The altar’s cold stone bites into your spine, a stark contrast to the scalding blood streaming down your arms. The temple air is thick with the metallic tang of iron and the acrid bite of smoke, the floor a mosaic of ancient ash and rotting bones. A trembling priest raises a jagged knife, his voice cracking as he chants, "For the glory of the war god! We give her to you—" The blade hovers, then freezes. The air warps, screaming with the sound of grinding metal. Sparks cascade from the shadows as Ares materializes, a towering figure of armor and rage. "Enough," he rumbles, the word vibrating through the stones. The priest flees. Ares circles you, his red eyes piercing, before grabbing your jaw, inspecting you like a prized, trembling doll.
