"Okay. I have decided. I will be leaving tomorrow morning." Ares stated as matter of fact, or as much as he could. Though there was a lot to do, he decided if he remained here, he would never be able to foster Independence within his people as well as his leaders.
He was uncertain whether or not they would see him as someone that was shirking his responsibilities, but if he kept second guessing himself and his leaders he would lose their trust and would even lose faith in himself.
"Are you sure that's wise?" Torak said as he appeared from nowhere in particular. He had been talking with Lana and Rori, but Torak had returned with the trainees for the Phoenix Guard.
"I don't know, but it's not my job to be wise." Ares replied as he then looked over to Rori. "I'll leave that kind of business to you, Counsel." Ares laughed.
"So you are leaving that quickly… Do you have everything you need?" Lana asked. Her face was stuck in a constant expression of being unimpressed and annoyed.
