"Oh, let me guess - that insufferable gob of yours? Must have been your cause of death, no?"

“It was actually the cause of Achilles saying ‘Oh Gods’ at night, but whatever suits you.”

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?

[hypnosuwu]

@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.

"ever feel like the best of you is something you’re still hoping to grow into?" || @wargodling​

Aphrodite cherished her time with her children, doing her best to make them smile... make them feel loved as they deserved. She carefully braided Spitha’s hair, taking time to interweave delicate flowers befitting her dearest daughter into her hair as Spitha’s question came.

(a hard question... it left an ache in aphrodite’s chest.)

They were gods... meant to be symbols of perfection of their designated domains. Aphrodite understood the question and she sighed around the thoughts of how Zeus had attempted to defang and declaw her. She was more than foundling love, and stolen kisses... even as mortals attempted to twist and change her image down below she held onto the vice grip and understanding that war was waged against the city of Troy over the love obsession of a woman.

“Sometimes,” she admitted quietly, deft fingers tying off her daughter’s hair before turning her to tuck a few more blossoms in her hair, “Sometimes I feel like I’ve forgotten what I already am, little golden one.” She pinches Spitha’s cheeks gently, laughing a bit.

“There’s always room to grow though, never let anyone tell you otherwise.” she insisted quietly.
