Ares sorts out the teaching as well as the first Patrician, and then also his intentions of creating more units as part of the Phoenix Guard.
The evening meal had come, and Ares had quite a bit of time playing with the various children as he thought about what he wished to do for the next few weeks. He had a few loose ends he had to deal with, or rather just some knots that he had tie up.
Again there was dancing, music, and much closeness of his people. He was glad to see that everyone was enjoying himself and that's when he saw Emerli, Emerli of all people, joining them at the table. She sat between Lana and Ares, of course, but Ares welcomed her eagerly.
"How have you been?" He asked her, smiling wide.
Emerli looked aside and just nodded her head. Many were still not entirely welcoming of a witch, but considering who Ares was and what exactly he had revealed himself to be, they had become far more accepting of others, or at least that's what Ares had hoped would happen.
