Ares was sealed within a towering glacier of crystal frost, his massive frame suspended in layers of translucent ice. For a brief moment, the battlefield remained utterly silent, as though even the wind feared to disturb the frozen monument.
Then a faint tremor ran through the glacier.
Crack. Another. Crack—crack—CRAAACK!
A deep crimson glow began to pulse from within the ice, like molten magma building beneath a mountain. Divine war-fire surged violently through the frozen prison, veins of red light spreading outward in jagged fractures.
Ares' eyes ignited, burning like molten metal beneath the encasing frost.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN FREEZE A GOD OF WAR?!"
His roar detonated from within the glacier. With one brutal flex of his divine body.
BOOOOM!!
The entire ice structure exploded outward in a violent shockwave of fire and fury. Shards of crystal frost scattered across the plains like shattered stars, melting instantly under the surge of war-flames.
