Toy Soldiers [When the war trio were small] (Tag: Zeus, Ares, and Enyo)
With slow careful steps, Eris approached Daddy's bed. It was barely morning, and Eris could feel her skin buzzing from what was happening downstairs. She didn't know how to say what was happening exactly, or what words matched the feeling in her heart. Her heart buzzed too. It was a wasp nest with a million tiny bees. That was why Eris broke things and didn't understand why they got mad afterwards. They'd understand too if they had hearts that were wasp nests with bees. What was happening went beyond that though. They'd created something that was so big. Bigger than anything Eris had ever seen made before, and Eris knew her parents would want to be a part of it. She couldn't take that away from them.
She didn't know where Mommy was, but that was okay because Eris got to spend more time with her than with Daddy anyway, and Eris wanted Daddy to see even more. He didn't ever say he was proud of them, but Eris felt like this could change that. She just wanted everyone to be happy.
Daddy's chest rose and fell beneath the blankets. She could hear him breathing. Eris was learning more and more about how breathing worked, and about how not all hearts worked quite the same way. Eris clambered up on the bed, and started jumping. “Daddy!” Eris said. She tugged on his arm. “Come seeeee! Come seeee!” She looked to make sure there wasn't a lady with him. If there was another lady with him, Eris needed to say hello first. Otherwise she was being impolite. “Come see what Ares and Enyo have done!” she yelled once she'd finished checking. Eris had helped them by playing practice and lookout, and she'd done the distraction part. But that was nothing.
She kept tugging until he looked at her. “Ares ruined my dress,” Eris said. She was grinning. “But it's okay. I have more clothes still.” She told him so he wouldn't be mad about the mess, even though she'd gotten some blood on the sheets. They could get more sheets. That's why he was a king. It was so he could get everything. Eris was a princess. That meant she could get everything too if she learned how.
“Come with me!” she said, leading him down the stairs to the throne room. She held his hand as much as she could, but it was hard, because she'd decided to pretend she was a rabbit and hop the entire way. Eris was so excited she could barely stand it, so she didn't. She hopped. Ares and Enyo were still there. Eris could hear them, and her anticipation grew. She bet Zeus had never seen anything like this before. “Look!” she said, when Ares and Enyo came into view. “Isn't it wonderful?”
