He circles her, his claws rubbing together "You meant no disrespect, and yet come her with another Gods name in your mouth." His hand slices the air behind her, hoping they shred her clothes or something. "You deny the Gods here, coming into our lands and disrespecting us to our faces." He growls, the bloodthirsty look in his eyes famous amongst the streetwalkers of London. He beckons Aphrodite to shut up, his eyes locking on Nyssa's, now standing in front of her. "You wish to be spared, Nigger? Get on your knees." His eyes move to Aphrodite before he speaks, his hand rolling in the air "She will be useless, until she gives herself up to us." The claw of his middle finger gauntlet, extends, now a full four inches of razor sharp obsidian blade. "Submit. Pledge yourself to my love, or I will take you right here, in front of everyone. Then, you will be shown the full power of my Uncle's realm. Choose wisely."

Nyssa heard the sound of something cut the air behind her and felt the sting of a superficial scratch on her mocha-colored skin on her back. Out of pure instinct, she clutched at was now rags and held them to her now nude form, trying to cling to some of her dignity. As Ares gave his command, she knew by the look in his eyes that he had no qualms with killing her and by the way the woman was not throwing herself between them to save her, Nyssa figured she probably couldn't expect her aid.
As she dropped to her knees, clutching her torn clothes to her body, her heart sank. Perhaps her dream of freedom may never be realized. She could only hope that if she gave in, maybe it would not be so bad. She would have prayed as much anyway, but she wasn't sure who to pray to. Looking up at him for a moment before being unable to look back at him any longer, she cast her eyes downwards and spoke.
"I will yield," her voice was shakey and scared. "Please have mercy. I am alone here and new. I know not the ways around here." She hated it had come to such but her survival was at stake. "I submit."

Ares wanted to do what he wanted and Aphrodite had learned ages ago to just let him get it out. As he made his demands, she leaned on a nearby pillar and examined the earrings he had given her, admiring the colors and style. Occasionally her eyes drifted to the two of them and she found Nyssa on the ground trying to hide her nudity. Looked like the goddess had some work to do with that one.
As Nyssa submited, Aphrodite smiled a bit and watched the two of them. There was nothing quite like a fresh lump of clay to work with.

A clawed finger runs under Nyssa's chin, Ares head nodding. "Well done. It was only a matter of time before you saw the light." He looks down at her, pointing to the closed bureau "Strip out of those rags, and change into something more suiting to your new position." He turns to talk to Aphrodite, His eye on Nyssa "So, have I missed anything? Anything important, anyways?" He speaks out of the corner of his mouth, to Nyssa, his eyes shifting to an unreadable, onyx shade. "You must change in front of us. It will be amusing. Do not hide your shame anymore. You are Greek now. Shame is for those who follow," His fingers going into the air, tracing a pair of quotation marks in the air, continuing t=his sentence "That now dead whore God, Isis. Your old ways will do nothing good for you now."

She stood up, her hands still holding what was left of what she was wearing to her body until she heard him speak. She didn't want to arouse his anger. She had no idea what he would do to her. She took a deep breath and tried to summon all of her courage. She was raised to cover her body. As she exhaled, the tattered remains fell and she was exposes for the both of them to see. She thought about anything else and tried to not run to the chest of clothes. She walked at a normal pace with her head held high and thought she would die of relief when she got there.
She reached in and pulled out the first thing her hand touched. A white gown cut to almost look like a grecian toga that was trimmed in gold. Putting it made her feel much better, but at the same time she felt out of place in it. Once done she turned to face them for their approval

Aphrodite turned her head to look at Ares and gave him a slight smile. Her eyes turned to Nyssa for a moment, watching her bare backside before looking back. Now that the matter of the girl was settled, they might be able to talk business.
"You could say you have missed a few things," she said softly. "Mostly your father having gone missing after going to deal with the titans. Seems they have escaped." Her tone was non-chalant, as though it were talk about the weather. "Perhaps you and I should seek to lead the others. You are his son after all." She smiled at him, her turquoise eyes glimmerimg almost in the candlelight.

He watches Nyssa's backside, studying the gait with which she walked, trying to mentally categorize where he could use her to the fullest. His eyes are off in the distance, watching her in his peripheral vision, in front of Aphrodite. He wasn't up for fighting her, and wasn't sure he had strong enough rope or closet doors. He chuckles, thinking about her, tied up and laying on the floor of a closet. His finger flicks his nose, slicing it to the bone, as the claw tears through the flesh with ease, the blood on the ground, a viscous, black puddle, pooling together, the faces of the world's greatest soldiers, Generals, and Tacticians, each one who owed his greatness to Ares, giving their soul to him in exchange for their military might. The blood dissipates, flowing back into Him, through the nasal wound, sealing it up behind the flow. His eyes jump to Aphrodite's, his ears perking at the news "Zeus? Gone? The throne in Olympus is open for the taking," He runs his hand over his chin, tapping the flesh with his claws, the indents poking little holes in the skin. "The Titans? Who released those worthless beings back here?" His eyes flash, as his time on Olympus had created an ingrained hatred for those who were not from the Greek Pantheon, especially those had the throne of Olympus usurped from them by Ares' father, Zeus. This was indeed, troubling news. Luckily, between him and Athena, battle, and strategy working in perfect accord, the Titans had no chance for an uprising. His attention shifts, as he realizes he has not seen the girl clothed yet "Come now, Nyssa. Show yourself before us, and let us decide your new fate together."

Nyssa had waited patiently. So now her fate was in their hands, but whether it was good or bad, she could not tell just yet. He still made her nervous but his lover seemed more calm and not so eager for violence. She knew that didn't exactly mean anything, but she wasn't holding her breath just yet.
When he spoke again, she moved to go before the two of them. Draped in light white fabric with gold accents, she had to admit it made her feel perhaps the prettiest she has ever felt, but it was foreign to her too. She had almost always wore her burqa before now. She stopped in front of them and glanced to the two of them before she cast her gaze downward. The suggestion of deciding her fate caused a whole new set of butterflies to flutter in her stomach.

Aphrodite took a step back when the puddle of blood pooled on the floor, determined to keep herself away from such a thing. She was not a fan of blood, even if it was just one of those things in life. The sight of it reminded her of those horrible vampires. Looking back at Nyssa, she smirked in approval as she saw her dressed and waiting but then she turned her head again when Ares spoke.
"Yes, it seems his throne is now vacant," she replied. "He has yet to return. I have a feeling others may take advantage of it as well, but I am sure it would be a conquest you could easily gain. Maybe then we can do something about this marriage of mine." A sore subject in her eyes. She then shook her head and sighed. "I don't know who set them free. I suppose it will need to be dealt with in time..." Aphrodite then turned as Nyssa approached and smiled. "She cleans up nicely."

His mind reels a bit at the news of his Father, not that he was ever particularly fond of him, just that his throne was now vacant. He knew it was only a matter of time before those who sought power would make their grabs for the throne. The Chaos was just beginning to swell, and he knew it. His eyes move over Nyssa, still talking to Aphrodite "As for your marriage, well, it was purely political, a tie to a time out mind that no longer applies. It would be a simple matter to take care of. Assuming, of course, that I even want the throne in the first place." He looks to Nyssa now, taking her in, smirking "Indeed. But outward appearance means nothing without the proper training. Am I to assume you will take care of that particular worry?" The look in his eyes was open, the darkness all consuming, as they took on their normal, Stygian darkness. "Trust me when i say, you will prefer her methods to mine own. You will soon find yourself in over your head. Give yourself to this. It will be to your benefit."

Nyssa stood and waited, listening to them and trying to gather clues about the two of them. She wanted to know as much about them as she could if she was going to be forced into their service. She lifted her head as her brown eyes looked upon them, him in his intimidating manner and her in all her beauty. They seemed so otherworldly to her.
As he spoke to her, she felt a shiver go down her spine and slowly nodded. "I somehow think I prefer it," she spoke softly. "But I will do as asked." She figured she might see where this led. If given over to the woman, maybe things would be bearable. If not, maybe she could look for her exit. Maybe she could even somehow play into their favor if she learned enough about them.

Aphrodite turned from Nyssa and looked at Ares, an eyebrow raised in curiosity before her expression relaxed again. She wasn't completely sure if he would make an effort to usurp his father as he always seemed more eager to run into some battle. Not that such a truth surprised her in the least given his expertise was war and violence. She stood up more straight, the red gown she wore dripping off all of her feminine curves as she placed a hand on her hip.
"Though I cannot seem to make out what your dear uncle is up to," she stated. "Hades met me in the temple earlier. He said he would be watching me." She scowled a little before softening her expression again to answer his question. "The girl appears to be no warrior, so I can take her. I will make a woman out of her." She was trying to determine just where to place her.

A laugh escapes Ares throat, watching Nyssa move towards them. The claws on his gauntlets retract, going to their normal size, turning back into the enchanted metal, the rest of the armour glowing with the spirit essence, his gloved hand beckoning Nyssa forward. "Approach, Dancer, so that you may receive the blessing of the Heavens themselves." From his back , he pulls a sword, made of obsidian and the same ghost metal material the armour was made of, he waits for her to approach, beckoning her to her knees. He had no idea why he planned a full on knighting ceremony, but he had a feeling she would prove significant at some point. The blade is raised, coloured the same as the essence that hung around the armour, now a deep, scarlet shade, the goblin inspired shield completely covering his back. His eyes fix on hers, the tip of the blade shaped like a half moon, glistening in the pale light of the bathhouse. "You will pledge yourself to Olympus, and to us, on pain of death. " The glyphs and markings that filled the indent in the blade's middle, glowed with the same luminescence, the markings standing out from the rest.

Nyssa stepped closer and as instructed, she went to her knees. She had listened to the woman speak and wondered what she had meant by making a woman of her. She had even listened to her speak of another and put the name Hades in the back of her mind. She figured she would learn everything in time and had fully planned to. She in the mean time looked up at Ares as he drew his sword and spoke.
"I do." She didn't have much of a choice in the matter. She had already gotten a slight taste of what might happen should she refuse. She was not about to say no. For now, she played along.

Aphrodite watched as Ares performed his little ceremony. Her eyes fell upon Nyssa as she studied her for likely the thousandth time. She pondered just exactly how to go about her work with this one, trying to make her loyal. She was not stupid and knew one of the quickest ways was to treat them well and Aphrodite actually took good care of her followers, especially her priestesses. Perhaps in time Nyssa might be one of their temple workers. It would take some time of course. She looked back at Ares.
"I have a few ideas what I can do with her," she said. "Though I have told my high priestess to spread my influence. Perhaps she can go with her and the others." She looked back at Nyssa and smiled. It wasn't exactly a friendly smile, rather a smile a businessman might make when acquiring a valuable asset.
