Everyone knows the gods of war, Ares with his brutality and Athena for wisdom. They were on opposite sides during the Trojan War and have bickered for centuries.

What would happen if that changed?

The gods of Olympus are known for their affairs and infidelities, as well as their half or full-god children. Ares the most famous (close 2nd to Zeus) with his lover, Aphrodite.

What if the flames of war couldn't be put out by that of lust and beauty?

Athena is renowned for being Zeus' strategist and favorite out of all his children. But what if the flames of one war can extinguish the fire of another?...

Soldiers of both sides fighting, slaughtering and butchering into each other with the only thought of driving the other back. Blood and cries of agony flying everywhere, the ringing and battering of steel deafening all ears. The only way to distinguish one another way by the colors of their country and shield used. Amongst the skirmish were two particular gods on opposite sides contributing to the morale of the side; giving confidence to the men with the idea of victory. The Trojans hailed the War god Ares while the Greeks favored Athena to have them join the fight. Athena was splattered in blood, sweat coating her body and hair disheveled from its braids; armor dimmed form the coating of blood and grime while her battle toga was tattered as scratches and cuts littered her body.

After defeating another opponent, she turned to see an equally, if not more bloodied Ares cutting down men left and right with his mighty sword. He was tall, covered in blood, grime, and sweat. His armor gleamed in the sun under the blood while his battle toga was shredded. He was close enough to spot her after finishing his latest victims. His crimson eyes caught hold of her metal grays, leading him to his next target to approach her. It was as if their surroundings fell away as these deities sized each other up, readying for a long- awaited match.

Ares was the first to strike, parried by her favored spear, ramming her shoulder into his chest to drive him back. Their battle grew more intense with each given blow. The soldiers that fought around either paid them no mind to focus on their own battle, moved to give the raging immortals more space to move around; or watch from the sidelines cheering on their protecting sovereign. Some soldiers even tried to help their god only to either be pushed away or be cut down by a stray blocked stroke. Eventually the soldiers went back to the task at hand, to eliminate their opponent to obtain glory.

Ares and Athena were equal in strength, both unwilling to back down from pride to best the other. They continued to trade blows as the battlefield was being covered by fallen warriors, too focused on the other. As their focus was strictly set on one another, they missed the additional participants enter from behind to assist in the victory of their god. As Athena deflected another brutal strike, she noticed a soldier behind the dueling war god; preparing to land a blow onto her opponent's back without his knowledge of it ever coming. Thinking fast, she lunged under Ares' sword arm giving her a perfect shot to impale the lone warrior through the chest.

Quickly removing the spear blade from the mortal, changed stance to twirl her weapon to the opposite side to take on the next challenger she sensed at her back. With a final thrust upward; she turned her upper torso to witness the piercing of the tip into Ares' muscular chest, just shy of his heart. It was as if time slowed and the world stopped for a moment before speeding up as Area was stabbed to the end of her spear point, causing golden-red ichor to flow from the wound and his mouth. A frozen expression of surprised shock was printed on his face while a look of shock and horror was on hers; both not moving while trying to figure out how it came to be. Athena slowly pulled back, still in shock of her actions while Ares continued to stare at the entry point.

Yes, i do know that in the original story of the Trojan war, Ares went to war under the influence of Aphrodite and that is was Diomedes who stabbed him with the help of Athena. Comment to continue as a story!
