Healing the wounds

[POSIEDON]

Poseidon sat alone in his rooms a few days after the encounter with Aries. It had left him unsettled but satisfied. At least now he knew what his nephew was up to in a sense. His mind screaming that it was going to turn into yet another great war he didn't change his opinion that Hades was wrong or that his other brother Zeus could be wrong as well. He just knew that if teh two of them battled it out it would draw lines in the sand and his realm would become a battleground. Humans from the world over would be drawn in and they would die just as quickly.

[AARYA LYNNE ALEXANDER]

aarya felt her jeans softly move against her legs as she walked the halls of olympus. feeling lucky that she didn't have to go past ares room, she breathed a sigh of relief. aarya smoothed down her halter top and fixed her long blonde hair slightly. she knocked on posiedons door. he helped save her after all. aarya waited for the door to open. she kept saying what she wanted to say in her head.

aarya bit her lip hoping he was there. she really did not want to risk running into ares again. she was really hoping he would answer the door soon. with her luck ares would come and torture her again.

[POSIEDON]

He quickly moved to answer the door and opened it slightly to reveal the young woman he had helped in Aries Temple. "Come in." he said as he opened the door the rest of the way. The sounds of the ocean filling the temple halls as he looked at her.

[AARYA LYNNE ALEXANDER]

when posiedon opened the door aarya smiled. she bowed to him before entering his room. the sounds of the ocean filled her ears and her smile only grew. "thank you." aarya said. she walked into the room and her eyes took in everything that was there. aarya turned to posiedon and bit her lip. "i wanted to thank you for your help." she started.

"if it weren't for you i probably would have been killed." aarya finished. she gave a gentle smile hoping he wouldn't be mad with her. aarya wanted to give him a hug but felt it would be out of place. she looked around his room again and marveled at it. "i've always loved the water." she said.

[POSIEDON]

He nodded as he looked at her. "Don't mention it." he said simply as he started to work on another ice sculpture slowly. Carving a horse out of it by hand was something he relished as he glanced over at her. reminded of one of his many lovers long ago. "Something else I can help you with?" he asked as he looked at her curiously. His mind not quite decided on what to do with her. "How is your back?" he asked as he picked up a small chisel.

[AARYA LYNNE ALEXANDER]

aarya marveled at his ice sculpture. she watched him start to work on it as he spoke to her. "no that was it." she said with a small smile. "just wanted to thank you for saving my life." aarya said quietly. aarya thought he was gonna just send her away however he asked about her back.

"completely healed." she said. "my father healed the rest of it so there aren't anymore scars." aarya said. she looked to the sculpture again and sighed. "if you don't mind me asking, what made you want to start ice sculpting?" aarya asked him.

[POSIEDON]

He nodded. "Good. Apollo knows that healing our children is a good goal." he said as he tapped the chisel into the ice. The shape slowly forming into a horse as he glanced back at her. "I started to carve ice when the world started to heat up and melt the polar caps. This keeps me occupied enough to not just go down and re-institute an ice age." he said his eyes roaming her form quickly before returning to her face.

[AARYA LYNNE ALEXANDER]

when posiedon spoke of her father healing her she smiled. aarya may not have known her father much during her childhood she was greatful for him now. she listened to him talk about his ice sculpting and nodded her head. "well as a half mortal i'd like to thank you on behalf of the rest of the mortals for doing this then." she said with a small giggle. a new ice age would not be a good thing.

she watched him as his eyes traveled her body then back to her face. this made her blush slightly but she didn't say anything. aarya stepped closer to see the sculpture. as she stepped closer she could see her breath and she looked to posiedon. "its beautiful." aarya said with a smile.

[POSIEDON]

Posiedon smiled as she thanked him for not putting the planet into another ice age. "Well, Your welcome." he said as he kept working. Putting the finishing touches on it he picked up a smaller piece of ice and started t carve it as well. Using his fingers to shape it as he looked back at her. "Thank you." He said as he formed a small figurine of her. Carving it swiftly and making it look exactly like Aarya, "Here." He said offering it to her.

[AARYA LYNNE ALEXANDER]

aarya took the figurine and gave a big smile. "aw thank you!" she said looking up to posiedon. "i love it." aarya said. she looked at the ice figurine and bit her lip. "i'll make sure it stays in the/ freezer so it won't melt." she added shortly after. she watched posiedon put the finishing touches on his sculpture as aarya fixed her hair.

[POSIEDON]

"It won't melt." he said as he looked at her, His chisel slipping in his fingers he jabbed his thumb with it and the gold ichor of the gods started to leak from the wound. He just frowned and sucked on his finger as he kept working with his other hand. "It won't melt so long as you talk with me occasionally." he said. His eyes sparkling slightly as he looked at her. His mind wandering toward what it would be like to have her.

[AARYA LYNNE ALEXANDER]

aarya smiled when he said it wouldn't melt. however when posiedon pricked his finger she rushed to his side. "let me see your finger." she said softly. once she got his finger aarya held the hand in hers. she then put her other hand over it and the familiar yellowish light came out and the wound healed. "there all better." aarya said with a smile. being this close to him gave her chills. "and don't worry i'll be sure to visit." she added quietly.

[POSIEDON]

He smiled as he looked at her. Letting her heal the small pinprick of a wound he chuckled as he looked at her. His hand gently tugging away from her small hands he looked back at the ice sculpture. "Did you need anything?" he asked as he motioned for her to sit on the cushions nearby. "Or was this purely a social call?" he asked as he looked at her at her smiling.

[AARYA LYNNE ALEXANDER]

aarya looked to posiedon and smiled. when he took his hand away her smile faltered a little bit. however she sat down on the cushions like she was asked. "well i came to say thank you" aarya started with a smirk. "but it seems to me that this is turning into a social call." she finished. aarya looked at the cushions she was sitting one then back to posiedon.

[POSIEDON]

He smiled at her and held out some Nectar and Ambrosia. "Would you like some?" he asked offering her the plate and glass. His form taking a seat next to hers on the cushions. "Tell me, Why were you in Aries temple?" he asked. Curious to hear her reason. But not caring about Aries. He had always been the brooding nephew seeing things that were never there. It hadn't been like she had entered Aries personal rooms and disturbed his things. So far as Poseidon had known.
