"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"The better question is, what are you doing here?" He asks.
"I fell." I say looking around.
"I meant why are you here?" He asks.
"Did Zeus set you up to this Hermes?" I ask.
"No, no, no. I'm not here on my father's orders. I'm here for myself." He says.
"Uh-huh..." I turn.
"Which way are you planning on going? Left or right?" He asks.
"I'm not sure." I say.
"I can get you out of here old friend." He says.
"You and I were never friends." I say.
"I'm heartbroken." He says.
"Like I care." I turn.
He jumps down and grabs me.
"Come on, wouldn't you like-" He starts.
"No." I shove off of him.
"You listened before." He flutters over.
"You led me to the witch which led me to the underworld that led me to nothing." I say.
"Oof. You said led three times." He says.
"I'll say it more if I have to." I say.
I start walking. He runs in front of me.
"Hey, hey. Listen, I'm here to help." He says.
"Really?" I raise an eyebrow.
"Yeah. Zeus was right. It is chaos back home. You've got the whole of us wondering if you'll live or die, but I vote for you." He says.
"I'm touched." I roll my eyes.
"Come on. I liked your speech." He says.
"I've learned better." I say.
"Yeah... sure. I get you out of this maze, better yet I can get everyone out." He offers me his hand.
I let out a breath. Time is off the essence.
"Fine." I take his hand.
