"Darn!!!" I grumble. "I just wish I could draw just a lil' bit better." I hear the well known laughter behind me. "Talking to yourself? Isn't there anybody who wants to listen?" I turn around to glare into the smiling face of Ares. "Let me see." he says in a commanding tone and without waiting for my reply he takes the paper from my hands.
For a second he is speechless... that's new. "What is this?" Ares asks with his head a little tilted to the side, he turns the paper around and around again. "It is a sketch of the triangle I want to make on the roof of the temple." I explain. "Yes, I recognize a triangle... but what is the rest?" Ares growls.
I start to get annoyed, I know I am not very good at drawing, but you can see what it is... right? I grab the paper and start to point out the different things. "See," I start. "There in the middle on the rock you sit and at your feet the baby Cupid is playing." I look to check if he is seeing it too, he nods. "At the one side you see two kneeling soldiers and at the other side you can see a horse and a dog. This way I used the symbols the ancient Greeks used for you too." While talking I am pointing everything out. Interested Ares looks at the lines and circles.
"It is a good idea... but if I was you, I would put explanations on it before putting it on the Internet or sending it to somebody." With a thundering laughter he disappears again. I look at my drawing again... hmmm... maybe I should add some explanation to the picture after scanning it, but I won't admit to Ares that I am listening to his suggestion... Arrogant jerk!
