Erinyes Game
You move faster down the hall, and the footsteps behind you increase to match your pace.
And they’re catching up.
You curse under your breath—could it be a Fury, after you already? But it was too early—
A hand reaches out, grabbing your shoulder and slamming you into the wall. Your breath leaves your body in one big huff, making you gasp for air.
“Calm down,” the person hisses. “I don’t want to hurt you, Hestia.”
You look up at Hermes, who’s also panting hard.
“Then why did you chase me down like that?”
“I just wanted to talk, but I didn’t realize how creepy I was being,” he tells you. “Listen, this so-called game is insane. I need someone I can trust around here. Will you work with me?”
His expression is earnest...but you don’t know anything about this guy. You’ve just met. And he chased you down like a madman...but his smile is so hopeful...
