Ares: Never Grow Up
Infic appeared!

"Miracle ... huh?"

POV: Author

Ares closed both eyes. The scorched smell burned as well as the footing that began to collapse, not making Ares budge in the least.

Kinggg!

A blue light began to shine from Ares' body. The light then spread like a comet in the night sky. Slowly Ares started to open his eyes. Golden eyes with a sharp and serious look.

"Lookin?" Ares pointed his hand in the air, his face still lowered to look at the other children who had started climbing upwards.

CRIINGGGS!

THE PAATTTSSS!

"A ... This pa?"

"Imust ... are they still human?"

"Hey .. shouldn't we run? We'll die if we stay here!"

All the children who tried to crawl up and drop Merlida rose tendrils, were now silent looking at the sky filled with rifles. Not just one or ten. But there are over a hundred rifles up there ready to fire hot iron.

Whusses.

"Ares?" Merlida looked at Ares who was slowly drifting higher than her footing.

Ares fly.

The boy with golden eyes looked at all the other children below. "On the count of 5, those who don't leave here will die. 1." Ares raised his index finger to the sky according to his count.

"2."

"HEY RUN FAST! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" All the children who were so eager to win the child with the power of luck, now disappeared before the 'fear' that Ares gave.

"3."

"QUICK DOWN! I WANT TO LIVE!" Children who have already climbed so the more panic because they have difficulty to get down.

"4."

"Hey hey! Where are you guys going?! Our goal is up there!" The child with half-hair that had provoked Ares now looked panicked as all his subordinates left.

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO RODE THE STUPID ASSHOLE! WE STILL WANT TO LIVE!" the children answered and ran away leaving him alone. Seeing that all that was left was the child with the half-hair, Ares stopped counting at number 4.

Whusses.

Slowly Ares came down, he stopped right in front of the half-hair child. "Well so? Have you given up?" ares asked as he tilted his head, until his neck made a sound like a broken twig.

The child's mentality was instantly shaken, the golden eyes that were shining brightly before him looked so terrifying. Though Ares's body is shorter than him, but somehow .. he felt depressed because of the presence of Ares.

"Huh .. am I? Surrender?" The boy muttered softly, but Ares could still hear him. Ares frowned irritably, he started to move his index finger, and the direction of the entire rifle was now fixed on the child.

"If you don't give up, then this place will be your grave" Ares said coldly. But the boy in front of him smiled and started laughing.

"Haha ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Ares was still silent looking at the child who seemed to be starting to go crazy. But suddenly a purple light began to come out from the back of the child's right hand earlier. Ares has seen the light, but still does not know what it is.

"If I die, I will take you with me to die."

DEG!

Ares' heart was beating fast. His instincts tell him that something bad is going to happen.

"WATCH ARES! PROTECT THIS KID!" The sound of Merlida's cry made Ares aghast in shock. Ares looked back to look at the bunker he had created earlier. But suddenly .. the bunker exploded along with Merlida who was there.

DUUAARR!

WROSSHH!

"MERLIDA!" Ares looked over at the half-haired boy. But what he found was something even more terrifying.

Ares tried to calm the mental shock, and he immediately ran to where the explosion occurred.

"Merlida! You all right?!" ares shouted as he stared at the asphalt debris as well as the thorny tendrils in front of him.

Kratak up! A gruukk! The grajuk!

Before long, the asphalt debris began to lift. In the middle of the crack of each piece of debris began to appear the tip of Merlida's prickly tendrils.

DRRAAAAKK!

The debris was then thrown in all directions, revealing the figure of Merlida hugging the injured child. "Merylida!" Ares ran towards Merlida in a panic.

"Is your wound bad?" ares asked while looking at Merlida's temple dripping blood. The black haired girl shook her head.

"But Alan, he was seriously injured" said Merlida, who looked like a groan of grief. Ares looked at the boy with half his eyes pierced by asphalt.

So this kid's name is Alan?, inner-Ares.

Ares looked at Alan's bright brown hair, as well as his left black eyes that were still intact, but his gaze was already faint. Ares could also see Merlida's trembling hand holding Alan's body.

"I ... can't be .. congratulations, brother?"

Nyuts.

Test ... test.

"Ukh! Ma ... sorry!" Ares involuntarily shed his tears. His heart was so painful that it felt like it was being smashed into pieces. Though he himself promised life, but in the end he was also the one who could not keep it.

"Begi ... tu, huh? It's okay ..what, really," said Alan with a thinning gaze. Ares and Merlida just cried while staring at Alan in Merlida's lap. As Ares was still looking at Alan with tears, suddenly Alan's pupils moved towards Ares.

"Silver .. a. ku .. have ... one .. request," Alan said in a weakened tone. Merlida and Ares flinched, they then immediately noticed what Alan was going to say.

Alan started to move his right hand, and touched his pants pocket. He pulled out a cute brown teddy bear hanger, but it was worn out. He gave the doll to Ares.

"Please ... give .. on ... Dave. She's .. a. da. da .. at the end of town" Alan said in a voice that was disappearing. Ares grasped the puppet tightly in his palm.

"Yes, definitely. I'll give it to you!" ares is sure. This time he was determined not to fail.

"And I .. don't want to .. die like this," Alan said again which made Merlida and Ares more sad. Seeing two strangers crying for her sake, Alan felt a strange feeling of happiness.

Maybe ... This is what karma is meant by Dave, Alan's mind.

Alan then glanced again at Ares, he reached out his right hand and touched Ares' cheek that was soaked by tears.

If this child .. if this child is truly up to my expectations, then there is no harm in risking my life for him,- Inner Alan.

CRIING!

A purple light shone brightly from the back of Alan's hand. A light that was very similar to that half-haired child earlier. "Is this ... an infic light?!" ares said as he closed his eyes due to glare.

In between those dazzling lights, Ares opened his eyes slightly. And look at Alan smiling at him.

"My last strength. The wheel of fortune is yours. You can only use it .... once, but .. This wheel alone will decide when it is active.

Thank you .. good people. I entrust you."

WHUSS!!!

The light disappeared, along with the loss of a fragile human figure in Merlida's lap. Ares saw a shirt and pants that Alan was wearing. His body disappeared without a trace, but what he left behind .. was a soothing, fragrant smell.

TBC.
