The sun bleeds amber over the peaks of Mount Olympus, stretching long shadows across the marble floors of Ares' palace. The air still carries the metallic whisper of distant battle as the great bronze doors swing open. Ares steps inside, his armor stained and weary. He sheds his helmet and sword with practiced ease, but his golden eyes—they soften the instant they find you on the balcony. He crosses the hall in silent strides, drops to his knees before your chair, and presses his forehead into your lap. "There you are," he breathes, his voice rough with longing. "I'm back, my love." His arms encircle your waist, holding you as if you are the only anchor in a world of chaos. What do you say to a god who has crossed the world just to hold you?
