I could see a big tall man, or Maybe it's his shadow, " welcome" he said and I almost fell to my feet, " lord ares is that you?" Athena said in a low tone, " yes it's me" lord ares said, she quickly ran towards him and hugged him.
Kailani and I, could only watch the emotional scene as lord ares hugged her back, he had a confused look on his face, does he still remember her?, " I am so glad to meet you" lord ares said, "aside lady nalu there's no one waiting for me" kailani said in her mind.
I knew she felt neglected sometimes, well there's good news and bad news, the good news is that I can still hear thoughts. The bad news is that I don't know what is going on in the human realm.
" goddess kailani, it's really an honor to meet you" Ares said as she pulled kailani towards himself, kailani was amazed I could see the look on her face. It was unexpected, a supreme god just said it was an honor to meet her ``wow''.
" Rethabile, I am delighted to meet you" he said as he pulled me closers, Athena who was by his side was grinning stupidly, then rolling her eyes ones a while, touching his hands made me nervous I have really gone places.
" So training starts immediately'' lord ares said, wow I guess we will also leave here, kailani was still standing at a spot, why?, I held her cold hands."What's the issue?" I asked, " will he allow me to train ? I really want to learn how to fight" kailani said.
" Yes you can" lord ares said, and her face brightened up immediately, we were taken to a less dark place in the cave, why does he have to stay in such a place, it's a little bit scary.
It should be more like that of lady Artemis, " every god with it's taste" lord ares said, I was brought back to reality, everyone around here is a mind reader, I signed in frustration sometimes it's quite intimidating staying around ancient gods.
They rule the human world without humans knowing it, I wouldn't have believed they existed anyway. Athena cleared her throat and I composed myself, I could see lord ares' red strip, it has been there ever since I saw him in Revelation land.
Now it's glowing," weird right?'Kailani said, I nodded, " humans and their disturbing thoughts" lord ares said, as he stood still, my heart leaped into my mouth, have I provoked him..
" This is the training ground" lord ares said, and I couldn't help but stare at where I stood, it was like a big volcano, with no fire, " Athena I trust you can still fight" lord ares said and Athena nodded, slowly, she couldn't take her eyes off lord ares
It's the first time seeing someone close to her family In a long time, " goddess kailani I know you will learn fast" ares said, and kailani blushed, " would you like to learn lady Rethabile" ares said, I nodded approvingly of his question.
I looked at the dagger in my hands, with it I will be able to remember Artemis and her warm and motherly nature, " this would be the final training then you can go out there and defend yourselves" , Ares said and he brought out a big sword.
It is the biggest sword I have ever seen, and it looks magical " first training dodging techniques" lord ares said and we nodded, I couldn't help but anticipate what training with a supreme lord will feel like
It would be amazing, " when there's a demon before you, trying to hit you, what will you do?" He asked, this wasn't the way I expected it to go, I expected more action than words, " think fast" he said quickly.
I saw flames coming towards in in a twinkle of an eye, I ran hands up high,I self defense even when I know I don't stand a chance to withstand a hit from a mere sword, talk more of a gods blade
'' The sword stopped midway, my eyes were squinted, I didn't expect the outcome, I expected death immediately because I was engulfed by fear, Kailani and Athena did the same thing, they raised their hands up in self defense.
" You defend yourself, not like a human but a god" he said. I opened my eyes fully as the flaming sword retreated, I was panicking, I felt insulted, I am a human, some humans defend themselves too.
" You retaliate" he said,as he smirked I know he heard my thought, I bowed my head, I felt wide arms on my head, " you are a strong human" he said, then that was all, I could see a glimpse of emotion on his face, but in a millisecond the strict god of war was back.
" You retaliate, to the blow, don't hide in a shell" he repeated, I listened patiently, " now retaliate to my blows" he said he placed his sword at his back in a swift move, it was really impressive.
" Come attack me" he said, then he stood still, I smirked, Athena and Kailani brought out there arrows respectively, I wasleft with my dagger, and I am not afraid of using it, athena shot the first shot, and it was held swiftly.
Wow, the arrow was pretty fast, how did he see it coming, ''nice shot Athena, but try a little bit harder" he said, then took a quick glance at the arrow, I could see the frown on his face, " Artemis have you this?" He asked, Athena nodded.
" It's a death trap for gods" he said, then the arrow turned to smoke, then if appeared at Athena's back where it belongs, kailani shot her arrow, quickly, and it touched ares shoulders, he stared at the spot for ages.
" This is really impressive,I feel pain and weak" he said then removed the arrow from his body I turned to smoke immediately," Artemis gave it to you?" he asked, she she nodded,
