Chapter 62: The Flames Explode

The three gods rush onwards,

Ares summoning forth war horses

That were grazing nearby

And Artemis summoning her own

From out of the nearby forest.

The road fast and quick 

When the two men clashed

In the streets of the city

Sending forth a blinding flash

Of magnificient light

And a rush of wind forth

As it rushed past the three,

The horses whinning slightly

At this desturbance within the atmosphere.

They didn't change direction

They didn't retreat.

They forged ahead

Onwards to the city to see 

The destruction that would be left

But as they arrived,

They found very little was left

At least, of the altercation

As it didn't seem to be any bodies

Nor where there any wreckage left.

All that remained were the few

Scattered sparks of flames 

That smouldered away on the stone

And of the scorchmarks left on the 

Streets of the city.

"So where are they?"

Is all Ares could ask,

As the city sat quietly,

Empty and void of all life

For it seemed after the fight.

Artemis bent down to examine the street

Looking at the little flame

That was fighting on the cobblestone

Before she snuffed it out and added

"Indeed, Ares, where did they go?"
