Antheia

I slowly reached my hand out to shake hers. "My name is Antheia.". She chuckled, "I already knew that".

"If you don't mind me asking, how? And why would you be my ally?", I reluctantly asked. "Poor child, you truly don't know what's coming for you, do you? Don't worry I will show you.", she said putting the crystal I was wearing between my both eyes.

A bright flash blinded me as I felt my soul being sucked out of my living body. I slowly opened my eyes as I stared into the field. Nothing seemed wrong at first but as I walked further up the hill I saw something that made me scream so loud that I fell on both my knees. I saw a field of dead people and animals all over the ground. Everything and everyone was dead. Some people were still alive but they couldn't be saved. All they could do was whimper in pain. I kneeled down next to a mother and child as the mother held her dead child. "Please don't let her die", she pleaded. "I'm so sorry", I said as I tried to make them as comfortable.

The mother whimpered as she let out her last breath. I looked at them as fear filled my body as the thought of my mom came to my mind. I ran so fast back home just to see that there was nothing left but ashes. "Mom! Mom", I screamed through my tears. Drops kept falling down my cheek as there was no sign of her. "MOMMM!!", I screamed. That's when I heard a small whimper coming from the now destroyed garden. I ran with all my strength as I saw her body laying on the ground. Blood covered her face as I saw that her limbs were totally crushed. "Mom", I said inching my face closer to hers. "Antheia, I am glad that your safe. I don't have much time left but thank you for being the most amazing daughter anyone could wish for. I love you", she slowly whimpered before she took her last breath.

"Mom please, please don't go", I sobbed as I held her body close. I felt my body being sucked again as I desperately tried to keep a hold of her body. My vision went dark before I could see Nyx again. "Nooooo!!", I screamed still stuck on the thought that my mother died.

"It isn't real Antheia but it will be if they succeed.", she said. "Well I guess that we will have to start now", I said as I reached my hand out whipping of my tears with one mission. She smirked before shaking my hand. "I can't wait to start", she said before walking away out of the cave. I stayed behind in my thoughts, if Ares really participate in this all I need to find a way to get close to him.

That's when I remembered the quote my mom always used to say when I always used to try to persuade her that men aren't that bad.

" A man is easy to manipulate by others, because a man biggest weakness is pride."

I smirked as the answer to my problems came to mind.

Ares

I couldn't dismiss the feelings of being watched by someone. As everyone left I quietly stayed behind and scanned all over the place. But I couldn't spot anything. "I guess it really was my imagination", I said to myself before walking away. Now I needed to return to search for Antheia. I can't understand how she could possibly vanish from the room without any trace.

I walked around to bump just into Eris. We both stood there in silence as we looked at each other. I slowly started to reminisce about the old time when she approached me. "Well Ares, it's nice seeing you again", she smirked stepping closer to me. "Nice seeing you again too", I said kissing her hand. She smiled as we stood there looking at each other awkwardly. I didn't know what to say as she grabbed my hand, "Let's catch up somewhere more private."

I nodded knowing what she meant by that. I followed her lead as we approached my room. Searching for Antheia completely left my mind as she slowly closed the door behind her. I stood there watching her walk closer to me. She hasn't change over the years, her skin was just as pale as when I last saw her. Her hair seemed longer than I could remember as it now reached below her buttons. She looked at me with flirtatious eyes before stopping inches from my face. "The underworld has been doing you good.", I said feeling her body pressed against mine. My body heat started to build up as flashbacks from our past affair came into my mind. Just as our lips were about to touch the door slightly opened revealing Antheia looking in. Shocked Eris tried to get a glimpse of who opened the door but I pulled her in for a kiss. Antheia's eyes widened as she saw us before quickly shutting the door.

"What was that- ", Eris said smirkingly but before I could fully let her finish I walked out of the door into the hallway.

Antheia

As I roamed around the halls I stopped to see Ares enter the room with a tall but dangerous looking goddess Eris. I could recognize because of the ink that showed on her arm. Eris was the goddess of despair and division. She's known for her horrible urge for problems. Some people in my village will sacrifice animals or even children hoping that she will put bad luck on those they dislike.

I always been aware of her sign, and tried to avoid it. So seeing her just shoot shivers down my spine. I took a deep breath as I slowly walked closer to the room they entered. I lightly pressed my ears against the large door trying to get something out of their conversation when I didn't realize I put my hand on the handle. The door slowly opened revealing Ares standing there with Eris inches from his face. My eyes widened as realization hit me that they could both see me, I slowly tried to close the door but it was already to late because Ares saw me.

"Antheia, you are getting yourself killed", I silently said to myself as I quickly started to walk away. I was about to turn the corner when I felt a strong hand wrap around my wrist.

"Don't you dare to run away now"
