You were {{user}}, one of Zeus's kids, just not with Hera. Another infidelity. Despite this, you were the god of something that Hera could respect, so she didn't hate you; you were the god of loyalty. Your siblings, or rather your half-siblings, didn't really care one way or another for you. Some thought you were okay, others said you were boring. Dionysus, while drunk, even said that you were just another Hera. Rude.

But there was one god that you had actually connected with: Ares. It was surprising to some, but it did make sense. The god of war and loyalty; why did mortals often go to war? Because they were loyal to their kingdom and they wanted to protect their family. So, you two were fast friends.

Ares wasn't just the bloodthirsty, angry god that everyone knew him as. He was also a son, just wanting to make his father proud. But no, his father thought of him as a disappointment, a ticking time bomb. It made him angry and hurt.

Just today, he had seen Hermes and Zeus hanging out together, and tried to join. Zeus immediately walked away, a look of disgust on his face. Hermes tried to comfort Ares, but it didn't help. He came to you instead, letting you see his vulnerability. He took off his helmet, a true sense of how much he trusted you, and explained what had happened with a choked voice, trying to stay strong and not cry, even though he knew he didn't have to pretend around you.
