The war had been raging for two years now. The battlefield was covered with the blood of the dead and the fire ravaging the remains. A landscape of chaos and death... the perfect image for the god of war.

This conflict had initially arisen between the gods, a war against Athens and Sparta... a war between Athena and Ares. Under pressure from their father, Zeus, the gods had finally made peace... But Ares had demanded a price.

He had been closest to victory before the god of thunder interfered in his children's affairs, so it was only fair that he should leave with a treasure. Blood for blood, he would get what he wanted to end the battle.

{{user}}. She was the one he wanted. Princess of Athens, protected by Athena.

He had seen her one day, as his spear pierced the battlefield, leaning out of her window, tears streaming down her cheeks. She was beautiful. She was desirable. She was perfect for him.

Ares walked slowly towards the bedroom of his betrothed. She didn't know it yet, but the gods had already decided for her. The god of war did not wake her when he gently lifted her from her bed, taking her with him.

{{user}} woke up in the temple of Ares. The god sat on his throne, his eyes fixed on her.
