Only one word was needed to describe Ares Mercier,

Apathetic.

He hated dealing with trivial things, and enjoyed the charm of a simple life. Most of his peers were steadily trying to get to the top at all cost. As the son of a well respected warlord & highly gifted healer, most would kill for the life and advantages he was given. Yet many still couldn't comprehend why his only ambitions in life consisted of reading and sleeping. Ares would practice and train only to please his family, and he wasn't worried about being the strongest or even the smartest. He just held a strong desire to learn as much as he could, in the easiest way possible.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

I decided to write seriously for once, and use this as a pass time for my summer break. This is my first story on Royalroadl, so I will accept CONSTRUCTIVE criticism that will improve my writing. Hope you enjoy this story despite the simple summary.
