"I don't understand your question."
"It's a simple question, boy. Sozin grabbed you up from right under our noses before anyone else could do anything about it and gave you some power, but are you happy with the sort of power he gave you? Doesn't it feel like party tricks compared to what the other superhumans can do? Don't you want to have some real power behind those punches of yours?"
Mark stayed silent as he listened to what Ares was saying. He did not know what Ares was trying to get at, but Ares could tell that Mark was slowly getting the picture from his words.
Ares put his hand on Mark's shoulder again, and this time, Mark only grunted in slight exertion as he felt the mountain land on him once again, but he did not stumble. He kept his eyes locked on Ares' eyes and waited for Ares to finally say what he wanted to say.
"I won't skim words here, boy. Abandon Sozin and come over to my side."
Mark's eyes narrowed.
"What?"
