I Scored Myself A Mate

"Of course it would be a huge forest. Because everything has to be at a forest, with bugs and, and vines and prickly bushes." Mark mumbled annoyed as he pushed a tree branch away from his face.

"Hey! Watch when you let go of that thing." Ares exclaimed. Mark had moved forwards, letting go of the branch resulting in it coming right back in its initial position and smacking Ares' face.

"Are you alright?" Ea asked him and the prince turned around to face him with a pout. 

"No" he said dramatically and Ea, unnecessarily worried, cupped his face sweetly and moved closer to examine it. Ares smiled and moved his face forward, leaving a kiss on his nose. "I'm fine." He said and the small elf rolled his eyes. He let go of him and started walking only to see an angry Allias standing in front of them.

"Do you think this is a camping trip or some kind of school outing?" He asked them and Ares shrugged his shoulders. "This is your brother we are looking for."

"My brother is so annoying, so agitating that he would probably make his captors so mad with his infuriating comments that they would let him go willingly." Ares said eagerly.

"Move ugly." Allias told him, making the Disee prince gasp in shock.

"So it wasn't something you said while you were mad." 

"This is serious!" Ea shouted right next to his husband, making him flinch. "Learn what timing means. Now start walking." 

"Mark, do you want me to carry you?" Asmodeus asked the redhead who had just jumped over a puddle of dirt. This was one of the biggest forests in the Disee area. The trees were thick and tall while the temperature was cold even during the spring and the start of summer. The ground was still mushy, probably because of the humidity from a nearby river that could be heard a few meters away. 

"No, thank you I'm alright." Mark said and smiled gently at him.

"Why aren't you people more worried?" Rayla asked. She was following close behind, her white dress in her hands in a very poor attempt to not get the end dirty. It was very pretty with delicate lace designs but as it seemed it would end up in the trash after this.

"I will tell you why. Everyone has gotten kidnapped, imprisoned, killed and the list goes on and on. The weird thing would be for us to rest for more than two working days. I am married and I've never gone on my honeymoon, crazy right?" Ares told her.

"The honeymoon thing is simply because you ran away!" Ea reminded him, elbowing him in the ribs.

"Sorry, honey."

Allias had realized something about this little group of his. They were inappropriate. Simple as that. Someone would die right next to them and they would be picking daisies by the dead body. Someone is hurt, oh well, shit happens. His boyfriend got kidnapped? Same old, same old! Just thinking of that got him very heated. He stopped walking and luckily he easily found a rock. It was round, a dark brown color with a few specs of dirt on it. He picked it up from the dirt and raised his arm, throwing it right at Ares and missing his head by so little the prince stood frozen for a few seconds later.

"What was that for?" 

"I don't want to hear about your honeymoon. I don't want to hear your bickering. I want to find Theseus!" He said. "Now shut the fuck up and walk!" 

Ea looked at the prince with the corner of his eye, warning him not to say another word. They walked in silence for some time until they reached the wide river. Its water was cold and wild, rushing down so fast if you fell in there was no way you would be easily getting out.

"We need to go through the river. I think the area Amelia told us was right after here." Mark said and pointed at a small clearing. Allias nodded agreeing with his friend and scanned the area with his green eyes to find a few big rocks that laid out a little path inside the river. 

"Over there." He pointed at it.

"Why can't we just teleport to the other side?" Ares asked.

"Because if they have magic detectors they will spot us." His husband told him as they walked over.

"Our powers don't really come handy in anything anymore do they?"

"You can't even control your power, why are you talking?" Allias asked him.

"Well at least I have two hands to fight with." He said and the king stopped. He didn't have to turn around. Just that move was enough to indicate what would follow. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I will shut up, I swear." Ares said.

Mark with Asmodeus passed the river first. Then Ea followed with Ares close behind making sure he would hop over safely. The last two people that remained were Rayla and Allias.

"Go. Don't worry" he told her and the woman warily stepped on the first stone. It was slippery and she could feel the cold water droplets splashing on her exposed feet. She made it just fine until the middle and Allias was already on his way over when her sandal slipped and she almost fell into the water. Allias rushed over catching her and smoothly pushed her to the shore, Mark catching her so she wouldn't land face first in the dirt. 

Such rapid movements though had a very bad effect in such small spaces. Obviously Allias' boot slipped resulting in him twisting his ankle and falling right into the icy cold river.

"Allias!" Mark exclaimed.

"Do something you shits!" The king shouted as he was being taken away by the strong current of the river.

"Asmodeus fly and catch him!" Mark told him.

"I can't fly with all these trees around my wings are huge." He said as they ran at the side of the river along with the drowning Allias.

"Why is nobody helping me!" He screamed at them. It was really hard to swim with only one arm, especially when a freezing cold river seemed to be overpowering you. He kept landing underwater and then popping back up as he tried to swim.

"Let's just leave him and see where the river takes him. Relax, it's just a cold bath. We will search for Theseus everything's cool!" Ares shouted and Allias' eyes widened.

"You can't be serious?" He shouted before his head was once more dived underwater. 

....

Just wanted to add a little comedy because drama can be a bit overwhelming at times.

And for those who think it's not logical for them to leave him like this, come on, we all know who we are talking about. Also he is immortal he will be fine.

Hope you enjoyed this carefree chapter and had fun.. Please leave a nice comment and a review. Thank you!
