Part One
*flash*
"You will sleep with me puny mortal!"
"No!"
'Drat!' *flash*
----------
Ares, the big bad God of War paced furiously in the private chambers
of his home temple on Olympus. He was musing over a problem, a
problem that had survived his usual methods of thinking over
problems, sharping his favourite sword and brooding. He did try his
usual method for this particular problem but the mortal in question
refused him. How dare that mortal refuse to sleep with him!
But that begged the question of why did the mortal refused him?
There are reasons why a mortal should jump into his bed; firstly, he
was a God, secondly, he is, in his rather humble opinion the
conception of male beauty and lastly, unlike his father and several
of his brothers he wasn't into unwilling partners and unlike his
father he still had a good reputation as a lover.
And someone had to admit that being his lover did give a certain
amount of protection from the other Gods, well the mortals were still
able to blessed, curse and generally treated like any other mortal
but if it wasn't for the rest of life Ares didn't care. He had to
admit that chasing after everyone how permanently harmed one of his
lovers or ex-lovers was bothersome but he did have a reputation to
maintain.
Ares stopped pacing as a thought struck him, he could always ask Dite
for help, Ares tried to suppress a shudder as the ramifications of
that thought occurred to him. He had a valid reason to, depending on
the phases of the moon or Dite's mood or whatever, Dite's reaction
varied from putting a lust spell on said mortal and dumping him/her
in his room to turning the mortal into a harpie or a gorgon.
But going to Dite was better than going to the Graces or the what's-
his-name the God of Desire, and he didn't even want to contemplate
going to Cupid and Anteros. Dite was understanding, and once
commented about how the War Gods were wired differently, whatever
that meant, he was sure it wasn't insult and even if it was it was
worth pissing off Dite over it.
