Hang on, wasn't that person we encountered at the park called Heracles?" 'You fought?...' she trails off, looking at Asariel. He nods.

'We fought the Son of the Lightning God, yes.'

She whistles in surprise.

'And you survived?... Yes, Chiron taught that monstrosity, when he was still a handsome and kind man. The hero of Greek myth, before he became a horrible thing.' Izaak thinks for a moment.

"I think I've heard a few of the stories.

What happened to Heracles that made him so... homicidal?

And do you know the origin of these abilities?"

'Well, that's a difficult question. If you've heard the stories of Heracles, you know he hasn't had exactly the best of lives. His madness from the deaths of his wives and children: that's what destroyed him in the end. He suffers eternally from the poison of the Hydra, too.'

She nods after a moment.

'Of course I know the origins of the powers you wield. Each hero and villain has a legend, yes? You might say these powers are that legend, manifesting themselves in the world. A person with telekinesis might have the legend of a scientist in their soul, while a plague-bringer might have the story of Moses as the base of his abilities. It varies, but I can usually tell.'
