Hermes was a bit impatient.<em>"This.  This.  All of this over here. <span class="bbc_u"> Its not even supposed to be here</span>."</em>Getting aggrevated, the golden haired child-like immortal spun around in frustration as he sceamed out.  Kicking a nearby tree as he blurred.  A great wind rushed... obeying the will of a wind immortal... ripping the tree out of the ground.  It spun as it ripped through the foilage, tearing gouges in the trees around as the winds whipped them about... spinning the tree over and over in a lazy arc taking far out into the sea.<em>"Literally... if he were anywhere else in the world... your blood would have taken us directly to him.  <span class="bbc_u">But this..</span>"</em>Stopping in mid sentence, his eyes cut left and right as he just as quickly shifted emotions again.<em>"<span class="bbc_u">This is</span>... that is why he was placed here."</em>The implications were even more disturbing the longer one reflected.<br/><br/>Seeming to just then realize what Calista said, he peered off into the distance.  Waving in the air, he distorted space between them in a lens like effect as he inspected the area ahead.  Courteously allowed the effects to be quite large... letting Calista see whatever he was seeing as he easily scanned the area.  The jungles were too thick, though.<em>"I cant... see where its comming from.  Cant see through foilage.  We will need to..."</em>Suddenly Hermes stopped.  Glancing both directions, he then pointed with his tiny staff at Calista and then down toward the ground as his other hand gave the 'keep quiet' gesture with his finger over his lips.  Picking up a couple of stones, he continued.<em>"We will need to go that way,"</em>he said non-chalantly as he tossed the pebbles over the ground directly ahead of them.<br/><br/>It was right then that three huge, disgusting monstrocities... giant dark, bristly spiders with some bodily aspects of women leaped up converging on the path directly ahead of Hermes from trapdoors they had woven into the scenery ahead.  Hermes could only giggle.  Twirling his caduceus, a bluish colored jet of force fired from its end like a torch.  The arachne twirled in mid air as they recovered quite dexterously, grasping at tree limps they had leaped into.  One scuttled along the ground as two others hung from the trees where the carefully staged ambush had been set.  They were reevaluating the twosome, trying to ascertain how edible they were.  They chirped to each other.  Hermes couldnt help but provoke them.<em>"Who knew the Arachne were as stupid as they were ugly."</em><br/><br/>Being as senstive as the Arachne were known to be, they screached at each other before all three charged at Hermes.  One galloped quickly over the ground, the others using branches.  All were using thier natural dexterity, strength, and multiple limbs to move swiftly to bring thier venom to bear on the haughty immortal.  Glancing back at Calista, he couldnt help but wink at her.<em>"Watch this,"</em>he said capricously as he raised his caduceus up like a torch saluting in the darkness.  Then he blurred.  It looked almost as if he split into three and rushed out at all three of the arachne and sliced them all in half simultaneously.  In truth, he had just moved so quickly it was hard to see the whole sequence of events without millions of dollars of equipment to photograph or thousands of years of immortal development to percieve.  The results were instantaneous as all three of the monstroncities simply split and fell into green piles of viscera.<br/><br/>In a blur, Hermes appeared again.  He moved so quickly not a drop of the venomous blood had touched him.  Extinquishing his rod, he glanced around more cautiously.<em>"Seems we found where some of the titanspawn have been going,"</em>he contemplated grimly and a bit quietly.  Obviously making noise here would only stir more trouble.  It was odd, though.  At that very moment, perhaps a bit distant from where they stood, both Calista and Hermes could hear the sounds of battle a bit of a distance from where they stood.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>OOC Notes<br/>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Greek_mythological_creatures
