"It's me Ares, Xena" she replied calmly "But not the Xena of this time."
"The future or past?" he paused as he looked her up and down "I am sure Old Zeus would not be too happy to hear that".
"You don't believe me?" she challenged as she closed the space between them "I can prove it."
A lazy smile crossed his ageless face "and how would you go about that little one?" he asked as he was still silently appraising her.
It was Xena's turn to smile as she began circling the God "I have many skills" her voice softly caressed his ears.
He closed his eyes, there was a power radiating from her, pulling him to her, he had never felt anything like it before, yet it seemed familiar. He let the feeling of pleasure wash over him "exactly what kind of skills would that be my dear?"
She smiled, stopping directly in front of him, using the faint link between Chosen and God, she pulled him into a trance similar to what he had done to her on prior occasions "I can bring a God to his knees" she said softly as she reached up to trace his cheek "and make a God pray for release."
Slowly his passion filled dark orbs opened and locked with hers "then what are you waiting for?" he asked his voice rumbling with anticipation.
A curve of the lip, a lift of the eyebrow and his reaction a second to slow, Xena applied two quick jabs to his neck and instantly the God fell to his knees "What in Tartarus?" he managed as she struggled for breath.
She looked down on him "I need you humbled before I give the world to you Ares, you are far to cocky and vain at this point" she knelt next the collapsing God "you needed to be reminded of morality and the fleeting thing it represents" she lifted his chin to look her in the eyes "you won't die, you are after all a God, but it hurts doesn't it?" she asked, he managed a nod between struggles, his face red with pain "I have need of you God of War, but I need you to be the man I left in the future, not the pain in the ass you are now, do you think you can contain yourself long enough to hear this mere mortal woman out?" he again nodded in agreement. Xena again applied two quick jabs and released the pressure, he immediately fell forward gasping for air.
"I have never" he struggled to speak "felt pain" he managed as she helped him stand "you are not a mere mortal?" he asked.
"No Ares, I am your Chosen" she answered simply as she pulled him to a kiss. Letting down the guard on her mind, she let the memories pass of another life between them as the link of the Chosen was once again reinstated between them. She fell back and he barely caught her before she collapsed in faint from the power meld.
He stared down at the frail mortal in his arms, his mind reeling with all she had shared. She was his Chosen, his love, his reason for existence. Carefully he swung her up in his arms, cradling her against him "Princess" he said softly as he kissed the top of her dark head and they vanished from mortal eyes.
