Unleashed Wrath

A heavy silence hung in the air after Hera's death, and Ares stood before Zeus with eyes ablaze. The culmination of anger within him drove words that couldn't be uttered gently.

"Father," hissed Ares, his voice echoing through the divine realm. "What betrayal befell Mother? Why do you stand silent as her essence fades into the ether?"

Zeus, with an unwavering stance, gazed into Ares' eyes. "My child, the cosmic balance is fragile, and Hera's fate is woven into the fabric of existence. Her death pains me as well, but it is part of a grand design."

Unsatisfied with this answer, Ares decided to seek the truth in a world long neglected by the gods.

The God of War descended to Earth, slipping among humans engrossed in their own affairs. He caught the whispers of the wind and echoes of the earth, each telling a sorrowful tale of Hera's demise.

In his journey, Ares witnessed the lives and suffering of human beings. He found that pain, loss, and hatred enveloped the world, creating wounds in the hearts of humans that seemed insurmountable. The more Ares witnessed the suffering on Earth, the stronger his desire grew to find answers.

On Olympus, Zeus summoned Hercules, his steadfast and loyal son. With a heavy heart, Zeus assigned Hercules the task of following in Ares' footsteps on Earth. "Hercules, my son, you must follow Ares and ensure his journey does not bring chaos to the mortal world. He seeks answers, but we cannot allow his anger to wreak havoc."

Armed with mighty weapons and a sturdy shield, Hercules descended to Earth to watch over Ares—not just as a guardian but also as a brother trying to understand Ares' emotions.

Before Ares descended to Earth, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, attempted to calm his wrath. "Ares, my brother, listen to wise counsel. Zeus's decisions may be hard to grasp, but defying fate could lead to catastrophe."

Ares looked up, his eyes burning with dissatisfaction. "No, Athena. I will not let Mother's death be in vain. I must seek the truth."

Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths, spoke gently, "Ares, perhaps this is a trial for us all. Hera left us with a message we do not fully understand yet."

Hebe, the goddess of youth and immortality, added, "Brother, guard your heart. Do not let anger blind you to the wisdom and true truth that may be hidden."

Ilithyia, the goddess of childbirth, tried to convince, "Ares, we all feel the loss. But your struggle may bring unforeseen consequences. Listen to Zeus's advice and be wise."

However, Ares could not be appeased. He felt that the answers he sought would be found in the mortal world, not in Olympus, filled with intrigue and predetermined destinies.

Before descending to Earth, Ares met Odin, with a gaze that delved deep, offered words that ignited a flame of rage within Ares.

"God of War," Odin spoke with a calm yet wise voice. "Sometimes, wisdom lies behind the curtain of destruction. Perhaps Hera's destiny is part of a larger flow, and your conflict could unveil the true truth."

Ares responded with fervor, "Do not compare me to gods who are indifferent! They are all contemptible and indifferent to the suffering in the world. I will not let Mother's death be in vain. I will find the answers."

Odin smiled, but his gaze held a warning. "Ares, your heart may be the key to the truth you seek. But know this, every action has consequences. Ensure that your war brings light, not darkness."

With that, Ares descended to Earth, followed by the shadows of anger and curiosity. His resolute steps into the mortal world would open a new chapter in his epic tale, one that not only questioned destiny but also involved a struggle against the will of the gods and hidden truths behind the mistery of his mother dead.

This is the first chapter of "Against the Divine," marking the beginning of Ares' journey in search of answers to his mother's death. I hope you guys enjoy this story.
