Erinyes Game
Hephaestus and Aphrodite exchange a look. You put your cards down, getting their attention. “This is going to sound crazy, but Hermes actually wrote something on his sheets in his own blood.”
“What?” Hephaestus frowns.
“Yeah…he wrote the letter A. I think it has to do with the real identity of one of the Furies.”
“If Ares, Zeus, and Athena were the three Furies, the game would already be over,” agrees Hephaestus. “But there are multiple people whose name begins with A.”
“I fall in that category,” says Aphrodite nervously. “You don’t really think I’m a murderer, do you?”
You shake your head. “I’m thinking it’s one of the others.” You tell them your plan for judgement that night, and they’re on your side.
The three of you spend the rest of the time talking about nothing, counting down the minutes until judgement.
