Ares was Zeus's hated child, he absolutely hated Ares because of his personality, nobody knew what was in Ares heart except Athena sure they weren't in love but they understood each other like a brother and sister do, She was always there for him and helped him win his wars and she taught him how to read when he was young. Athena she always felt Ares was neglected as s child and Adult and she helped him out and then Hermes saw what she did for Ares and helped her. Now Hermes was a different story he felt bad for Ares but he would never tell Zeus how wrong he has treated his son and even as Ares grew from Child to Adult Athena taught him how to anticipate his oponents next move but even now as he is Twenty thousand years old and still looks like he's in his twenties (even though he technically is) without a beard and his grey eyes. He is not Athenas son, He is her Brother. Ares was sharpening his sword when Athena called his name
"Ares" said Athena walking up to him
"Yes, Athena" said Ares
"Our father wants us to penetrate Hades walls, so we can figure out what he is doing this time" said Athena
"Well then let's not keep Zeus waiting" said Ares grabbing his sword and they headed to the underworld
"What's wrong" asked Athena
"You found love in Hermes" said Ares
"Yeah" said Athena
"I want to find love like that" said Ares
"I can't tell if you're trying to tell me you're gay or you want to find a woman whom you love very much" said Athena
"I'm not gay" said Ares
