Sitting inside the small castle causes him to be on edge. He had to come outside to exercise and let out his frustration. His mind is racing with thoughts. He has to protect Alessia from Cronus and his father Hades now too.
Her powers are currently sealed, and the option to send her back to the human world is laughable. She would be a walking target there.
Zagreus could feel the sweat on his forehead and the adrenaline pumping through his veins. He had faced countless battles in the underworld, but this one was different. His enemy was his flesh and blood.
Hades had always been a strict and distant father, but never had Zagreus imagined that he would turn against him. He couldn't return to the underworld, and with Hades back on the throne, Zagreus had no choice but to leave.
Donn, his brother, doesn't need to know what occurred, nor does Apollo. The fewer others know, the better it will be for Alessia.
