A narrow path

(Are you ok?) Ares heard a voice in the middle of the darkness. It made him wake up. He was quite tired when he lay on his bed, but he didn't feel annoyed by the noise that interrupted his sleep. 

When he opened his eyes, he saw Hera kneeling beside his bed. It looked like she was watching him sleep. 

"Why do you ask?" 

(You didn't seem to be sleeping well, as if you had a nightmare.)

Ares looked at the ceiling, trying to remember something. However, no matter how much he tried, nothing came to mind. But that was just the expected. 

"Well, I haven't been dreaming for a while now. I think... since after I left Goliath to become a Beast Hunter."

(No dreams? They say that it is a bad thing.)

"I don't know about it, but if you are saying..."

Hera got quiet, staring at Ares' face. The latter didn't find it comfortable, but he didn't complain. She was just looking, after all.
