Why in Olympus humans couldn't live among each other withut fighting? They always found something to fight for or about. From the greatest reasons of being free to the foolishest ones of not liking their neighbors. No matter what it was the reason, they were always fighting, attacking, killing and dying. One of the most ancient examples were those in the Middle East. They simply couldn't live in peace, what a sad idea, to never be able to live in peace... right?
Well, for someone like Pax, that was horrible, but for someone like Bellona, that was simply... normal and even healthy. Wars were the way that dear old Earth had to clean up a bit. it wasn't the nicest way but it was effective. Bellona didn't like the foolish kind of wars. But she respected those wars that were, before her eyes, just. Also as goddess of the international affairs, she was always or almost always away from home, checking other countries that could affect Rome.
She was in that moment away in the middle east where once and again they were in war and American soldiers were riskings their lives. She was looking at them hidden in the mist, wearing her goddess' armor.

Mars popped into being, right beside his sister. Unlike her, he was in his Military fatigues. He had a rifle slung over his shoulder with ease as he walked. He crossed his arms and adjusted the wrap around sunglasses that were on his face, the heat of the desert would have made him sweat if he were a mortal. He wasn't particularly bothered by it. His eyes did squint in the sun out of habit as he looked around with his arms crossed over his massive chest. He let out a small sigh as he looked around at what was going on.
"Well this is a craptastic shit storm." He said, his deep voice in a resounding manner from where they were standing. The wind whipped up and started to move the sand across the field that they were observing. But this was the normalicy that held the two siblings together. They were gods of war. This was their very essence. Every bullet shot, ever drop of blood shed in the name of war, no matter what the end goal was. Half of these souls would end up as tribute to the war god. That's how it worked. If someone fell in battle, there was always that chance their soul would be for the war god. He had use for them to. He'd never let them waste in oblivion.
Bellona was focusing her attention on a young soldier, he was fighting bravely, he wasn't the leader of his unit, but he definetely seemed it. He was saving his unit mates' lives. Bellona looked at the guy and blessed him. She wanted him to succeed to be capable to survive that fight, so he could continue serving her brother and herself. So he could still be a proud soldier at the service of War.
Then, when her brother showed up, a slight smile was seen on her face. She could sense Mars no matter where or when. Sometimes it was awkward, sometimes she knew when her brother was having a very... good time. But Mars could also sense her, it was something normal in them, twins... and very close ones. She listened to his comment and she chuckled. "It seems so, But that guy is a good prospect, don't you think?"
She then looked at him and smiled a bit more. "Don't tell me, you are the reinforcement that he and his unit had been waiting?" she asked and smiled again. Sometimes they also compited to know who would get a soldier for the afterlife. "I already gave him my blessing brother." smiles and looks at him again. "please tell me that soldier wasn't the only reason you came here." Her clothes had already changed to an infantery uniform, captain was the range she had in that one.
