[IC] War, Underworld and The Girls

[BeautifulSnow]

Gwendoline walked trough town, she just finished a new training session with her Sensei and now she was on her way home. She had been training a little longer but that didn't matter, her foster parents knew she was fanatic and always saved her some dinner. She was listening to some music and dancing on the beat of it. Next to fighting she also danced and always combined both because it didn't just make it look graceful when she punched someone on his belly, it also gave her a advantage on her opponent. Twenty-one years old she was now and next to her MMA training on wednesday and friday and dance practice on saturday and sometimes also on monday, she worked in a little store from a young but wonderful Fashion designer.

Alexandra was at home, she just had finished her dinner and sat down at the long table in her atelier. She was busy making some new items for the store. Mostly she used old clothes to make new stuff from it and that was exactly what she was doing right now. Cutting off the legs from old used jeans that she couldn't use for redesigning and making shoulder bags from the upper part of the jeans. The fabric she didn't use went to a special box. The girl that she hired, a old friend of hers, liked to sort the box out and mostly came with wonderful idea's. Alex always did the sewing and together they did the thinking. She looked at the picture of Hades and smiled.

Ares was always around his eyes glowing deep blood red color as he walked through the world. he had sunlasses on as he hummed gently a tune on his mind that he liked and then grinning he walked into some store and sighed gently orderin some pop rocks and walking out slowly as he kept walking not really looking at the world, the stupid world of mortals was dull and nothing really beat him at his own fights. he hummed again as he passed by a bickering couple and blew slightly and the couple turned into a full out fist bral and he chuckled and watched amused.

Hades barely left the underworld he had left it today as he needed to get something nice for Persephone for her birthday as he hurried around slightly and came to the small city and sighed tiredly. he gave a angry groan and walked around trying to find a place to buy her a nice outfit or something. He grumbled gently as nothing was open so he sighed and went to a restaerunt and got himself some food and got himself a cup of coffee as well his black hair ran down his back as his deep blue and red like eyes flashing. He looked a whole lot like Hades from the picture but he sat there and thinks.

Gwendoline walked by the couple and frowned, she knew them but never had seen them in such a huge fight. She couldn't help it but walk to them and lay a hand on both shoulders. ''Daisy... James... What is going on?'' she asked. Even though they sure where still angry as the hell was warm, they looked at her and both told what happened, as they almost got into a new fight Gwen placed Daisy on a bench and James next to her. ''There'' she said as she squatted down and laid her hands on their knees. ''No psychical height between the two of you.. you are such a great couple, placed by each other by Aphrodite herself and she is busy enough so couples like you are very special'' she said. Daisy smiled again a little, she wasn't the type of girl to fight at all. James just looked away, he was harder to convince this was not necessary. Gwen looked at James and James now looked back at her. ''Go mind your own business'' he said and Gwen just felt she had no choice but to leave them alone. ''I'll...'' she said and stood straight again, this time with a less nice look on her face. ''But I promise you that I'll get you if you hurt Daisy'' she said. She then gave Daisy a hug and walked off.

Daisy was just like Gwen and they had both shared their foster parents and even though Daisy and Gwen had not much contact after Daisy had left, Gwen and she always gave each other a hug and chatted some when they saw each other in the city. Gwen was close to home where she would drop of her sport bag and then go to her fosters house, when she walked into the alley and got bumped against by a big man. ''Look out bitch'' he said, Gwen looked at him. ''You bumped into me'' she calmly said but more wasn't needed to receive a fist in her face or, so thought the owner of the fist but Gwen was to fast for him. They started to fight and his friends helped him.

Alexandra decided to go for a cup of coffee and got her coat, she walked off to the restaurant where she always grabbed her evening drink and smiled at the waitress who knew what she wanted. Alex went to her favorite place but saw someone sitting on it already, she smiled at the man with black hair that looked exactly like the picture she had of Hades and somehow she did feel a little weird. She sat down at a table across him and when the waitress putted down her chocolate-cappuccino she smiled at Alex. ''How is the store?'' she asked. ''Very well, I was busy making some new items'' she said with a smile. ''Are you still open in the evenings too?'' she asked. ''yes, for the evening shoppers I am still open, only not when I am here of course'' Alexandra said. ''Good good, I am finishing my shift in fifteen minutes, I am gonna come by after checking out and grabbing my stuff.. I really wanna try that white evening gown you made with the blue lace'' the girl said. ''You are free to come by'' Alex said and then drank from her chocolate-cappuccino.

[IronFrost]

Ares scowled hearing the girl break the fight and cackled gently at the guy was still in the mood to fight and walked out and fallowed after her his sunglasses shined gently. He laughed gently seeing her get into a fight with ten guys, oh what a silly female mortal. The guys had weapons as the god of are could see brighter than day. he smiled as he walked toward them whistling a small tune as he grabbed the leader by the face sharply and tossed him away sharply. he then grabbed the other guy and flipped him into a dumpster and kicked the other in the chest sharply sending the guy flying. he laughed dodging every blow nothing landing on him and attacked the rest sendimg all around and they scattered sharply in fear. his gracefulness and attacks were not possible for a human .

"Stupid guys" he said and looked at the bloody female and looked at her and sighed gently "don't you know better then to fight with guys?" he asked confused as he picked up the bloody female and walked her out and toward a healing center, or better known as a hospital.

Hades was not really listening to the mortal till he hears her words about making things and sighed gently as he looked down at his coffee sharply. Inside the coffee was thanantos appeared from the underworld a mirror and he told him to look after the underworld . "Thanks bud" he mutters and the picure vanished and then drank the rest of the coffee slowly and then looked at the mortal confused. What mortal made things for a liking and he sighed gently and shook his head. "I could hear you make things miss" he said slowy his voice was low and rough slightly.

[BeautifulSnow]

''They...'' Gwendoline said but spewed out some blood. ''auw..'' she muttered and sighed. ''I know the leader...'' she said but is wasn't easy to talk. ''He is mostly using knifes..'' she said and breathed with pain, she sure had a rib broken or something. ''The.. coward..'' she said and looked at the man. ''T.. Thank you'' she said and nurses directly got a wheelchair and a neck brace for her Gwendoline as they walked in. ''Gwendoline!'' a female nurse said shocked, it was her foster mom. ''H-hey mom..'' Gwen said with a smile. ''Just a scratch.. give me a plaster and I'll go home'' Gwen said. ''No way young lady.. What happened?'' she asked. ''I helped Daisy and James..'' she said. ''Did James do this?'' her mother asked. ''No.. he has... chicken-power..'' Gwen said and closed her eyes. ''No no no, stay with me Gwendoline'' the nurse said. ''It was... that Lucas'' Gwen said, she was dizzy and didn't see very clearly. ''That man helped me... he is strong'' she said and pointed to Ares. Her mother looked up. ''Thank you for saving my daughter... Did they hurt you?'' she asked as Gwendoline was taken to a doctor.

Alexandra looked at the man and smiled kindly. ''Yes I do.. I use old clothes to make new things.. Are you in a search for something special?'' she asked with a smile as she took a few other sips from her coffee. It did feel like she was talking to the picture in her atelier and it was pretty weird but she didn't mind, if he wanted to buy something from her for his girlfriend than she wouldn't tell him no.

[IronFrost]

Ares snorted amused at how mortal freaked out so much about few scratches and wounds on the poor girl and sighed gently "No I am fine do not need to worry about me" said as he turned and started to walk away slowly as he hummed that small tune once more grinning gently about the idea of the greek god and how some mortal still thoght the gods didn't exsist and how people liked to fight. It was his time t shine in wars, fights and things that caused probles and smiled to himself as he walked out of the hospital and down the rode and smirks seeing Hades and smirks walked in slowly "Hey Pal" he cackled and gave Hadea a noggy smirking as he looked at the mortal girl and sighe gently .

"Mister H you know better then to talk with mortals your girlfriend will greatly displeased" he snickered and walked away smirking humming happy to riun Hades life and walked through th streets smirkin and laid on a bench and humming once more.

Hades was about to respond when Ares decided to screw his life over and scowled and shoved Ares away sharply eyes cold and sighed "I need to get my girlfriend something nice for her Birthday a nice flower shirt or skirt or both" he said shrugging as he stared at his cup slowly.

[BeautifulSnow]

Gwendoline was maybe injured and for a human, pretty bad, she had seen how this man had saved her. When the doctors had given her a few stitches and the nurses had brought her to a bed she closed her eyes. ''Thank you for saving me Lord Ares'' she thought and then fell asleep. She dreamed about the fight and how she got beaten up, the nightmare she couldn't just simply loose and she didn't sleep well.

Alexandra looked at the man and was a little confused but then looked at the other man that asked for her help again and nodded. She finished her drink and then stood up, leaving the money plus a generous tip behind. ''I am going back, if you finished your drink and meal, come meet me at the store.. It's called: The Alternative Goddess.'' she said and then walked away with a smile. She went to her store and opened up for her evening shift, it wasn't that late yet and she always had a few late birthday shoppers that loved that she was still open.

[IronFrost]

The war god just smile and nodded gently Your welcome he said to her and closed his eyes relaxing sighing gently looking at them and giggled gently to himself as he listened to guys fighting among themselves and sighed inhalilg the smell of war and fightinbg all around him and grinned gently.

Hades juat nodded after three minutes he paid and smiles as he left a tip and went off to the place and walked in slowly and saw the store was stra ge and notice his picture and raised eyebrow and shook his head. he walked around and thinks and skectehed out the ide aof the flower dress he wanted her to make him.

[BeautifulSnow]

Gwendoline heard it and felt a huge pain in her head. ''You didn't come earlier because I ruined your fight between the couple... am I right?'' She thought as a 'prayer'. She was a clever girl but also very stubborn and while she knew she needed to rest, since she had a heavy concussion. She wanted answers from him, he was the god of war and she wanted to know why he had enjoyed to see her getting beaten up before he would suddenly save her. So she tried to stay awake even though everything hurt.

Alexandra looked up as she heard someone come in, she saw him looking at the picture and she smiled some. ''I am sorry Sir.. I am a true and faithful believer in the Greek Gods and he.'' she said and pointed at the picture. ''Is my favorite because he is a hard working man and doesn't think of his duty as something easy'' she said and then walked to a shelf where her dresses where hanging.

''You mentioned a slower shirt or skirt or both'' she said as she picked a few dresses she had made a few weeks ago. ''I actually just finished my flower line for the up coming summer, yet nobody did pay attention to it yet'' she said truthfully and laid the pieces down. One dress looked exactly like what he wanted as she laid down her most beautiful items she walked over the the accessories and smiled at him. ''I am not trying to sell you to much, i mean, you are free to buy what ever you want'' she said with a smile, he could see and feel that she was a hard working girl. She was just searching for something as she said ''Everything for the God of the Underworld''

[IronFrost]

Ares said nothing more, as he didnt want to to get any nore hurt then she was, he walked off back to Olymous to get himself some actual sleep which was rare a lot of times. He cocnked out happily eyes closed slightly as he was dead asleep. Ares was tired and needed sleep as he slept he just dreamed of just peaceful for once in his life where he could freaking relax and enjoy some peace and not all that chaos.

Hades just looked abd her and then down att he dresses seeing the one that matched his blinked at it confused slightly "that one is splendid" he mutters gently and froze hearing her last comment, oh shit. He looked at her confused "I'm not Hades, and even if I was I wouldn't be in the mortal realm" he mutters gently to himself looking at his fingers slightly.

[BeautifulSnow]

Gwendoline didn't want to give up but the nurse came and gave her something to sleep so she fell off and didn't dream of anything. Her body healed slowly and a little bit in the time that she was sleeping and without knowing, she would feel a little better tomorrow.

Alexandra turned around with a hairband on which she had attached some nice flowers that totally matched the dress and laid it down. ''Sir.. You just said mortal world.. It is not something people say from this world'' she said with a giggle. ''And as you said before, your girlfriend, Persephone, is soon having her birthday'' she said with a smile. ''As I also said, I am a faithful believer in the Greek gods and I happen to know what you look like.. That picture is a drawing from me Sir'' she said. ''I once was nearly death, but believe that thanks to you, Lord Thanathos send me back'' she said and her phone rang.

She walked over and picked it up. ''The Alternative Goddess, with Alexandra'' she said. ''Oh Hi miss Puppet.. Oh no.. when did that happen? hm-mh.. Okay, no no, she must rest first for a long time.. I'll be fine, tomorrow I'll come by after the shop is closed... Thank you for telling me, when she wakes up please tell her that she doesn't have to worry about her job'' she said and hummed a few more times. ''Okay, well I have a costumer here soo.. Yes, thank you! Will do... You too miss... Bye'' she said and laid the phone down with a sigh. ''She is playing with fire again'' she said and looked at Hades.

[IronFrost]

Ares was back the next morning just wandering his old streets and watchign doigs fight and sighed gently as he walked into the forest and whistled his small tune gently.

Hades sighed and rolled his eyes "Yeah well.....good i didn't think it was your tim eto die should be thankful" mutters gently looking away as he was never great with talking with peopke as he was mostly a person that talked with the dead and skeletons and something that didn't answer him back. He sighed gently "so how much do you want for the dress?"

[BeautifulSnow]

Gwendoline woke up the next day feeling a little better and just looking out the window. She sighed which was hurting badly but she needed to breath. A nurse came by with her breakfast and she smiled, she tried to eat some but couldn't just keep much in her stomach at this moment.

Alexandra smiled. ''The dress is 15 euro, the hairband you get for free and please tell her that I hope she loves it as much I enjoyed making it'' she said. ''And.. Thank you.. For saving me, I owe you my life.. If I ever can do something for you'' she said as she knew exactly about the relationship between Persephone and Hades wasn't sunshine and red roses. Persephone mostly didn't like the underworld but Alexandra just hoped the girl wouldn't stress out her most beloved god.

[IronFrost]

Hades nodded and gave her twenty eruos "keep the chabge" he said smiling slightly before taking the dresss and nodded as he was gone ina flash of shadows and he was off in the underworld and packed up the present in a box and smiled gently as he marked it for hs queen and left it near her throne and went off to make sure no demons where causing trouble.

The god of war sat in the forest and listened to nature and everything his eyes closed as he mediated and kept himself calm remebering everything each war and all thinsg that was in his domaine that he owned and had rule over. he smirks gently to himself and shook his head slightly .

[BeautifulSnow]

Alexandra smiled, putting the billet in her cash and then went to bed. The next morning she kept her shop closed as she wen to the hospital to see her best friend. At the hospital, Alex bought some flowers and chocolate and went to the room of Gwendoline. Entering the room she saw the girl stare trough the window from which you could see the forest a little bit.

''Morning Doll'' she said. ''Morning An, how was your night?'' Gwen asked. ''Nice, I sold a dress to the lord of the underworld'' she said and Gwen looked up. ''Was Hades at the shop?'' she asked and knew Alex wouldn't make jokes about that. ''Yes, he searched for a dress for Persephone'' she said with a smile. ''How did your evening go?'' she then asked. Gwen gave weak smile. ''Perfect.. I angered the god of war and ended up in a bad fight with Lucas and his gang'' she said. ''And Ares helped you?'' Alex asked. ''Yes, but I do not believe he did it because he felt sorry for me.. More to show how powerful he is or something'' she said. ''We will not expect him anytime here with flowers'' Alex said with a giggle and Gwen also had to laugh which ended in a painful cough.

-----

Persephone walked from her bedroom to her throne and saw the box and frowned for a moment, she opened it and saw the dress and the hairband and smiled some. ''What a cute dress'' she said and went back to her room to get changed again. It was a day before spring and today would be the last day in the underworld for her before she would return for six months to her mother Demeter and father Zeus. When she had put on the dress, she turned around in it and smiled, putting the hairband in her hair and then she walked back to her throne as she looked for Hades.

[IronFrost]

The war god hummed gently to himsekf as he started to sing an old tune that he had learned when he was a child.

"On the mountain hills grew

The warruor shout erupt

War, Factious rule, blood devine

Taking the world as it was blind

The steed of that proud man

Hurried through the way ward sand

His shout rose loud and clear

Come ye faithful

Ares is here" he said chuckling and sang that over and over again some people could hear it some couldn't His voice was rough and sharp witted but it held a magical musical note to it as the gpd kept singing that for the next ten minutes then he smiled and let it drop and shook his head gently. He had forgotten the other part of the song, it was about aome girl and him meeting but hell why would he ever remeber that part ?

(You can make up that part of the song up. She heard it ina dream, a girl sings it)

[BeautifulSnow]

Gwendoline heard the song Ares was singing, Alexandra had left after a few minutes but Gwen didn't mind. She listened to the sounds of the song and softly spoke:

''The god of war with his one little desire. To find peace for his heart, and a heart for his love.'' she whispered, her head was hurting too much to keep saying the rest and she must be honest with herself, the dream she had long ago where this song had been sung in, was slowly fading and she didn't exactly know what it was. ''The love he meets where he didn't expect it at most, his savior she will be and her heart will be yours'' she then said and smiled.

[IronFrost]

The god hears that and jhummed gently , so the girl knew it and rolling his eyes he smirked gently as he looked at the forest ahead of him and spoke in a small song "Away he flies with the birds, away he shines tonight. Shwoing his compassion to those who can leave a life behind."

[BeautifulSnow]

''Yet he will always return to the place he loves, somewhere down the sky's above'' Gwendoline said and enjoyed this pretty much. ''Talking to you like this kinda sucks.. if your so brave to start wars and fights then also be brave enough to at least visit me once.. and please, do not bring flowers or something... those just simply die'' she thought and looked out of the window, it felt like she could see him from where she laid in the bed but at the same time she couldn't.

[IronFrost]

The god named Ares grinned gentlt as he borught flowers just to piss her off after she old him not to. he appeared in the room and grinned gently "I brought flowers as you sau not to do" he giggled slightly like a child a smirk on his face.

Hades wasn't having a good time down in the underworld as persephone had actuallt kicked him out sending him to the human world with no powers he would have to eartn the powers and his realm back. he grunted as he fell through the room of the shop and slammed into the counter and moaned in pain eyes closed "By the name of Zeus that hurt" rolled off and screamed in pain as a rib was broken
