Dragonfruit: Wait… it says here you’re like dating Aphrodite. Isn’t she the goddess of beauty and love? Why would you slum with me?

Ares: laughs Don’t sell yourself short there kid. Besides, all us gods like to kick it with Humans sometimes. You fascinate us.

Dragonfruit: Wait… humans without any sort of super power, fascinate the all powerful greek gods with untold power?

Ares: Look, we survive using our power. You humans have no power, yet you get by just fine. How could that not fascinate us?

We talked for a long time. He explained to me what life was like for him as a demigod, and how grandma never back down from her destiny. Papa told me that he wasn’t able to carry on her legacy because his traits didn’t match up with the heroes the gods were trying to create. I thought that was bologna, but Papa waved it off. Maybe I shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions when he had told me about it being my destiny now… it couldn’t be too bad?
