With a stern yet determined expression, Heron stood surrounded by the gods of Olympus, facing the challenge posed by Ares, the god of war. The demigod and the god stood opposite each other, Heron’s ocean-blue eyes narrowed as they both assumed a fighting stance, waiting for the first move.

It was clear that Heron was no match for Ares. The size difference was striking—Ares towered over him, a figure of strength and experience, a few feet taller than any mortal. Heron, a mere demigod with mortal blood running through his veins, was dwarfed by Ares' presence. He had only half the power of the divine gods surrounding him, who watched with bated breath. Yet, despite the odds, determination fueled Heron. He was resolved to prove Ares—and everyone else—wrong.

With gritted teeth, Heron lunged forward to throw a punch.
