Chapter 4: Rescued?

Hiccup and Toothless flew threw the night searching of Ares's ships.

••••••••••

Edith was flying about the ships with Sky above the clouds. Unknown to him Ares had spotted him a long while ago. Y/n, who hadn't expected a rescue, waited for Ares in his quarters. She had tried getting out multiple times in her short time here. She had made it out once and tried jumping into the sea, but Ares had caught her before hand. Now with the door guarded, Y/n gave in for the time being. The things Ares told her last night still hung in her head.

"Have you learned anything?"
"Dragons and humans will never have peace with one another."
"Y/n, I trust you to understand that this fight for dragons is pointless and worthless."

Y/n pondered on what he had said. He looked angry but his voice gave off a wavering in his voice. He was upset. But why? There had to be answers somewhere. So, Y/n decided to snoop in hope of answers. Scanning the room, which only contained a over head candle with a desk attached to the wall on one side with a bed on the other. At the foot of the bed was a chest and on the far end was a weapon and armor holder. Moving straight over to the chest she tried to tug it open only seeing it was locked.

"When has it ever been that easy?" Y/n muttered. Pulling out the small knife she still had, that Ares hadn't taken yet much to her surprise, and picked the lock. Once it opened she lifted the lid and found it only contained some sort of clothing. Grabbing it and holding it up Y/n noticed it was a robe. There was under cloth with it in the trunk. They where white with grey trimming. Looking back at the chest she found two metal objects. Setting the robes aside she took hold of one seeing they were made to be placed on her arm. She decided against not wanting accidentally hurt herself. Putting the robes back the door opened and Ares walked in. He paused seeing she had opened the chest. Y/n visibly tensed as he approached her.

"I see you found my brothers old robes."

Y/n looked away. Ares noticed her fear quickly and shook his head with a small ruefully smirk. He should be use to this. He was made a bloodthirsty man ever since he had slaughtered the village that had taken his brothers life. Ares had, ever since then, grow into war and enjoyed the thrill, and many questioned why he did what he did. The answer was simple enough. He wanted to be noticed. Loved by his family, but his mother never was satisfied, making Ares want to prove worth. Oddly enough, when Y/n came into his life, he grew less bloodthirsty and more into the young boy he was before. The village runt.

"There is no need to be scared. You know I have no desire to harm you."

Y/n could only nod. With a sigh Ares turned heading to the door and paused.

"Try it on. I'm sure it'll fit you nicely dearest," Ares smirked before opening the door. "Give a knock when you have it on."

With that he left leaving Y/n shocked. Sure he hadn't the interest of harming her but she still feared the worst out of him. With a sigh she decided to do as he had instructed. Dressing into the clothes and robes Y/n went to the door and knocked. Stepping back Ares entered. Scanning over her he reached over making Y/n flinch as he adjusted the robes slightly. He didn't retract his hand, instead he held her pulling her closer.

"Ares..?"

Seeing fear creepy deeply into her eyes he released her and walked to the back to the room taking a set of armor. Slowly he handing the chest guard to her and helped adjust it. Shoulder padded and a sword. Ares went over to the box and picked up the metal objects.

"These are hidden blades. It's simple. Put in order to use it you have to simple flick your hand outwards and the blade will appear. It may be helpful to you in the future," Ares muttered placing them on her. "And I trust you will not let anyone but you see what is contained in these pages."
