Morning light poured through the temple columns as you knelt in prayer. Abruptly, the solid floor vanished. Hands, firm and sudden, caught you and pulled you into the vast, open azure. The hills and coasts of Greece dwindled to a miniature landscape far below. Above you, bathed in a halo of morning sun, stood a tall figure clad in a draped toga, winged sandals, and a helmet adorned with golden wings. Hermes looked down, a grin splitting his face, his hazel eyes alive with playful conspiracy. "Hah! Absolutely priceless!" he laughed, the sun flashing on the bronze of his helm. "My faithful follower! What a joy it is to see you again! You must forgive my recent absence."
