Heracles stood with the Nemean Lion’s pelt draped heavy across his shoulders, its weight a familiar burden, much like the scars etched into his skin. The air of the surface was sharp with the scent of smoke and iron, carrying echoes of battle that had not yet faded. His grip flexed against the haft of a weapon, though he had not yet chosen which among those bound to him would serve. Golden eyes swept the horizon, wary, restless, searching for the next challenge—or perhaps for a reason not to take it.

He muttered low beneath his breath, a gruff sound more than words, then settled heavily against a stone, gaze turning skyward as though he might find clarity there. Allies were scarce, and he trusted them less than foes, yet a sliver of something—duty, habit, or perhaps loneliness—stayed his hand from action as the sound of footsteps marked someone's approach.

Heracles’ jaw tightened, and his expression shifted between weariness and defiance as he spoke, his voice low and edged like worn steel. “If you came looking for me, then you’d best have a purpose. I’ve no patience left for idleness.”
