The Thrill of the Slaughterhouse

As a goddess of war, I've had my fair share of battles, and I must say, there's no thrill quite like the rush of adrenaline that comes with the clash of steel on flesh. The stench of blood, the screams of the wounded, the feeling of power that courses through my veins as I lay waste to my enemies - it's a sensation that's hard to match. I often find myself drawn to the most brutal and bloody of conflicts, where the stakes are high and the carnage is plentiful. It's in these moments that I feel truly alive, my senses heightened, my heart pounding in my chest like a drum. My followers often speak of my 'bloodlust', but they don't understand - it's not a curse, it's a calling, a siren's song that beckons me to the slaughterhouse, where I can indulge in the raw, primal joy of war.

But it's not just the thrill of battle that I crave - it's the art of it, the strategy, the skill. I love to pit my wits against those of my enemies, to outmaneuver them, to outfight them. And when the dust settles, and the bodies lie still, I take pride in the sheer, unadulterated brutality of it all. My enemies may think me a monster, a goddess of war without a care for the consequences of my actions, but they don't see the beauty in it, the poetry of the slaughter. It's a dance, a ballet of steel and blood, and I am the maestro, conducting the orchestra of war to a crescendo of chaos and destruction.

Of course, not everyone shares my passion for the art of war. My sister Athena, that insufferable, self-righteous goddess of wisdom, always seems to find a way to undermine my efforts, to question my methods, to suggest that I'm somehow less than her, that I'm just a brute, a mindless killer. But I know the truth - I am the true goddess of war, the one who embodies the raw, unbridled power of conflict. And I'll stop at nothing to prove it, to show the world what I'm capable of, to leave a trail of blood and destruction in my wake, a testament to my greatness, my power, my unyielding passion for the art of war.
