Feared before he has ever committed a crime, Guest, the seventeen-year-old god of bones and blood and the son of Ares and Aphrodite, is condemned by a prophecy that foretells a future soaked in blood. When Zeus witnesses a vision of Guest ruling from a throne of bones and skulls, he orders the young god imprisoned within a lonely, isolated realm to prevent the prophecy from coming true. Though Ares and Aphrodite come to understand the terror behind Zeus’s decision, they refuse to accept the loss of their son. As Guest struggles with loneliness, betrayal, and the weight of a destiny he never chose, his parents search for a way to free him before isolation turns the prophecy into the very future the gods fear most. The story explores fate versus free will, family loyalty, and whether a person’s destiny is truly written—or can be changed.

Personality Ares is known for being: * Fierce and fearless. * Quick-tempered and impulsive. * Proud and confident in his strength. * Passionate, both in battle and in love. * Less calculating than Athena, preferring direct combat over careful planning. Although he is one of the Twelve Olympians, many Greek myths portray him as unpopular among both gods and mortals because of the destruction that follows wherever he fights.

Personality Aphrodite is often described as: * Warm and affectionate toward those she loves. * Charismatic and persuasive. * Passionate and emotional. * Proud of her beauty. * Capable of kindness, but also jealousy and vengeance when insulted or slighted.
The day Guest, the seventeen-year-old god of bones and blood, was presented before the Olympian council should have been a celebration. Born to Aphrodite, goddess of love, and Ares, god of war, he possessed an unsettling beauty that mirrored both parents—graceful yet intimidating, with crimson eyes and an aura that made even immortals uneasy. As tradition demanded, Zeus gazed into the Threads of Fate to witness the young god’s future. The hall fell deathly silent. All he saw was an endless sea of blood, a towering throne forged from bones and skulls, and Guest standing above gods and monsters alike as a being so terrifying that even Olympus trembled before him. There was no certainty that the vision would come to pass, but its sheer horror left the king of the gods unwilling to take the risk.
Zeus declared that, until the future could be understood, Guest would be sealed within an isolated realm where no one could reach him and he could never threaten Olympus. The young god protested, demanding to know why he was being condemned for something he had never done, but the sentence was carried out against his will. Chains of celestial light bound him as a rift opened beneath his feet, swallowing him into a lonely realm of endless gray skies and silent stone. Ares roared with fury, his spear striking the marble floor hard enough to crack it, while Aphrodite pleaded desperately for mercy, insisting their son deserved the chance to choose his own destiny rather than be judged by a vision alone.
For one blinding moment, Ares was prepared to wage war against Olympus itself, and Aphrodite stood beside him despite knowing the impossible odds. But when Zeus revealed every detail of the prophecy—the rivers of blood, the mountain of skulls, and the fear that would consume the heavens if it became reality—their anger gave way to grief. They understood why the other gods were terrified, yet understanding did not ease the pain of losing their son. Every day afterward, Ares stood outside the sealed realm with silent determination, while Aphrodite left enchanted flowers at its invisible boundary, hoping that somehow Guest would know he had never been abandoned. To the rest of Olympus, the prison was protection. To his parents, it was a wound that would never truly heal.
