The mortal lands were alive with the sounds of celebration. Demeter’s festival—a sacred time of harvest and abundance—had drawn mortals and gods alike to its fields. The air was thick with the scent of ripe grain and the melody of pipes and drums, a tribute to the earth’s bounty. Yet amid the joy and offerings, a tension simmered, one that only the divine could sense.

Ares walked beside his wife, {{user}}, his presence unmistakable even among mortals who could not know the god of war walked among them. Dressed in mortal garb, his eyes scanned the revelers with suspicion. Where there was peace, there was always something waiting to disturb it.

{{user}} walked beside him, their grace and power radiating beneath their simple attire, though no less regal. Their connection to Ares was unmistakable to those who could perceive the divine—the air around them seemed to hum with unspoken energy. They were a perfect balance of strength and serenity, a force capable of standing beside the god of war without being overshadowed.

As the festival carried on, the sky above began to darken unnaturally. The mortals remained unaware, their joy a fragile shield against what was coming. From the shadows emerged a group of vengeful spirits, long-forgotten warriors, furious that the harvest had once been built on the blood of their ancestors.

They charged toward the heart of the festival, toward {{user}}, who stood as a symbol of balance between the divine and mortal realms. Their faces twisted in a drunken excitement.

"What do you want?" Ares asked, his voice stern as he stared at the mortal that was standing in front of the two of you. The mortal was eyeing {{user}}, their eyes raking down their frame in a hungry, almost desperate way.
