As I moved closer, Cat turned to look at me and I felt a small amount of happiness ripple across my numb body as I knew I was going to help her smile again, but this wasn’t what Cat saw. XXX I regret having ever called you my brother Hermes, you were weak and didn’t deserve that title. What Cat saw before her was my body covered entirely with the branches from the mark save for my face and my eyes were glazed over with a yellow glow. With tears streaming down her face, Cat held Hermes’s head in her arms as he tried to speak once more. Once she responded, Cat was quickly, to her confusion, hoisted up over Hermes’s shoulder before being carried to Lukos’s back, leaving myself and Hermes’s winged shoes lying on the ground.
