Aries let the punch connect.  His and her relationship was always complex and loaded with issues.  He liked it messey that way, though.  She seemed to like it as well.  He dreamed of one day being able to actually fight her and not have to hold back, but she was at least a milleninum away from that level of power.  Until then, this was the best he could do with her... mere sparring so as not to damage her too severely.  Though she moved quite quickly and athletically, her movements were as slow to his processes as the sway of grasses to the wind.  He could only smile.<br/><br/>Calista had started this.  She knew Aries... knew of his dark appetites and she had teased him and then struck out at him.  She might as well engraved an invitation in marble and bronze and had it delivered to him.  She wanted this... Aries wasnt sure why.  The exact workings of the female mind were beyond his comprehension, just as it should be.  People batted around terms like 'daddy complex' and such as if this explained everything but the truth was only one woman understood her own mind at any moment.  Aphrodite kept her mysteries to herself until the day she unmade herself.  Aries had to respect that.  One could see patterns, though, but such were only educated guesses which might at any moment be rendered antiquated.  Somehow in all of these lovely and intriguing patterns Calista found a very dark function for her times with Aries.  Such was the complex lives of immortals.<br/><br/>In a blur, he seemed to disappear.  Choosing his moment precisely he posisioned himself in front of Calista, using all of her momentum was generating squarely upon her solar plexis.  Reaching out his arm, he locked himself into the very fabric of creation effectively making himself unmovable then allowed Calista to run directly into his haymaker.  There were a lot of advantages to having such incredible strength, speed, and accuracy.  Aries could very effectively whirwind his way through forty spawn at a time in seconds.  He might not have had Hephaestus' raw strength, but in combination with his other physical abilities he felt more than a match for his brother in combat.  Calista was only a light work out for someone of his abilty.  Still... when few could stand in the glory of his combat prowless... any exercise he got to have would only make him smile even more to himself.<br/><br/>Feeling her smack into him, her body tumbling through the air slowly for him to watch dispassionately.  Once again, he chose the right moment, taking her arm, he twisted and threw her to the ground, stepping over her he pulled her painfully.  Applying more of his strength to her then he had ever before.  Aries only chose to settle the use of his strength only once he felt a slight give.  Looking down, he easily could chose to observe the structure of her skeletal system.  Her humberous was used as a lever to pin her to the ground.  The bone was still in one piece though a very long spirally fracture now decorated the superior half, just below the ball joint of her shoulder.<br/><br/>Holding her down this way, he could feel her tremble in pain.  Aries could only tssk her disappointedly.  "I thought an arrangement had been made.  You got me riled up.  You could have just walked away, but no... you didnt want that.  You wanted...<em>this.</em>"  As he said the final word he applied just a slight bit more pressure on Calista's spiral fracture.  He was so excited at the moment... the adrenaline, the raw physical violence, the extreme sexuality of her nakedness as she layed pinned beneath him.  Aries was ready to take her right then.
