~*~ Ares Helps ~*~
I read the list of tips again. Saw.... hmmm.... styropor cutter... could try that... stanley knife.... or maybe the little kitchen knife with the heated blade. I look at the saw I own. Well... that is kind of big for small work like this. I decide to cut the lilies from the sticks with a heated blade of a knife. I get a candle and some matches.
"What are you doing?" Ares says. I turn around with the knife in my had. "He... Careful!" Ares says. "You are exactly the person I need," I tell him. Ares grins "I always like to hear that. What can I do for you?" I look at him and say, "remember that a little while ago you were so angry a fireball appeared in your hand?" While I am speaking I move my hand like he did then. Of course in my hand no fireball appears. "You want me to get angry?" Ares asks. "No, you don't have to become angry, just a fireball will do." Ares moves his hand and a fireball appears. He stretches his hand out to me. I put the blade of the knife in the fireball and then cut the lily . And again... in a few seconds all the lilies are cut from the sticks.
"Perfect, thanks, you are a sweetheart." I thank Ares. "Do you see the letter on the table?" I continue. Ares picks up the open envelope. "A spear!!!" He says. I nod. "Truus sent you that spear." Ares grins "Is that the same Truus who sent me the apples?" he asks. "Yep, one and the same." I answer him. I can see that that satisfies him. "Two offerings from one and the same mortal, that is a good sign." mumbles Ares before he disappears.
