~*~ Fire and Electricity ~*~
"Finally!" I say to nobody in particular. That was a hard job... but all electrical wires are connected properly and all the lights work. The only thing left is to shrink the foil and the wires are ready for use. I light a match and... "STOP!!!!" at that moment the match disappears from my hand. I sit on the floor and Ares towers above me with eyes like fire. "What are you doing???" Ares voice rolls like thunder through the room. "Do you want to burn it all???" I look at Ares and snap: "No... of course not. I have never done anything to harm the temple! You have to trust me more." Ares expression is one of confusion and anger.
"I just want to make sure that the electrical wires don't fall apart right away." I say without paying anymore attention to Ares. Again I pick up the box of matches, this time the whole box disappears. I turn around quickly and glare at Ares. "You better let me do that," Ares says. The top of his index finger starts to glow. "What am I supposed to shrink?" Without talking I point at the lil' pieces of green foil. One after an other they shrink due to the warmth of Ares' finger. "Thanks," I mumble. I am still a little bit irritated that he didn't trust me with a match near his temple.
"Is there anyway you can look even more angry?" Ares asks. "You have to be grateful you know, I just helped you. And I don't go around helping a lot of people." His eyes tell me he is mocking me. I sigh and look him straight in the eyes. "Thanks for helping me." He laughs and disappears.
I put the temple back and start putting everything back where it is supposed to be. I put the axes on the wall and I fill the marble bowl and put it on its place. I turn on the lights and stand back to admire my work. I am satisfied with my work and for a second I have the feeling that Ares is too.
