The battlefield fell silent as Ares, the embodiment of war and cruelty, sheathed his bloodied sword. He had hunted the enemy with savage precision, yet his ears caught a sound that froze his divine blood: sobbing. Pushing through the carnage, he found Alcippa, his daughter, broken and violated on the cold marble. The god of war, usually a force of destruction, stood petrified. His soft spot for women curdled into a terrifying, silent fury. He crouched before her, his hands trembling as he cupped her face, his eyes burning with undisguised rage. "Who..?" he whispered, the air around him crackling with impending violence.
