Helios cringed at the mention of Kayla, but even the thought of that troublesome girl couldn't wash away the idea of war that played in his head. "If the pantheon goes to war, it won't just be against your people. Hogwarts, the ministry, even all the magicless muggles in London..it all burns." The war drums of Ares had once beat in his heart, but the girl before made him march to a different tune.

"If we do wed in Hogsmeade, we must return here. Though I wish to be rid of this place, there is evil afoot, and I have sworn to see it driven to the dark depths from which it crawled. Or die trying." There was no arguing with him. Helios had been such a nuisance to the wizards and witches of Hogwarts, he would not leave as anything but a valiant hero.
