    Summary

    Odysseus would be waking up some time soon, probably in under twelve hours. While that didn’t leave Hermes with a lot of time to work with, since when did Hermes need a lot of time? He was the messenger god for a reason.

    It had been a couple days since his wings had fluttered to their usual rhythm, but he could still fly just fine.

    Or, Hermes doesn’t take care of himself, so Odysseus has to convince him to

    Summary

    He's about to head off when Odysseus stops him with a thank you. Hermes stills, tilting his head slightly, "Don't thank me friend, I'm not the one who fought for you," he offers, bemused; he'd have gone directly to the power behind the throne.
    Hera might not like Zeus' bastard children, but she does generally hear them out before trying to smite them.
    These days.

    "Then who..?" Odysseus murmurs, and Hermes' heart breaks, just a little. He truly can't imagine that anyone would fight for him. And why would he? From what Hermes' heard through the grapevine, last he knew, Athena was no longer his mentor, let alone his friend.

    Hermes sighs, internally, lest his great-grandson get the wrong idea, before dropping down to sit on the raft with Odysseus.
    Looks like he's really doing this, then.


    Or: What else was Hermes meant to do? Not invite himself along to the end of a twenty year journey?
    Please, it's practically his job!

    Summary

    “For you to take the fate of that Greek into your own hands–” The Greek… “– what gives you the right, trickster?” Wait… “– believing you are of my caliber to make such decisions of divine intervention?” Oh.

    Odysseus.

    Of course. He remembers now. The summons. Zeus’ anger. Talk of his actions on Aeaea. And then pain. Punishment. Divine retribution. It shakes him to his core, but… this was his great-grandson they were talking about. What else was he supposed to do?

    Summary

    Everything burned, searing hot. Nothing but painfully bright darkness surrounded him, and he tried to move, to say something, anything, but his body couldn’t, wouldn’t move, wouldn’t respond.

    The worst part, he couldn’t do anything. He couldn’t just try harder, be faster, smarter, better.

    He was trapped.

      “You need to go.” Apollo murmured upon releasing him. “It’s not safe for you here. I’ll find you when it’s all over, I promise.”

       

      Hermes climbed up onto the windowsill without a thought– he didn’t really have a choice anyway. The cool wind tugged at his tunic and curls, his wings flicking upwards against the light force.

       

      “... I’ll go.” Finally, he spoke. “But only for a little while.”

       

      Apollo nodded, reaching to grab the messenger’s wrist and giving it a light squeeze. “That’s all we need.”
