Trigger warning.
This chapter had been closed. Achlys and all of her bad deeds would finally put to a stop and Ares' burdened heart would get just a bit lighter. He had tried so hard to forget, he did his best to help the people he met afterwards and love by his rule of always being honest and kind. Even though he was aware that changing his attitude wouldn't simply erase his past mistakes he had tried it. He had pretended he never met Vines, he had lied to himself that he didn't just turn a blind eye to one of the biggest atrocities he had ever witnessed. He had turned into a completely different person with the hope that no one would search for his old self.
