She growled and Jasper hissed at her. I felt the flames in my eyes as Ares started to awake. He would do anything to protect me. "My love do not. I can defend myself from this small creature. I do not fear her. Sleep love. I will wake you when its time." I said into his head. He met my eyes and I realized that Ares was already awake. He smirked as he saw my recognition and did something I did not expect or have time to stop. "Hello my love." He said. Everyone froze as he crossed the room to me and planted a kiss on my lips. Without thinking I shoved him away and called forth my Ethros blade. I held it with the point to his throat. "Athena, you take this outside now. I will not have you destroying my mother's home." Aphrodite commanded.
"I am leaving. You will not follow me Ares or you will regret it so." I said. "You forget my dear that I do not bow to you." He said. Ares was full force now and I could feel it. "You back off or I'm calling Poseidon." I said. "Do you really think your lover can save you again?" he asked. Suddenly I was thrown off my feet and hitting the ground outside. I climbed to my feet and put my blade away. "You locked me away Athena! You weakened me and continually mocked me!" he roared. My knees buckled and I bowed with my neck exposed to him. "You would have burned me to the ground. I had no choice." I spit. "You had every choice! You made the wrong one at every turn!" he yelled. I forced myself to my feet and felt the earth start trembling as my anger rose. "You have no right! I locked you away to save Olympus! You would have seen all of us dead!" I screamed.
"You started this when you opened yourself to that fool of the Sea!" he shouted. "I never slept with Poseidon. You chose to see what you wanted. You burned my city twice and hurt my brother! Zeus would have killed me and then you would have burned Olympus to nothing! I chose to save my brother and the man I love! By locking you away I gave us every chance to get it right!" I said. Rain started pouring and I knew Poseidon was there behind me. He would easily feel my rage as it poured through the connection we shared. "Even now you call your lover to defend you!" he shouted.
