Rose garden

[Boundary Challenged]

Ares chuckled. "Oops." Ares vanished the portal. "I haven't been there. So I can't get there via magic."

Elizabeth only shrugged. "I'll just find it myself." She walked with Eric on her back towards the castle gates and waved goodbye to the gods and Emiya. "Thank you for saving me Ares!"

Aphrodite had watched the scene unfold from the wind. A small smile formed on her face as she walked out of the rose bushes and up to the three. "It looks like you do have a heart after all Ares." She said her voice soft and musical.

Ares bore no expression, and bowed his head. "Aphrodite," he said, quietly, "I'm sorry..."  

[Kush n Swisha]

Aphrodite still kept the kind smile on her face, but her eyes were cold. Many didn't know of the true side of the girl other then Athena and maybe Ares. Aphrodite is said to be kind and caring like the love she gives out, but when pushed she can become sinister and vile. "Whatever could you be sorry for dear? You did nothing wrong...Atleast I don't think you did."

Ares stood silently. Had she lost her mind? How could she not remember?!  

[Kush n Swisha]

Aphrodite placed her hand on her hip and shook her head. "Don't look so dumb struck. You know I was just playing around. Why in Zeus should I forgive you? You of all people who have done nothing but kill the men that I love!"

Ares turned around, and started to walk away.  

[Kush n Swisha]

Athena made it to where she should be and looked around. Where was Elizabeth? She noticed Ares walking away and grabbed him. "Hey do you know where Elizabeth is?"  

[Boundary Challenged]

Ares nodded. "She went to the King's chambers."  

[Kush n Swisha]

Athena raised an eyebrow. "Is the child asking for a death wish? Why in the world would she be there?" That worried her greatly. What if the king was with Elizabeth? Would the girl be ok then?

Ares scratched the back of his head, though he couldn't feel his hand due to his armor."It's a long story... To make it short, Eric tried to kill Elizabeth, I saved her, Eric got knocked out, Elizabeth's taking him to his room."  

[Kush n Swisha]

Athena sighed. "What if he wakes up? I sure hope she's ok...." The goddess looked up at the castle worriedly then looked back at Ares surprised. Did he just say that he saved someone? Well that was a shocker. "Why'd you save the girl?"  

[Boundary Challenged]

Ares sighed, and looked down nervously. He was ashamed of himself, it wasn't like the God of War to save a mortal, heck, it wasn't like him to save anything. "I couldn't just stand there and watch such a greedy, foolish, king kill an innocent mortal."  

[Kush n Swisha]

Athena smiled a bit. "Well its good to know that you have somewhat of a heart. Now if only you could prove that to Aphrodite, then all you're troubles will be over." The goddess chuckled. She could have easily told him how to fix his dillema with her sister, but where was the fun in that?  

[Boundary Challenged]

Ares sighed. "I've tried..." Ares looked up at the blue, clear sky.
