Aries didnt see the problem.  "Who cares?  Theres over seven billion of them.  How different can they be from each other?"  He was always one to see numbers, ammounts, relative values.  He didnt understand any kind of delicate individual beauty humankind might have... anymore than how most people understand the differences between two identical worker bees from the same hive.<br/><br/>It was right then that a swirling tight whirlwind of fire began to streak across the sky ripping the air as it arched downward so quickly and mercurially mortal technology would be unable to track it.  Zipping into the small paradice, it struck an area exploding a firey ball which charred a circle with some of the edges burning.  Right in the middle of this stood Hephaestus clad in his mighty armor and on one knee.  His massive hammer laid head down before him with both hands resting on its pommel.  Standing with no effort and lifting the hammer as if it weighed nothing, he stepped forward out of the burning circles of fire.<br/><br/>"This... is how I am to hear of my daughter's attack?  Hermes catches wind of this from the whispers of nymphes?  I should have been notified...<strong>immediately.  It... Is... My... RIGHT.</strong>"  As his voice rose the whole island experienced a seismic shock as he hefted his hammer from shoulder to shoulder before making a point by letting its head drop to the ground, his rage manifesting in effects caused by weilding so much weight so casually.<br/><br/>Aries took the challenge very literally.  Standing up and interposing himself between Calista and Hephaestus, he glanced over angrily at the nymphes.  "Ill deal with all of you... later..."  They immediately ran... leaping as a group and shifting into dolphins and swimming swiftly out into the depths to tempt Poseidon's attentions rather than suffer the wrath of Aries.  Turning cooly back to Hephaestus, Aries was one of the few in the world who had no fear of Hephaestus.  He could only stand there... his smouldering dark looks could fill volumes, which Aries always loved to dangle over him.  "She didnt call out for you in her time of need... she called my name.  I was only respecting her choice."<br/><br/>Both men looked angry enough to come to blows.  With both of them so ancient and emotional, such a battle would undoutably destroy the whole island.  Neither seemed willing to back down.<br/>
