Fallen Down - Power discovery, 100th post

[Ares]

As long as breath comes from my mouth
I may yet stand the slightest chance.

The force of the shove made her scream, some thread in her mind that kept Ares in control straining. She stumbled back, feet touching the water now. it made her realize what she tried to do. What it tried to make her do. Wings flapped wildly, something screaming in her mind to burn them. All of them. Burn the forest, burn the Glades. It made her stagger back more, and she looked around, as if searching for someone. All she wanted was... was..

"Dumb girl... Always thinking she needs others when a war goddess should be alone, alone with her anger and hate for the world. A pathetic girl she is." The thread was so close to snapping. But still she held on. Her voice reached out again, pushing for control. "I wasn't talking! She... I can't keep control for much longer! You have to stop me, I don't know if I can stop myself!" She cried, and cried and cried. No one would believe her. No one would trust her. She wanted her. The lioness. She wanted.. "Pretty Mother.. please.."
