By Zeus!

What dreadful fate

I am doomed to endure!

Disgraced, shamed and relocated

To earth??

Hades!

My true master;

Beguiled by Heracles;

He who ended my epic watch

With glee...

Now this!

Guard a mere man?

What shall become of me?

I find no purpose in this task

No pride!

Typhon!

Dearest father

I sacrifice a head

Should you plead with the gods for my

Pardon

Humans!

You may enter!

I am bored silly with

Castle White and your pitiful

Tyrant
