I never said I was going with you 

Ares' axe drew a vertical bow in the air as he delivered the final blow to one of the crows. 

Corpses of those beasts were once again scattered around, all of them killed brutally.

The little girl was behind that scene, at a fair distance from where the battle was happening. She watched without blinking as those Beast Hunters slayed the crows easily and with no mercy. They were relentless and ruthless, even cruel. At times, the pain of the crows, their blood spilling around, and the agonizing caws seemed to please them. 

There was a sadistic and sharp cold terror mixed with the heroism and selflessness of those soldiers. They were different from Guardians or Knights. It was hard to consider them military, even. There was no discipline, coordination, or ethic behind their actions. Only an obsession to kill and fulfill... something.
