears come from her eyes as she spoke.

"but please don't cut me." aarya added. "i'll do anything you want." she said looking up to ares. she thought she might reason with him. "if you cut me i'll heal because of my father." aarya said. "but he'll see that i got hurt and demand to know who it was. so he would come after you." she added after. "it's not a threat! i'm just saying." aarya said after realizing how it sounded.

[ARES]

Ares sighed as he listened to her words, she was a fool to believe that he father would try anything against Ares and win, like yes of course, Apollo was the greek sun god but he had nothing on Ares, if Ares wanted to, he could end the life of Apollo in seconds. However, Ares did like his brother, Apollo, he just did not care for the other gods, except of course, his beloved Aphrodite, the only thing which he liked about Apollo was the fact that Apollo was the reason that there was day time and night time, without him, the land would fall to darkness.

Ares pulled his arm back, the tip of his sword was an inch from Aarya's face and then with a swift movement, he held the sharp tip softly against the flesh of the demi-goddess and said "If I do not do this, everyone will think they can get away with trespassing in my room." The god of war paused as he flicked his wrist, with the flick of his wrist, the blade of his sword moved back slightly and he brought it heavily toward her, the strength behind the strike was only enough to tear open some flesh but too weak to cause fatal damage if it hit its target.

If this strike was to miss, Ares would find himself in a vulnerable position, however, being the god of war, he would be able to defend himself from the vulnerable position as well and due to all of the skills he has and created, Ares knows exactly what vulnerable states he could wind up in from missing a move like this. Although, there could be a good chance that when he misses this move, it could grant this girl a moment to escape before Ares shall be able to strike once again.

[AARYA LYNNE ALEXANDER]

aarya watched as ares moved back so the tip of the sword to her cheek. tears flowed freely from her eyes now. she was so afraid that he would kill her. as he spoke, her voice cracked. "i know." aarya said, with a cracked voice. she closed her eyes tight as she felt the blade leave her cheek. at first she though ares had changed his mind, however the sting that met her cheek was reassurance that he hadn't.

from everything going on her knees had gone weak from the emotional stress. with her hand on her cheek aarya fell to the floor. when she fell to the ground aarya gasped for air. she looked up at ares as a small yellow light came from the hand on her cheek. the cut had been somewhat deep enough that her healing will create a scar. once her cut was done healing she looked at her hand.

there was a thin layer of blood on her palm. aarya felt like she didn't have the strength to get up from the floor. then with all of the fear and shock she was feeling, aarya just sobbed. her father would soon see the scar. luckily make up could hide it somewhat. looking up to ares aarya could barely see. hopefully he wouldn't punish her anymore. however he was the god of war and torture was his specialty.

[ARES]

Ares smiled as he watched the blood pour, his tongue flicked out as he licked his lips and soon he found himself circling this demi-goddess like a hawk with its prey. The smile he held was the type of smile he held when he was due to his lust for blood, the blood lust which he held was evident within his eyes as he now stopped himself, now stood behind the kneeling victim of the war god, his smile broadened as he raised both of his swords, as he had them both unsheathed this entire time, as he spoke this time, he let them swing about like two pendulums, soon enough, the two collided and sparks flew across the room as metal hit metal. The words which were spoken were "Now, my dear, I want you to know that your punishment has just begun. Your cheek was just the start of this, now it shall be time for a message to be written into your flesh, a message that all the pathetic gods on this mountain shall be forced to read once you shed the cloth which hides your spine." The words which were spoken dripped from Ares' tongue like the venom of a hydra.

The male god let one of his blades nick her flesh, causing blood to rush from the slight wound and soon enough he had both swords digging into her flesh, both of which seemed to be controlled like pens to paper. The blood lust smile became brighter and brighter with each slice. Soon enough, Ares could make out letters in this young girl's flesh. At the moment, he spelled the words Brothers, sisters, mother and father, I, Ares the god of war, have returned for one night and all I wished to do was see the goddess of love, Aphrodite and speak with her, alone. Unfortunately I wound up... The words finished there as Ares continued to mutilation of this girl's flesh.

Soon enough he had finished the message that he wished for this girl to reveal to her father and all the other gods on this god forsaken mountain and once they saw Ares' work, there may be a chance that they either exile him or become to afraid to approach him and let him see the one he has asked for. It was a risky move on Ares' part but he did not give a shit about anyone, but himself at this time. Well of course he still cared for Aphrodite but he would dare not show that to anyone. The words which ended his message were with this damn demi-goddess trespassing within my quarters, and so for her punishment, I decided to carve this message into her back and grant her a souvenir which can not be healed and that is the scar which is upon her face. So brother, if you want to fight me because of what I have done to your daughter, you know where to find me, as for the rest of you, all I want is to see Aphrodite and if I do not see her this night, then I warn you, you'll all face the wrath of WAR.

And the god of war left his message as that and once he was finished, he stepped around to face her, face to face and he said "Now, my dear niece, I would like you to reveal this message to my brother and all of the gods on Olympus and I would like you to do so, NOW!!!" The tone of his voice boomed throughout the area as he waited for her to hurry up and show the others what he has written to them and he wondered if he would get his wish or if the pathetic gods would like to face his wrath.

[AARYA LYNNE ALEXANDER]

aarya gasped when he said her punishment had just begun. she heard him speak of carving her back. aarya turned to ares. "please no! i'll do anything!" she begged him. however the clang of his swords made her stop. he nicked her dress and if fell down to her knees. she immediately moved her arms to cover her exposed chest.

the sting from the blades made her scream out. he was writing a long message to her father and the other gods. the pain was unbareable. she wanted to pass out but who knows what he would have done if she did. fighting the black out she tried to hold on. the tears from her eyes were like niagra falls. she couldn't control her breathing anymore.

once ares was done she immediately touched of the cuts and started to heal. it spread down to the rest of the words. however she could feel the scars forming. she was once a beautiful girl now she was a scarred up mess. he was in front of her face now telling her to take the message to the gods. his voice boomed loudly, however she barely had enough energy to stand. she picked up her dress. her weak legs gave out once she stood up. laying on the floor she started to sob. "i'm sorry." she said.

The god of war smiled as he watched the girl fall over, now he knew that he had caused her enough pain to keep her from moving, which meant that he would need to show himself to all the gods and deliver the message of the flesh himself, and then as he thought how he would deliver this message and leave before anyone tried to jump him, the one who he had asked for stepped inside the room, his eyes scanned her gorgeous form and he found himself knelt before her beauty.

Ares had missed her too much and then when she asked about the girl, he scoffed and then said "Well I arrived home and caught her trespassing in my room, in here." He paused as he gathered his thoughts, the goddess of love always left him enthralled and with a blank mind, every time she was in his presence, his mind turned to mush from her sheer beauty and so this time, he had to control himself and gather his thoughts as he needed to speak with her but she asked him a question and he intended to answer her.

So he continued "Now I was going to be lenient with her since she is just a child and most likely does not know respect and was just going to give her a nice little cut on her cheek but no, she had to threaten me with her father. So I had to grant her a more intense punishment but like I said, she is still just a kid, so carving a message to you and all the other gods into her back flesh was fitting."

Ares stopped again as he had finished answering her question and a smile formed on his face as he wondered what had brought her in here and so he asked "So what has brought you here, my love? Was it her screams?" Ares laughed as he waited for his beloved's reply. However, he knew that he would need to make sure that the worm who thought she could trespass and then threaten him knew her place now.

So he stepped over to her, katana in each hand and said "You work for me now, you whore. Understood?" The voice which he spoke in boomed through out the room as he glared upon the demi-goddess' form and then he stated "And as for your father, if he wants to come after me, I'll be waiting."

[AARYA LYNNE ALEXANDER]

aarya layed on the floor starting to get better. the more her back healed the better she felt. she soon heard the door open and another females voice filled her ears. the voice had a heavenly tone to it, almost perfect. she looked up to recognize the goddess of love, aphrodite. aarya thought finally someone to help her. however, aarya listened to them speak back and forth.

when ares voice boomed down to aarya. she back ed out from under his blades. finally being back to full health aarya stood. "you really think my father will stand for that?" she said with a glare. "after all my father does control the sun," aarya started. "how can you have wars without a sun?" she added. she knew that if anything happened to her then her father would take away the sun.

"the people would not be able to feed themselves without the sun so they wouldn't be able to fight in your wars." aarya finished. she was finally standing up for herself. aarya was going to stand her ground. she backed up to the door just incase she needed to get away however. "so i do not work for you. you have your own daughter for that." aarya said. "oh and by the way, i'm not a whore. i'm still a virgin." she finished.

[POSIEDON]

Posiedon had heard the voices in the temple of Aries here on Mount Olympus. Not that it wasn't hard to hear them. He had began to move that way the instant he heard his nephews voice and as he walked the paths of Olympus he felt eyes on his back as he moved Others would soon recognize Aries voice and come to call as well but for now. He would be the first. As he neared his Nephews 'home' he pushed up against the door and opened them wide with a loud bang as he heard the shouts back and forth. The daughter of apollo lying on the ground. "What is going on here." he said loudly as he moved toward the young woman.

[ARES]

Ares laughed as he listened to what the demi-goddess had to say, the reason that he liked the sun had nothing to do with wars, as it was a time where he could feel at peace, without it, his rage would consume many a man and cause too many wars for the liking of the other gods, it would become too tragic for their liking, although, Ares would have fun but he would still miss that time where he feels at peace and so if Apollo dares to remove the sun, he would simply just be killing off all mortals, and the wars would even become fought by the other demi-gods who roamed the earth.

And so as he thought of how fun it would be for Apollo to remove the sun, he chuckled harder and then he waited for Aphrodite to finish what she was saying and stated "Without the sun, you foolish mortal, my power will become stronger as without the sun, the mortals will become foolish after awhile and fight for any source of light they can find and they will all lose their minds, which will fuel my powers." He paused for a moment as he listened to Aphrodite, a smile formed as he nodded toward her to acknowledge what she had just said.

Then Poseidon burst through the doors, Ares scoffed as he knew that his own uncle would turn on him for what he had just done, so he said "Hold on unk, I will answer your question in a minute, first I have to finish what I have to say to this little girl has she has no clue." Ares paused once again as he sighed softly and then he said "Now you mortal thing, when they all die, who do you think will become enthralled by my power? The gods? No next would be you demi-gods, and that would make me laugh as everyone of you will wind up killing each other until only one remains and then my sweet niece, the deaths of all those demi-gods will cause the gods to turn on each other and fight and while all of this happens, my powers will grow stronger and stronger throughout all the bloodshed and violence, so I doubt Apollo would want to cause all of that, now won't he?"

Once again Ares paused as he drew a breathe and then he continued "Oh and to make it all the sweeter, with the mortals all dead, who will fuel the powers of the gods? Since all of them depend on them for their powers to prosper, as when there is a lack of faith, the gods lose their precious powers, I used be as pathetic as that until I left Olympus and found that my powers are fueled by bloodshed, violence and wars." Ares stopped talking to the demi-goddess and turned his attention on his uncle Poseidon as he said "What has gone on and has finished, Unk is that this little worm trespassed into my temple and then threatened me with her father when it was time for her to get punished for her crime."

[AARYA LYNNE ALEXANDER]

aarya listened to ares speak and she smirked. "as soon as my father took away the sun, who do you think he would blame for it?" she asked him. "he would immediately name you and all the other gods and goddesses would come after you to stop it." aarya stated. once the doors opened, she looked to posiedon and felt relief. aarya stood next to him and almost slightly behind him.

"i apologized and i did not threaten you!" she said. "i even said it wasn't a threat." aarya said. she took hold of posiedons arm next. she looked to ares and just glared. "and my father will heal my wounds on my cheek and back." aarya added. "he after all has more power than i do." she said with relief in her voice. aarya had already healed the tear in her dress that ares had made when he was going to carve the message.
