Hermes

I pulled up short at the sight of a dozen Empousas outside my brother’s old shire. My entire body jerked at the presence of massive power, unlike even the gods. What the fuck had the bastard gotten himself into now?

“Shit!” Poseidon shook his head beside me. “Empousas, here? What do they want with Dionysus?”

The wind currents carrying us faltered and I cursed, drawing up my magic to keep us in the air. “Whatever it is, it’s so not good.”

“I knew we should’ve ignored his text message.” Poseidon frowned. “No doubt he’s drunk and trying to seduce a demon of Hecate’s or something.”

The scent of the underworld clung heavily in the air. It smelled of graveyard miasma, rotting corpses, and blood. My brother’s message had sounded urgent. “He wouldn’t have contacted us both for a mere squabble even with a Titan.”

Poseidon shrugged. “Guess we’ll go see what all the fuss is, eh?”

“Yeah. Sounds like fun.” Using my super speed, I dashed closer to the Empousas. “Hey, demon ladies, bet you can’t catch me.”

One closest to me growled, but I flashed her my most charming smile. As a messenger of the gods, I was swifter than any bird and if I wanted, faster than the human’s jets too. Though their technology blew me away with growing envy.

“Hermes,” she screeched. “Leave before Hecate adds you to our fodder.”

I shrugged. “She’d have to catch me first.”

“That can be arranged,” a second Empousa flew forward.

Poseidon coughed. “Not to break up this…meeting but all we want is our brother.”

“Stepbrother, isn’t it? And all we want is the girl. Give her to Hecate and you all will live.” The Empousa’s black wings flapped.

“Girl? A human?” I asked. Why would Dion call us here for help if all the witch queen titan wanted was a mortal?

“There must be some mistake,” Poseidon lowered his trident. “Our brother wouldn’t interfere in Hecate’s plans with some mere girl.”

“Then why did he run from me and bring the girl here to his sanctuary?” A large Empousa with a partially tattered wing asked and I could only guess that my brother had fought with her to have her be damaged like that.

“I don’t know.” I paused. “Let us go and speak with him.” There had to be a reason for all of this. Or our brother was just being his usual, selfish, egotistical self and had found a pretty young girl to share his bed. She was probably a witch and Hecate had claimed her as one of her priestesses.

“Our mistress is already discussing how he will die,” the Empousa laughed.

Anger flared in my veins. How dare they harm him even if they do report to Hecate. Dion had gone through enough shit in his lifetime. He didn’t need more.

“A lift please?” Poseidon gripped his trident tighter. Unless we wanted to unleash a tsunami onto Greece, he’d be stuck on the ground fighting and the Empousas were in my domain…the air.

“Gotcha covered.” I tossed an air pocket underneath him and he soared up to the closest Empousa, impaling her with his three-pronged weapon.
