“Remember ussss?” they hissed at him, literally.
Hermes watched Elektris vanish in a burst of white lightning.
He turned his attention back to the two goddesses. Of course he remembered them.
Stheno and Euryale, the daughters of the Celestials Keto and Phorcys.
There had actually been three of them.
“You’ll pay for what you did to Medusssa!” Stheno hissed at him and a thin forked tongue slid through her tiny sharp teeth.
“You brought that upon yourself,” Hermes evenly responded.
This sort of personal grudge actually had its origins dating back to the first Ultimate Speedverse battle, the one that took place back on Hermes’s and the rest of the gods’

A few leaves fell to the grass covered ground where a cow was busy feeding on it.The sky was partly cloudy and the midday sun could be seen with its bright yellow rays penetrating through the whiteness.Back on the ground, the fallen leaves began to stir and so did the grass.The air around it suddenly felt disturbed and the cow, with its black and white fur, sensed this and began to move away from that area.The disturbance increased up to a point that the leaves were then levitating and swirling wildly as if an invisible twister had just formed up.They swirled faster and faster, picking up speed until something stranger began to manifest.Right in the middle of th

Turning her head to the left, Natasha’s blue eyes were then looking at a thin, dark-haired boy and was shorter than both her and Lucas. He looked to be about around twelve to fourteen years old and just like Lucas—as Natasha noticed—was clad in a similar apparel of a loose pasty white shirt and brown rumpled pants. “You’re awake!” the boy beamed and Natasha caught his inflected accent. “Yeah,” Lucas responded, introducing Natasha to the boy. “this is Sang.” -“Hi, Sang,” said Natasha - “he’s the one who found us when we-we. . .got here.” “Already walking,” said Sang, his light brown face still beaming, looking at Natasha, “that progress very good.” Natasha then turned from Sang t

Don't know where to start—”His voice trailed off and he turned his head towards the open wooden door.Both Natasha and Lucas followed his gaze and were soon staring at a tall man of slim built but a lean body covered in large baggy brown pants and a long white shirt with a Mandarin collar similar to that of Natasha's silk dress. The shirt had its sleeves rolled up to his elbows and was holding in his right hand a bundle of three silvery slabs that glinted sleek in the light. They were fish.The man said something to Sang that neither Natasha nor Lucas could understand, but Lucas suspected he was speaking in Nepalese.Sang spoke back to hi

Natasha, Lucas and Sang were setting down a small round table at the heart of the village which was one of the many similarly placed tables—about twenty of them—all positioned in a circular manner such that there was a vast empty space in between. Sang had gone on to explain what was particularly happening that night. The night that had Natasha wear an immaculately flowing dark red dress, decorated with white lotus flowers and large jade buttons cascading from the Mandarin collar at her neck all the way to her ankles. Even her blond hair had been done, pulled t

She then got the urge to pull herself out of bed after which came the hard part—standing. Natasha heaved herself up ever so painfully, fighting through her upset legs and finding the walking staff that Sang had give her, propped its arm rest under her right shoulder and the pressure on her legs loosened. She exhaled and made for the door. Outside, Natasha could see people going about their business in the rising sun that was barely visible over the horizon. She realized that she had gotten up a bit earlier. Cows were being herded out onto the small patches of grass while others were being milked. A young boy ran with a scruffy looking dog away from the village before stopping to lap at water from a flowing

A V E R Y L O U D thumping suddenly emanated. It was coming from the village’s entrance. It sounded like a hundred hammers all hitting the ground alternatingly and the ground shook, dust quickly levitating and clouding the night air. Something else accompanied the hammering noise. Strange snorting noises similar to that of a breathing animal—about a dozen of them.The once tranquil vicinity and night of silence was plunged into a noisy mayhem when there came a very shrill cry that was enough to send both Natasha and Lucas springing up in bed as well as the rest of the villagers.“What the hell was that?” Lucas asked, the enstranged look on Natasha's face telling him she had heard it too.“I&md

No. This could be felt and seen all over the planet. It had started with the strange visuals coming from the skies. Terrified people from San Francisco were hurrying to evacuate California, moving into Mexico and Canada after the attack on the Golden Gate bridge which then lay split in half, both of its ends dipping into the Pacific. Others from Nigeria reported having seen what they could only associate with the Devil, stating that demons had tore through Lagos Island, wreaking havoc and unleashing chaos as they did so. This was also similar in Brazil after a bright white light had been spotted pouring out of the sky over the city of Rio d

“Y O U W I L L D I E for that!” Hermes spoke with words that came out as pure rage. He had said shortly before summoning all of his might and burst through the wrecked ground, moving so fast that debris was sailing all around him. He had just witnessed the supposed death of Viper and Lucas, having seen how Elektris had used Reign on them, destroying them to nothing. He rammed hard into Elektris, sending both of them flailing high up into the night air. His hair billowed against the wind and was no longer crowned with his petasos which had fallen off his head back at the park. Hermes was blinded with fury, delivering blow after blow that sent the goddess even higher into the air until Atlanta was no longer in sight. Elektris reeled backwards with every blow, most of which connected with her jaws and flashes of blue lightning would ripple out with every attack. One would
