As they journeyed through the mountains and into the woods Ares described the route to Eris since it's her first time going on the journey" you see those mountains over there" he pointed to the mountains that were on the northern edge of the route"it's called the Capricious Mountains, Do you know why it's called that?."he asked her and Haphaestus knew his brother lived for this"There was a goddess named Nyx, who was so set on her rules,she believed in balance of nature and everything has to follow the rules to be balanced and she has a daughter who felt every single thing her mother said was wrong and it was just for people to follow her rules and she started a rebellion against her mother and a civil war started when the mother was tired of fighting her daughter she created an alliance with her and the people who wanted to go with her daughter she go,the ones who wanted to stay with her should stay and that mountain was created to separate them"Ares told them the story of the Capricious mountain as they were journey"and it was called the Capricious mountain" Haphaestus finished the story and then looked ahead of them and looked back at everyone the reason he did this was because there was a huge forest in front of them,it was no ordinary forest it was called Lotus Blossom forest,pretty name for a deathly forest he has no issues going in there but at night the forest is more dangerous it creates illusions and dark creatures roams it at night he looked at Ares waiting for his orders"what are you waiting for"ares asked as he got closer to Haphaestus and he looked forward and saw the forest and made an oh with his mouth"well this shouldn't be a problem for us,everyone listen"he called everyone attention to him"This is the Lotus Blossom forest"he said and continued "it sounds nice right?"he asked them "it's definitely not what it sounds and looks like,it's a very dangerous forest so I suggest we all stay together,Haphaestus you and crimson should protect the humans,Eris you and Isabelle should stay together"he ordered everyone they came with two humans a maid for Eris and Isabelle and a butler to ride the carriage" they wouldn't have needed the carriage but they couldn't go to the Azov kingdom without gifts for the dragon king.
"Now when it's dark we must stay together,cause the creatures that lurks this forest by night are not to be taken lightly,you'll see blossoms in the trees and rivers do not touch them it's all an illusion,touching them reveals your fears to the forest and it creates more illusion out of them and if you see a baby in the forest don't go near it part of the illusion and most importantly if you hear a cry for help don't go remember stay together if we go in there now by tomorrow before noon we will be out okay"he said and they entered the lotus blossom forest.
The forest was a breathtakingly beautiful place, with lush greenery, serene water bodies, and vibrant flowers. The lotus blossoms added a touch of elegance and tranquility, with their delicate petals and enchanting fragrance but this forest takes a dark and mysterious turn at night. The atmosphere becomes foreboding, and the creatures that lurk in the shadows pose a real threat. The glowing blossoms in the trees and rivers are mesmerizing, but also treacherous, as they're part of an illusion. The warning about not touching the blossoms, the appearance of a baby, and the cries for help all add to the sense of unease and danger. It's like the forest is alive, and it's playing tricks on anyone who dares to venture in.
