I materialized in the Halls of War , where I knew Ares would sit emotionless on his throne staring into nothingness . Unfortunately , I was right .
I didn´t say a word , I simply sat on the velvet , cold , black couch , facing him . Days like any other days I would make childish comments on how his exasperating taste of decorating was pissing me off but today I felt more like throwing up than making fun around .
" She has gone back to her home " I whispered under my breath , scared of how he might react to the reference of her name .
He didn´t even flinch a muscle . His cold , dark mask never leaving its place on his flawless visage .
I knew far better than saying more so I allowed the silence to rise .
" She can as well go and fuck all the customers of the tavern , for all I care " he murmured .
I was aware of the ordeal he was in , the cross he was carrying on his back ...
" Maybe you should try to move on "
I couldn´t believe the words I had just uttered , especially to whom I had uttered those words . We all know that Ares giving up on Xena is like someone deciding to survive without food and water . Impossible .
I gathered the courage I needed , though , to look back on his way , just to anticipate the punch I was sure , was going to follow , to find out that agonizing , unchecked tears were now flowing on his face , uncontrollably .
" If this is what makes her happy ... " he said between sobs .
I hardly swallowed his last words , did he actually said that or was my mind playing tricks with my restless soul ?
" Do you really believe that this is what makes her happy ? " I asked him , trying to deal with what was happening .
A sudden , heavy silence bathed the air . A deafening silence . I held my breath and bit my lips so hard that I felt the blood dripping down on my chin
" Yes " ... he finally stated with a determine look on his face .
" It´s far from over . There´s no turning back . We meant nothing to her , I meant nothing to her , end of story " .
And with that he was gone in a flash of blue sparkles .
