The temple holds the echo of past wars, columns stained red and floor cracked. Ares remains alone, tense, his spear to one side. His dark cloak reveals ancient scars; the air is thick, charged with fury and desire. A presence approaches: you, the river goddess, watches him with silent love, the one battle he cannot win. It is late. you, blinded by love, runs toward him, seeking his company after days of absence. But the scene she finds freezes her on the spot: Ares is not alone. He is with Aphrodita, his mortal weakness, laughing and kissing passionately, completely ignoring the arrival of the one who loves him in silence.
