~*~ Stefan Helps ~*~

"Are you ready?" I ask my brother. "Yes," Stefan says. He holds a small drill in his hands. I painted little white spots on the wall and floor of the temple. Stefan turns the small electric drill on.

"STOP!!!!" Ares voice thunders. Stefan almost drops the drill with freight. "What is this? You let this boy put holes in my temple! Are you completely mad!" I look at Ares... and Ares looks at Stefan. "Quit that!" I say while moving between Ares and Stefan. "You are scaring him! He only wants to help."
"Help? You are calling that help," he points at the little hole in the floor of the temple. "Yes," I reply. "Help! You won't see the holes when I am done. The torches and the fire bowl will stand on them. The holes are to threat the electric wire from the lights through." I am still standing between Ares and my brother. Ares turns to Stefan. "Make sure you are careful."
"Of course." answers Stefan softly.

"And you," Ares turns to me "You should be more careful too! I am still a god and you are just a mortal." While speaking I notice the grin on his face. He disappears.

"Is Ares angry with you now?" Stefan asks. "It isn't that bad," I say, thinking about the grin. Then Stefan can drill the next hole.
