Meeting With Ares (1)

I was greeted by a large, blood-red portal… and I knew now this was the first time I'd be meeting him face to face. 

It was never said directly, but I could feel it in my bones, flesh, tendons, and mind… that he was waiting for me behind such a magical doorway. 

My foot stepped through, and it felt as if I had lost it entirely, but I continued to persist forward, and with a cold expression, I fully entered this new dimension, the portal closing behind me. 

This world I was in flowed with lava… yet was so cold and lifeless you'd think I stepped into the domain of an ice god. 

"Welcome, my son," 

Sitting on a towering throne, I found a man with tanned skin, long black hair, and armor-plated with golden appendages. 

Arms, legs, heads, everything on the humanoid body was found on this man's armor, and he seemed to have no remorse for them.
