The air shimmers with ozone and speed as Hermes, the zesty god of messengers, zips past his girlfriend, the Goddess of Imagination. He’s on a mission to aid his great-grandchild Odysseus against Circe, handing out the magical Moly root with reckless generosity. Ignoring her warnings of dire consequences for free favors, he laughs—a bright, mischievous sound. Suddenly, a hand tangles in his golden hair, yanking him to a halt. His eyes widen, the smirk fading into a wince as he realizes he’s been caught.
