Fandom High School

"So," Ares said, after the class had assembled. "You have fought to defend your town, you have made alliances, and you have made enemies."

"What next? Simple enough question, but the answer? Different story entirely. This class I want you to discuss what you do next. Taking into account your army, your allies, your enemies, your growing influence on events, your new and increased self confidence. Just remember, you have power now, and it does have that little tendency to corrupt."

"We'll also be doing something special next class, so be on your toes."

"So," Ares said, after the class had arrived at the main campfire. "Last week, you all decided that the best thing to do after being banished from your village was to raise an army to create a kind of bufferzone to prevent your village being attacked again." Which they hadn't, exactly, but Ares wasn't going to let that stop him.

"Now, after you've got the hang of this whole leading an army thing, you find you're quite successful at it, and in short order are building up a decent reputation. One day, while doing your thing, your men capture a prisoner, a minor general of a smallish empire, who says you can fetch a handsome ransom for him. What do you do? Do you get him go? Do you ransom him, kill him?"

"Now, assuming you decide to ransom him, which being the intrepid young warriors you are, I am, you obviously don't treat him shabbily, after all, there's a meal ticket riding on it, and hey, this guy is rather charming, so you two get along...well, given our classroom setting, let's just leave it as getting along rather well. Now, before you let him go, your hostage proposes you meet up in a couple of days and start a new alliance. Again what do you do? Why?"

"However, once you meet up with your new 'ally' again, it turns out that it all was a bit of a trap and you get crucified. Whoops. Luckily for you, you get freed from the cross by a 'good friend', and taken to a healer to do something about that whole shattered lower legs thing you've got going for you, but not before your friend gets skewered by a couple of arrows and dies."

"Discuss the most self-empowering way you can think of to deal with this betrayal, and your loss of both your friend and the use of your legs for the foreseeable future."

At some point since the last lesson, Ares had gone back to his natural hair colour.

"Good morning, class," he said. "Today we'll be doing some roleplay. You are all helpless villagers, weaponless, defenceless, sitting ducks, really, and your teeny, tiny peaceful village is about to be destroyed by a ruthless warlord. What do you do?"

"Also, in keeping with the spirit of things, any and all entreaties to me will be ignored, I'm the God of War, that means I'm on the warlord's side. Instead bug TA girl."
