Ares's Pov:
I was baffled when the moon goddess suddenly knelt in front of me, I stared at her shocked as I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Because of the pride we gods have we don't bow to one another, a god only bows to another god when defeated in a battle. But that wasn't the case between the moon goddess and I yet she knelt, of course what she had done was like seeking my trouble but it hasn't yet to come to her kneeling to me. I stared at her quietly and confused not being able to really understand why she'd go all that far for one mortal child of hers, she can create a lot of them by putting a wolf soul into a mortal. Her relationship with them was nothing more than her being their goddess and them worshipping her, seeing her like that irritated me more as she was putting shame into her being a goddess. I glanced at her clenched fists and it was visible on her face that she hated the position she was in but yet still she pushed away her pride and ego as a goddess and stayed still on her knees
" Why would the moon goddess go that far for mortal child, aren't you ashamed of yourself?! How can you kneel to another god of your equal?! "
My voice boomed out loud as I asked her in anger, she closed her eyes and kept mute without trying to defend herself which angered me even more and I stood up from the couch in anger.
" I only came here to listen to your explanation first before taking action, but it seems it was a waste of time. How far you've fallen Selene, that mortal child wouldn't be allowed to breath anymore, know that you've forced me into this! "
I was abruptly brought to a stop on my way out when she suddenly grabbed my hand in a hurry.
" You're not allowed to lay a finger on my daughter "
" Try to stop me if you can "
I turned back and smirked as I dared her
" Pandia is my daughter and not a mortal child! I birthed her right her in these walls, she is my only daughter and I'm prepared to do anything to keep her safe. She is a goddess of the moon just like I am, Ares coincidences don't just happen. I am not the goddess of fate but I believe it was fate that brought her to you, please safe my daughter. "
I was so baffled and couldn't believe her words but they just made sense, Pandia had this air around her which screamed of a goddess but I just couldn't bring myself to just say I understood her.
" Why should I be involved in your problems, I do not know whom you want your daughter saved from and it has nothing to do with me! If you don't want me to take away her life before your enemies then you'd better unpaired us! "
My face turned cold and my eyes darkened as I said to her in a tone which was no longer pleasant, I had now gotten my answers and I had no reason to play along in this. I wasn't really interested in keeping a woman by my side and I wasn't going to start doing that as a favor for someone else and besides Pandia was still a child even if she was here in the land of the gods she'd still be considered a child.
" No! "
I harshly grabbed her neck as she said that to me, I expected her to back down but she stared straight into my eyes not backing down when she knew I could end her right there if I wanted to
" You can kill me if you want but please save my daughter, I will surrender to you and you can claim my land as your own but all I ask is for you to save my daughter from Leto. My poor child has nothing to do with my conflicts with goddess Leto, so why should she have to suffer hardship she never asked for. I know very well that this has nothing to do with you but yet still fate brought her to your temple to ask for help, please Ares I know you have no relationship with me nor my daughter and this is selfish on my part in wanting to involve you in my problems but please save my poor daughter. She has yet to live her life and she's but a child, but she's all that I've got. Have mercy on her "
Tears dripped down her eyes as she pleaded with me, she had abandoned everything that showed she was a goddess as she had completely surrendered to me. It was such a disgusting sight to me but the thought of never seeing Pandia if I refused brought fears and longing into my heart, the bond between Pandia and I had developed when I went to see her making her thoughts terrorized my mind more. I started to think what she'd think of me when she finds out that I had let her mother humiliated herself in front of me, I started to fear she'd hate me for that and it made my thoughts conflicted. A part of me wanted me to refuse but the other part of me wanted to have Pandia by my side, my desires for her made it hard to turn a blind eye and wanting to have her by my side.
I walked out of her residence back to mine without further uttering a word to her, my thoughts were all over the place as I was conflicted between accepting Pandia as my mate and rejecting her. As days went by my thoughts were still on Pandia as I couldn't bring myself to forget everything about her and live as I used to, my everything yearned for her and my not so good heart beat for her. She still continued to visit my temple and would walk over to my sculpture I used to talk to her and she start telling it all about her day and how horrible it went, it always pained me so much whenever she speaks about how she was maltreated. She hoped for me to talk to her again but I on the other hand was trying hard to cut ties with her. I sat on my throne having a meeting with some of my warriors when I started to hear little sobs, I thought I had cut off connection to my temple in the human world but she manages to get through to me. I felt her pain, her sadness, her sorrow and her anger all at once and it felt as if she shared all her emotions with me. My heart began to beat faster as I felt my rage begging to be let out, all i could think of was going down to the human world and sweeping Pandia off her feet. I was ready to annihilate everyone who made her cry,
" My Lord? ....... My Lord? ..... "
