A stray arrow to his shoulder.
Like any other injury it stung immensely but a quick trip to Asclepius ( or Apollo even ) would fix it up good as new. He breathed through his nose and mouth in calm coordination a meditative exercise. It's all he could do while sitting in his moving chariot.
It was just a skirmish - one to settle some meddling dispute between two territories. Yet it was a battle where the Fates decided to test him.
The arrow whether from an archer gifted or just pathetically lucky was speeding towards the direction of his daughter, Spitha. Had it been uninterrupted, Ares feared that it would reach her head. Everything was swift, and all of a sudden that arrow dug right into his shoulder. His lip bit down hard to stop the scream rising from his throat.
He could have used his shield or shoved Spitha out of the way but-
That reckless abandon of a parent, that need to protect was this what it felt like?
The rest of the battle felt like a blur for him, only recalling the two of them clearing a path with their might. The victor ( or the rumor of the unstoppable Ares being struck down by a mortal yet again ) mattered little to him for some reason. Was he simply relieved that he protected her ?
He remained silent for the rest of the trip, only focusing on his breathing. He didn't want to look at anyone at the moment, he's shown enough of his weakness already.
There is one scroll in particular that stands out amongst the remaining correspondence - a message from Olympus, a simple request, fairly short, yet not any less demanding in tone. "Dearest Lord Uncle," the message begins. "Herewith I invoke my right to request meeting the valiant hound of hell in person. I trust you will understand that, following the assessment of him being a very good boy indeed, he deserves all the pets and affection he can get.”
stated with the confidence of a spoiled child, who never came to know hardships of life quite as the lord of the underworld must have in the countless years of his existence. “I shall look forward to your response." the message continues. “With kindest regards - Your great-niece, daughter of Ares and Aphrodite, descendant of Zeus, goddess of the fighting spirit, the unyielding, the last stand-”
A couple more titles and designations follow, before a fashionably extravagant signature closes the letter off: “Spitha of the House of Ares”. The request contained within the letter seemed clear enough.
UNPROMPTED. // @wargodling
The answer is curt, short, and extremely formal. It is one sent by crow, a parchment sealed with the Master’s own sigil -- what an honor, one would think. But the child would be soon to learn that the only thing Hades did, was fill in the blank, underlined spaces.
“ Your request has been recieved.
The House of Hades does not authorizes a visit to the underworld. Your demand was to come pet Cerberus, Hound of Hell. Because your demand breaches certain laws of the theritory ( the Olympians are prohibited from descending in hell ), your request has been DENIED.
House of Hades. ”

“Ugh. This again... that was a joke. We are not the same person.”

Finally, a character with good taste!
And who was this little one?
@wargodling : said: “Can I stay here?” @ Persephone maybe? ^w^
“...For a time if you must.” There a certain ill will when turning others away. Everyone needed sanctuary. Persephone had known that for a large portion of her life. A place to get away, a place to rest...somewhere away from those who thought in ways that were unable to be understood.

The witch is shocked to see where the deity chose to settle down , landing in a small yard . Honey eyes look around for something to show a 𝑮𝑶𝑫𝑳𝒀 figure lived there , but it looked NORMAL .
Kiki knocks on the wooden door , looking down at 𝐉𝐢𝐣𝐢 “ maybe I got the wrong place ? ” The door opening proves her wrong , coming face to face with the breathtaking 𝐆𝐎𝐃𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐒 . “ Hello , I’m Kiki ! Are you .. Spitha ? The Goddess of fighting spirit & the last stand ? ” Doe eyes gleam with curiosity , a big smile on rosy lips .
