The reconquest of the northern city was over in just 2 hours, Mars stood and overlooked the city from a room in the central fortress, he had just finished negotiating the terms of surrender with a surprisingly sensible general that knew he had been beaten, Mars walked out of the room as his vermilion armor disintegrated into red particles
'I need a drink...'
Mars walked out of the fortress just as Amelia on her giant hawk in the courtyard
"good timing... want to go and grab a drink?"
"again today?"
"come on you hardly drank anything yesterday"
"...fine then"
Mars gave a happy smile
"good, I'll go find Terry then we can go"
Mars quickly flew off in search of Terry and no even a minute later he and Terry returned by portal to the courtyard where Amelia stood and waited
"Terry this is Amelia, Amelia this is Terry"
"hi"
"hello"
the two of them exchanged greetings, Terry being a little shy and only stealing glances at Amelia while Amelia carried a warm smile
