" Turn right here ... right , I said right !"- Athena 

" I AM ! Well, darling , it's my right !"- Ares shouted 

Ares gritted his teeth and tugged har on the reins , eliciting a chorus of whinnying protest from the horses , as the cahriot banked sharply to avoid the mountain peak that came hurtling out of the air towards them . 

Beside him , Athena stumbled and regained her balance , clearly unimpressed by his irresponsible driving , as she folded her arms and rolled her eyes , at him . 

" You know , we wouldn't have had to go through this entire manefield of mountains if you'd just taken the turn at Thebes like I told you to Ares , and don't call me darling , it's sickening ."- Athena said pressing her lips into a thin , tight line 

" My dear  Athena , I'll take whichever turn I damn well please ."- Ares turned to her , dark eyes glinting with mockery 

" Don't call me that either you oaf , and fro Zeus's sake , since ou insist on driving at least keep your on the ... MIND THAT MOUNTAIN !"- Athena 

Her arm flew up to point before them , but it was too late . A huge jlt rattled the chariot and sent it swerving wildly to the side . The whole world seemed to tilt for a split second . Ares bellowed curses as he almost topples overboaard , the chariot making an awful scraping sound that grated the air . 

Athenashot a cursory glance backwards , her face stony set at disapproval , as the chariot righted itself and continued to tear along . 

" By the way ... that was the summit of Kitharón you just knocked off ."- She announced flatly 

" You know what !?! If you think you're so high and mighty , why don't you drive this shitty chariot !?! "- Ares' temper was , on the brink of eruption and it flared in a  instant 

" Mhm . That is the single most reasonable thing I have ever heard you say , Ares . I think I will . In fact , it should have been so right from the beginning . Hand me the reins ."- Athena 

"What ? No! This is my bloddy chariot !"- Ares 

" And of course there you go again , being completely irresponsible , while I ..."- Athena 

" Just shut it an let me drive , you harpy woman !"- Ares roared , ducking to avoid a large tree branch that had splintered off and was flying towards his head 

Athena's knuckles whitened as she gripped the side of the chariot with one hand, the other snatching in vainfor the reins trapped in god's strong fists . The speeding chariot swerved once more , careening through the sky like a runaway comet , blazing a trail od shredded leaves and twings in it's wake . 

Ares had skimmed off the upper canopy of the most  of the forest they were now passing over . In fact , reflected the Godess of Wisdom somewhat mournfully , the entire morning had been just one long and turbulent chariot ride to hell .
