Ares relaxed on his throne up in his palace on Mount
Olympus. The Greek God of War was dressed in his usual black leather and his
Sword of Power hung at his hip.
"What are you watching?" Gabrielle asked.
Gabrielle wore her favorite Amazon outfit with the green top and short brown
skirt. Her long blonde hair cascaded past her shoulders and she had blue eyes.
Gabrielle was originally a bard from Poteidaia. She had meet Xena and had
traveled with her for many years, learning how to fight. Ares had taken an
interest in her and the two had gotten together. Now, many centuries later,
they were married and living up on Mount Olympus in Ares' palace.
"I'm watching this FantasyLoves." Ares replied as
he smiled up at his wife. "She truly is a great leader, a great Warlord.
Single-handed, she has gathered together a powerful army. Her army has twelve
legions and they are truly powerful. The legions battle each other in the
Fantasy Fights. It's glorious!"
"Yes, I know." Gabrielle said. "For I have
been watching her, too. As the Goddess of Friendship, I love what she is doing.
She is spreading Friendship around the Internet and the world. People are
finding friends who they otherwise never would have met."
"Her birthday will be soon." Ares stated as he
continued to watch his God TV.
"Let's bake her a birthday cake!" Gabrielle pulled
Ares from his chair towards the kitchen. The two got busy in the kitchen and
soon they had a beautiful cake. This truly was a unique cake, as it was made by
Olympian Gods up on Mount Olympus! No mortal ever had seen or tasted such a
rare treat. When the cake was ready, they popped down to FantasyLoves' home and
appeared in a flash of white light.
FantasyLoves stared at Ares and Gabrielle in amazement. Her
mouth dropped open and her fingers froze above the keyboard. Gabrielle, of
course, was the one holding the large cake on a golden platter.
"Who...who are you?" FantasyLoves asked.
"I'm Ares, God of War." Ares answered in that
wonderful voice of his. "And this is my wife, Gabrielle the Goddess of
Friendship. We have come to wish you a Happy Birthday!"
"Yes, we admire what you have created in the Fantasy
Fights." Gabrielle said as she placed the cake on a table. She smiled at
webmaster of the famous site. "But no Birthday Party can be complete
without the guests!"
Ares waved his hand and the room filled with surprised
people. It was all the people who had websites in the Fantasy Fights! Ares
voiced boomed out among the startled guests. "You have all come here to
celebrate FantasyLoves' Birthday. We will eat cake, drink soda and have a
party!"
Then Ares gave a little speech. "I may be the God of
War, but I value friendship. Many centuries ago I gave up my Godly powers to
save the lives of my friends. Gabrielle, Xena and Eve were more important to me
than being a God. Over a year later, my powers were restored to me, by my
friends. Gabrielle is now my wife. Battle proudly for your teams but remember
friendship is more important than winning the war. That old saying is true:
together we stand and divided we fall. And through strong friendship you can
defeat anyone that opposes you." Ares wrapped his arms around Gabrielle as
he stood behind her.
Everyone wished FantasyLoves a Happy Birthday and watched as
she blew out the candles on the cake. Hopefully her wish will come true!
