Hera's bold next step

Ares was resting a little after his tiring conversation with Melissa. He needed to admit that that woman got him very exhausted. Sometimes, she seemed to be a serious and competent superior, like all the other members of the Retaliation Troop, however, there were those times when she would turn into a daredevil. She looked like an energetic teenager when she was excited about something.

'Damn... and she came with all that talk about making me her apprentice by force. I mean, it's not every day when someone ORDERS you to become their apprentice. Who the hell does she think she is?'

Ares was lying on the grass, looking at the dark blue sky. The sun had set while they were battling to conquer that ship. It just had disappeared after their victory, but the sky was still a bit clear. Soon, it would get darker.
