Both of the elder immortals glanced at each other.  Ares shrugged as he glanced back at Calista.  Her eyes once more dropping to take in every inch of her from her pure white hair to her long, shapely legs.  His reaction to her was kind of predictable.  "I like this idea," he said casually before glancing over at Hermes.<br/><br/>Hermes shook his head emphaticly.  "I dont.  What?  Is violence the answer to everything for you?" he snorted at Ares.  Seemingly visibly shaken by even the shadow of such a suggestion.  Ares smiled knowingly, all three knew what his answer was.  "Of course it is.  Why am I even asking you this?  Why dont we make that a 'Plan B', whachasay?"  He seemed disturbed fidgetting as he swayed one way and then the other before finally turning and setting himself to proceed ahead into the hole in the ground they had just uncovered.<br/><br/>Ares hand came down to gripping Hermes smaller shoulder, keeping him from taking point.  "Wait,<em>airboy</em>," he said, stopping the ageless Immortal from taking point.  "You should stay out here.  Keep this passage at our backs safe.  Its the best plan," Ares said confidently.  He was the tactical genius of the threesome.  Hermes being an Immortal of the air would be of little use underground as well as avoiding a battle on two fronts.  Hermes facial expession soured a bit as he as his hyperactive mind played through several scenarios and noticed the same chain of thinking.  He looked like he was about to say something, but instead he nodded his agreement.  Ares smiled as he glanced back toward Calista before flicking his arm downward.  A magnificent long sword manifested instantly, as if he had somehow dropped it out of his nonexistent sleeve.  Waving it casually, it lit up the entire blade with fire to act as a torch to alight the passage ahead.  "Are you ready?"  As soon as she indicated she was, Ares turned to lead them into the cavern ahead of them.<br/><br/>As they started, Hermes couldnt help calling back after them.  "Dont let Ares talk you into 'Plan B'."  Right after that, he heard something moving in the dense forests around the base of the mountain.  Turning, he alighted his caduceus... expecting trouble.
