Hermes let out a long sigh, he knew that things were only going to get worse from now, but he couldn't help but desire a break, fighting from day to day, for a whole week, against aliens that only kept getting stronger… It was truly exhausting.
He simply couldn't understand how Blake was doing it, he kept winning and winning, and he never seemed stressed, or even bothered by every daily battle.
If anything, Hermes, deep down, could even see the truth behind Blake's calm demeanor, and how he envisioned each battle as some kind of great challenge.
He had a goal, perhaps even greater than just protecting humanity, and it was beyond his wildest dreams, a goal that surpassed all of this.
Blake relished each battle, even as he lost valuable allies and friends, he continued battling, evolving, improving.
Relentlessly…
Hermes wasn't like him, and he knew he could never be like Blake, no matter how hard he would try, it was simply impossible.
