    Summary

    -UPDATE JULY 20
    OMG YOU GUYS I HAVE ART
    (LINK ADDED TO CHAPTER 6)

    Ares is disliked by most of his Olympian colleagues, but as long as he has Thanatos he has everything he needs.

    Then he is asked to help Zagreus break out of the underworld, and things get complicated.

    Told from Ares' POV, this follows the main plot of the game.

    Rated M for mature themes, but there is nothing graphic or explicit. Brief reference to a dubiously-consensual sexual situation.

    *Minor edits 3 July 2021 to adjust some events and relationships for the sake of continuity with the rest of the series
