Circe rarely finds time to take in the beauty of Aeaea. But after being in that wasteland known as the Underworld, she's learned to value the isle for what it truly is...and not just a chunk of land in which she spies on the world, but God and mortal alike.
She's not spying on anyone today. At least, she isn't spying on anyone right at this very moment. Right now, she's standing at the shoreline, letting the wind flow through her hair and taking in the sunlight and smell of fresh salt air.
Suddenly, she hears the sound of thunder in the air. Circe opens her eyes to see the pure blue sky turn into a dismal shade of black over her very eyes. The air grows cold and the wind howls, sending a shiver down her spine. A familiar stench fills the air. The decay of war....and the feeling of chaos.
Circe's brow furrows. She knows who that foul stench belongs to. Her once lover, the father of her child, the God that dared to tear away the one person that she loved more than anything in this world.
She turns to face him, blue sparks flying out of the edge of her fingertips as a warning that he was in her domain and that she had the upper hand here.
"Ares," she spits out in disgust.
