Chapter 6 - A Traitors Return

Name:Ares The God Of War Author:M1LKY6ZY
"Ares didn't want to fight Mystic so he put down his sword and tried to surrender but before he could Mystic attacked him. Although Ares didn't want to fight, he realized that if he didn't at least defend himself he would be much more injured than he was."

The old man paused for a second then continued, "Ares was definitely on the defensive side, while Mystic was attacking relentlessly. While I was watching the fight I saw the look Ares had on his face, it was clear to all of us watching that Ares wanted the battle to end....it was quite sad."

The other man felt bad for Ares, and the situation he was in. First, he was accused of something he might not have didn't, secondly, everybody who he had been protecting turned on him without even batting an eye, thirdly The Ruler sent thousands of his most powerful men to capture him, and lastly, to put the cherry on top, the girl he loves went out to fight him as well.

It seemed like a truly pitiful predicament. The other man also thought that Ares was stuck between a rock and a hard place, he doesn't want to fight Mystic but he also doesn't want to be captured or worse.

The old man then said "The fight had not lasted very long as Ares was already tired from all the previous fights and Mystics relentless attacks didn't help. Both of their swords were clashing at ferocious speeds, it was quite the spectacle....but like I said it didn't last long. Ares had so far done a good job at blocking the attacks Mystic was throwing at him, but unfortunately one of the attacks had gotten past his defenses and it created a nasty gash on his ċhėst. Mystic then carried Ares out of the field with a dismal face."

After processing the whole thing The other man asked, "Did Ares survive?"

"He survived." The old man said looking at the other man weirdly

"What do you mean.'' the other man said curiously

The old man paused for a moment and looked at the other man helplessly, he sighed, then he said "If you knew anything about The Gods, then you would know that every time a God dies, they would be reincarnated."

The other man began to feel embarrassed and remarkably idiotic because everyone is taught that at very early ages. When a God dies they will always reincarnate, as long as at least one human believes in them. The reason the old man said Ares isn't dead was that, if he was dead then Ares would have already been reincarnated.

Looking at the other man's confused face, the old man, almost as if he was reading the other man's mind, said "If you're wondering why Ares wasn't killed, then you may never get that answer. The only people who may know are The Ruler and Mystic, good luck trying to get that information, anyway I'm not sure how Ares survived, or why he was kept alive, all I know is Ares was sent to earth and we have to have to send our men to retrieve him."

The other man wanted to ask more however he didn't because he realized that it had gotten pretty late and the man wanted to go home. Not wanting to stick around any longer, the other man got up from his chair and began to leave, but before he left he said "You should have told me that story a long time ago, I almost hated a man I wasn't even familiar with, so thank you."

"No problem kid, now go home and get some rest, get ready to pick out your best men, because the God Of War is coming home!" The old man said with excitement.

At the present Ares was still running for life, but he knew with the pain he was experiencing now he couldn't run much more. Ares felt like he had run far enough, nevertheless, he continued running just to be safe.

As he was pushing through the excruciating pain, he suddenly became really weak and didn't know what was going on. Ares had fallen to the ground, still confused about the whole situation. As he was laying on the ground, looking up at the sky, a big burly man with shiny gold armor came within his peripheral vision.

Once again Ares immediately recognized that this man was a Heavenly Guards. He wanted to escape, but unfortunately the pain he was experiencing rendered him in a paralyzed state. Moments after the burly guy came more Heavenly Guards came and surrounded the Areas. One of the men picked up Ares and placed him on one of his shoulders.

Although Ares could not move, he could still speak, so he tried to ask them some questions. "What do you want for'' before he could finish his sentence, one of the Heavenly Guards hit Areas in the back of his head, knocking him out.

The Heavenly Guards continued to walk holding Ares when they suddenly disappeared into thin air.

Feeling drowsy, Ares was slowly opening his eyes. He scanned the surroundings and found himself in an unfamiliar location. He also noticed that he was on an unnaturally large bed. Ares got up from the large bed and surveyed the area once more. Similar to the bed, the room was also exceptionally large, he also noticed that the room had many luxurious items, Ares thought this was strange because he never owned anything like this before.

The room wasn't illuminated very well so Ares looked for a light switch. After looking around the room he couldn't find one, but he noticed that there was a closed curtain in the corner. Ares walked up to it and decided that this was the best way to get some light in the room.

Ares opened the curtain slowly, not wanting to hurt his eyes from opening it too quickly. The whole time Ares had been wondering how he got here, what was going on, and where he was...but as soon as the curtain opened, Ares became baffled at what he was seeing.

"NO WAY!" Ares was shaking uncontrollably, "How did I get here!" Ares was in a state of shock, he was in a place he never thought he'd see again...he was in heaven.

Ares didn't know why or how he got here, but he did know he wanted to leave. He tried to remember what happened before, "I was fighting a demon...then some Heavenly Guards appeared...I ran away, but they caught up with me...what happened after that?"

As Ares was trying to wrap his head around the entire situation, he heard a door opening.

He saw 5 men walk into the room, they all had shiny gold armor, Ares figured that they were Heavenly Guards. He was about to ask the men some questions when one of the men spoke.

"Hurry up and get ready.. The Ruler wants to see you."
