“Hermes!”
Athena adjusted her helmet, steeling herself for the challenge ahead. Surely, Hermes would be her toughest opponent yet. He was the god of tricksters, after all, and would certainly lie and cheat with a smile to get her to back down.

“You don’t need to convince me. Release him.”
“...What?” she asked incredulously.
“Release him,” the other god repeated. “I like that guy. Wanna see him again.”
Athena sighed, and moved on.
