I wince as I walk back into my room. Will Hekate keep her mouth shut? I honestly didn't know. I pull the cloth off. Oh... it makes me want to puke. I almost did this time. It's getting worse. I can't keep this secret anymore. It's burning my leg. It's burning my mind. I sit down on a chair and I let out a raspy breath. 

"What am I supposed to do?" I mutter.

All you have to do is not lose your head.

I jump. I look around.

"Who said that?" I ask.

I take up my staff and it glows brightly for a spilt second like a camera flash. It doesn't shake. So... I'm alone. There's no type of evil spirit or ghost around. It sounded like a dream in my head and the words weren't really clear.

Come back.

"Huh?" I look around.

Find the truth.

Truth? What truth?

Your father's lying to you.

"Huh?" I scratch my head.

Typhon.

"Typhon? He's long gone." I mutter. 

I hear a knock. I jump and slam into the roof accidentally.

"Hermes! We need to talk!" Athena yells.

"Um... why?" I call.

"Hekate called me!" Athena yells.

A drop of sweat drops from my head. 

"And...?" I ask nervously.

"Just open the door." Athena says.

"And if I don't?" I ask.

"That would not be wise." Athena says.

"Alright." I wince.

I limp over and I open the door slightly. Athena pushes past me and walks in without a second thought.

"I-" I start.

"Let's see the wound." Athena says.
