~*~ Let me sleep ~*~
A strange glow appears in my bedroom… Still sleepy I open my eyes. My eyes need a second to get used to the strange light… it is Ares. "Ohhh… did I wake you?" he says quasi apologetic. "Yes." I growl. Waking Kitty isn't a smart thing to do, not even if you are a wargod. "What are you doing here?" I mumble. I yawn and stretch my body. Amused Ares is watching me. "I came by to see if you worked on my temple some more." "AT NIGHT????" I ask in disbelieve. "I come and watch often. It isn't my fault you put the temple in your bedroom. It was YOU who wanted a Christmas tree!" his answer sound more like an accusation then an apology.
"But now you are awake…" Ares sits down on the bed. "we might make some plans for the temple." I try to look at the alarm clock "At 1 am? Are you crazy!" I snap. I am not very patient when I just woke up. "Temper... Temper." Ares looks at me in shock. "You are my temple builder 24 hours a day, you know." "I can't build any temples if I don't get enough sleep." I say. But Ares isn't listening, he starts telling me about the plans he has for the temple. I try to listen… really I am trying. But very slowly my eyes start to close. His talking has the same effect as a bedtime story. I don't hear a word, just the sound of the dark voice next to me.
"YOU AREN'T LISTENING!!!!" Ares says loudly. Shocked I sit up in bed. "You mortals really use to much time to sleep." he continues. "Please, just let me sleep. I promise I'll be all ears in the new year." I am prepared to promise him almost anything at this moment, if he just let me sleep. "Well... Okay," he says "but on January 1st I will return to make a list of new years resolutions with you." "That is fine." I mumble. "Good night, Ares." I am asleep already.
