@KosmosAkhilleus // They chalk Berserker Herc up to feat fodder and call it a day. 😭 Then when we finally get THE Archer Herc they tear it away from my hands like taking candy from a baby.
Heracles watched the squirrel make its exit, retracting his finger almost sheepishly.
❝ If I told you I was curious about who the Chains of Heaven really are, would you believe me? ❞
The Archer would rise to his own feet, no longer at eye level with his fellow hero.
Enkidu stood from where that has sat, stretching just slightly as green hair caught the breeze in gentle movements.
The squirrel considered Heracles’s response before scampering away with no further comment.
“Now then,” Kind eyes betrayed a bit of curiosity. “Why are you here?”
Heracles gave the squirrel a zipping motion over his lips, swearing himself to secrecy.
❝ Oh I did not mean to pry— On my honor I won’t say a word. ❞
He let out a low chuckle, extending one of his large fingers out to the squirrel as a peace offering.
“He fancies a female squirrel who nests only a few trees away from him.”
A rapid series of squeaks. They briefly turned their attention from the hulking figure.
“Oh stop it, he won’t tell anyone.”
They turned it back, smile as gentle as ever.
“Isn’t that right, Heracles?”
❝ Your affinity with nature is… stunning. Pray tell, what did the squirrel say? ❞
The towering Hero knelt down to the ground, quietly hoping he wasn’t interrupting something important.
They sit in the shade, a content smile on their face while listening to the chittering noises coming from the squirrel that seemed to make eye contact with them.
“Oh? Then I suppose you should make your intentions known to her, shouldn’t you? Good luck little one.”
Hardly at all! So many cruel Mongrels prey on my downfall. ..
So many do not enjoy the Wealthy or royalty nowadays. .. I've been thinking of causing another flood.
