God of Speed

Eons ago, the Greek Messenger God was born, Hermes was the middle child of the family, being born after Ares and Athena, and before Aphrodite and Hephaestus.

As he grew up, Hermes had shown that he was completely incapable of feeling love and emotion towards anyone that wasn't his mother, Hera.

One day, Hermes was walking around the palace, he was still a child at this point, and still unable to express emotions towards anyone.

Hermes heard a soft humming as he walked through the halls of the palace on Mount Olympus, he looked around and pinpointed the humming was coming from his mother's room.

Hermes walked towards the door to see Hera was humming while knitting something that looked like gold, curious, he investigated.

Hermes: mama?

Hera looked over to her son and smiled warmly, she patted the spot on her bed next to her and spoke.

Hera: Hermes, come on over, I have a surprise for you.

Hermes waddled over to Hera and climbed up the bed to sit next to her, when he did, Hera continued back with her knitting.

Hermes: what is that mama?

Hera: you see Hermes, we are going to figure out what you will be the god of soon, and I wanted to make you something that you can keep with you.

Hera finished her work and took out the needles, she wrapped the cloth around Hermes, the design was golden with orchids sewn into the threads.

Hera: it's a scarf, it may be a bit big for your precious little self now, but you'll grow into it.

Hermes her the scarf close to him, snuggling into it, allowing himself to enjoy its warmth, it smelled like flowers, his favorite thing.

Hera: something tells me you like the scarf.

Hermes nodded and smiled brightly at his mother.

Hermes: I do, I really do, thank you mama.

Hermes threw himself at Hera and hugged her tightly, Hera was surprised at first, before chuckling and holding Hermes close.

Hera: my sweet, sweet child, I love you Hermes.

Hermes: I love you too mama.
