DC, your Arekah story brought back so many exhilarating and terrifying memories. Arekah was so physically powerful, she lifted me (165 pounds) with her hands by the neck, and asked "What's to stop me from putting you against the wall and having my way with you?"
"Nothing." Was all I could manage to say.
Once, she dropped me on my back on the floor, then picked me up using just her upper body strength. She didn't angle her shoulder under me and hoist me up, she just picked me up like a bale of hay. I was dead weight, so twice as hard to lift. She dropped me on her shoulder. "Ooof!" I said, the wind was knocked out of me. Then she hopped up so I went up and came down on her shoulder. There was no wind left in me to be exhaled. My arms and legs dangled. She handled me like a bag of seed. It was a display of strength that beyond my experiences before or since.
Honestly, any time a question on this board is asked "Who was the best at...?" the answer is always Arekah.
Arekah.
Arekah was the best.
