Hermes's body went limp.
Kael stared down at him.
"All right, mailman. Brace yourself—we've got a delivery to make."
He tightened the chains around him.
"Time to drop you off at Daddy's doorstep."
Kael let out a soft smile—more bitter than amused—and stared into the distance.
His eyes locked onto the golden lightning as it tore through the dark clouds with a violent, thunderous boom.
He could feel it.
Zeus was watching.
He let out a dry, tired breath.
"Well, Hermes… looks like your daddy's pissed."
"No matter what—don't let go of the chain."
Kael let the words hang, then glanced down at Hermes—half amused.
"Wow… just gonna ignore me, huh?" he muttered, raising an eyebrow.
He glanced at Hermes's limp body, then smirked—sharp, full of amusement. Like he expected him to get up… but knew he wouldn't.
"Here I thought we had a moment."
A smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth—slow, amused.
"No worries. I'll just assume that means you're enjoying the ride."
