Epimetheus had no quarrel with Zeus,

He lived quite happily amongst the other Greek gods and goddesses.

Zeus however, had been angered by the actions of man and Prometheus.

He sought to punish them with seven deadly sins.

Epimetheus was drawn indirectly into this punishment.

The hand on my wrist tightened, never letting go

The hand on my wrist tightened, never letting go. Epimetheus smile was uncanny as they roamed down my body, making me want to puke. "Let's get you out of here, shall we?"

"Don't touch me!" I thrust out my hands, willing my ability unto my fingertips. He teleported to a farther distance at the last second, laughing as he went.

All around, Zion, Liam, and Pharoah were killing off the beast-sized crocottas one by one. They kept coming, dividing like body cells and never relenting. The good news was, they were dwindling in size. The rate of dead crocottas superceeded their rate of division. I was amazed at the speed Zion, Liam, and Pharoah administered their killing blow.

Epimetheus circled me. His new body was wearing cargo shorts and a summer t-shirt with a matching bucket hat. "For a second I was worried you were going to teleport yourself out of here. But as I predicted, there's no way you'll leave until you are sure Pedro is safe. And that weakness of yours is the one thing that will ensure my victory. It's not too late to run."

"I'm not a coward like you," I snarled. I promised Pedro I was going to get him out of here and I intend to do just that. My eyes searched the titan's body, looking for anything on him that may be connected to Poseidon. There was nothing. If I was going to get the sea god out of here, I'd have to first break through that stupid barrier.

Epimetheus hummed in thought. "I did tell you that I could get back Hunter so long as you're here. Want me to prove it?"

Out of the corner of my eyes, I witnessed Liam disemboweling two huge crocottas at once while Pharoah crushed one crocotta with his Gravity-like abilities. With every flash of daylight, I knew Zion had also succeeded in burning a crocotta to crisp.
