The noises remained persistent, rising with every second that passed. It seemed everyone had eventually forgotten that it was a contest. The crowd was roaring continuously and the spectators were beaming with smiles with no one in doubt that Titan's reign would still remain intact by the end of this duel. It was now the perfect time to strike.The weary expression could be seen in Titan's face. He was not the same giant who walked like a demon into that ground, he now looked tired and exhausted and perhaps thought it was time to end this entire joke and give himself some rest.After being thrown all around for almost an hour, everyone expected that Hermes should be the weakest man in that dungeon. But not all thoughts are true in actual fact, especially when it came to taking a beating. Hermes had learnt to endure the severest forms of torture while still reserving his strength for contest. It was very simple, like the American super hero would say; He could do this all day!"Finish h

Meanwhile, crawling like a new born baby, Hermes pushed his chest flat against the ground and made tt out of the human wall which had gathered to meet him. By the time anyone could lay their eyes on him again, he was already ascending up the stairs past the half empty seats of the angry disorganized audience and towards the main door."There he is, you fools!" Swiss screamed into a speaker lying on the table before him. It had always been there, but only now did he ever think to make use of it."Get him before he gets away!!" He continued shouting orders.There were two men standing guard to the main door which was left open and wide for entry and exit. They were very huge men, and each one of them had a dark pair of glasses cutting through his facial expression.When they realized that Hermes was the one approaching and that he might be trying to escape, they jumped forward to grab him at once but then he suddenly turned in another direction into the crevices of audience chairs. It

The police car zoomed along the street of the city of Caveolina. Sniff himself had taken the mantle of the driving wheel. He thought hard about what the man he met in the hospital had told him.When he asked to see the old man's poisoned dead body, Howard had denied having the body in the hospital in Caveolina. "Twillightoria where the big cases always end up", he had said to Sniff in the most disapproving of ways.Sniff could not wait to get more information about this dead man and what his relationship with Hermes and Haisley was. Speaking of Hermes, he still did not have full knowledge of this person or how he really looked like. Judging by Howard's description, he knew the person would be a around six feet tall and most probably a spectacular fighter. But that was just about it. He had no more clues.The only group of people that could provide him with the information he needed that moment were all irreproachable.Another one of these people who could provide an insight to this d

"Where are you?"A chuckle is received from the other end. Then a voice spoke, a dark thick voice which did not sound like that of a normal person. "Really, Detective Sniff? I thought the first question ought to be about who I am."Sniff put the phone on loudspeaker and set it in the middle of the car. The two men listened attentively to the voice from the other end."My ways are quite different." Sniff replied, trying hard to decipher the person's real voice from the thick rumbles that accompanied the phone call."Still, you should want to know who I am". The person said again. And the two men wondered if there was any special thing attached to his identity. By the way, being police officers, they both knew that he would not reveal his identity if they decided to ask. No one would. Thus there was no point in throwing the question."That will come on a platter of silver once I find you first. Why don't we talk, Mr Anonymous? I am certain we have a lot to talk about. Would you like to

A few words were exchanged. The loud and audible one obviously belonging to her father and the low and undetected one belonging to this visitor. She could also hear her mother's voice constantly interjecting to the oblivious conversaton. But before she could hear anything else, the door had been slammed with brute force. She knew for sure that was her father's action.And the two pair of rocky footsteps returned in her direction.l, followed by a slower, softer pair of legs. She knew her parents were coming into her room and she did not want to speak to anyone. So before they could reach the door, Dianna was already lying in the depths of her bed with her two soft pillows lying above her head and covering her ears.But all that did not disallow her father from saying something to her. As long as he could still stare at her."Good! It will be a good thing if you are asleep and not privy to that nonsense that just took place right in front of my home. And know this, just like you cannot
