‘I told you to stay away.’

His words dripped with malice.

I gripped my sword tightly.

‘I saw what you did.

Send her back now,

and I will leave you in peace.’

His expression turned to amusement.

‘You cannot hurt me.’

I lifted my sword in his direction.

‘Do not challenge me.’

For a second

there was silence

and then he stepped forward,

rage clouding his features.

‘You will do nothing. I took her

by her father Zeus’ permission.’
