"Please let him go!" Athena screams.

I feel Hermes wince as he clutches my neck.

"Don't be so childish." I say.

"Typhon stop!"  Hyrac yells.

I dodge her hand. My snakes wrap around him. They wrap around his neck. He gasps for air.

"I wouldn't struggle that much; it'll only make it tighter." I hiss in his ear.

"Please...don't..." He winces.

One snake bites his neck. He winces.

"Hermes!" Athena screams.

"You had your chance, now it's my turn." I say.

Apollo and Athena charges. I shoot air from my mouth. It knocks them down.

"You...you...." Hermes winces.

"You what?" I ask.

I shoot backward.

"I didn't do this. You destroyed your home. For what? For the havoc I will bring? Hah. You caused it." I say.

"Please..." He starts.

<~> <~> <~>

"Don't...do...this..." I say.

"You don't have the power to stop me, little bird." Typhon says.

"Please..." I say.

"Hermes!" Athena charges.

"Let my little brother go!" Ares charges.

"And if I don't?" Typhon shoots his hand forward.

Blackness shoots out. Athena dodges but it slaps Ares.

I see fire. I see my home burning. I caused it. Tears fall from my eyes. What have I done? I try to reach for my staff. Typhon yanks it out of my hand. I slam my elbow into his chest. He startles and the grip loosens. I grab my staff. Typhon's snakes turn me over to him. He glares at me.

"You're going to regret that!" Black fire wraps around his fist.

He slams his fist into me. I let out a scream.

"Hermes!" I hear.

I start hurdling into the ground and slamming into the ocean.
