helpol is based on kharis, which is about the genuine exchange of what you have to give. so let's say person a expends 10% of their daily energy on a 30-minute ritual, and person b expends 10% of their daily energy on a 30-second silent prayer. the actual cost and effort are mathematically the same

You are called androphonos, killer of men. So too was Hector. So too was Achilles. For as men strike men, so the God of War strikes all. As heroes are called mighty, so too are You mighty, and in your might there is neither mercy nor malice, only the nature of War itself.

You are ptoliporthos, sacker of cities, as Odysseus was, as Achilles was, as Enyo is beside you. In their strength we see Your hand, in their triumphs and their grief, Your work. For war is Your craft, as clay to the potter, as bronze to the smith, You shape it, forge it, and are consumed by it in turn.

Ares, irresistible, uncontrollable, like storm winds breaking upon the sea. You rise, You fall, yet never are You undone. Even wounded, You return; even bound, You are loosed. No defeat holds You, no chain endures.

Ares, who spares neither friend nor foe, who deals his blows without favour, who is xynos, common to all mankind. You do not choose the worthy. You do not spare the beloved. You belong to no one, and to everyone. War comes to all, and in that, you are just.

Ares, paradigm of the warrior, You are both the force and the lesson. You are the order that collapses into chaos, and the chaos that gives birth to new order. You are control and fury, the one who governs and the one who breaks loose. You remind mortals that might is not mastery, and that no strength stands untested.
