Hermes then recalled something Shani told him a while ago, when they talked about their own names.
"Hermes is the Greek god of messengers and travellers, right?" Shani said while eating his biryani packed lunch. "So what is your message to the world?"
Hermes shrugged as he ate his egg sandwich. "I don't know yet… Maybe that goodness should prevail?"
Shani nodded. "Hm. Make sense. My name is from the Indian god of Saturn, the god of karma and justice. I guess if I had a message to the world…"
His expression darkened, those sienna eyes with gray rings gleaming.
"... is that it will reap what it sow."
Hermes felt his head about to split from the thrumming ache of all this information. At first he thought Shani was just a righteous person, that's why he said that. After all, he said he wanted to be a lawyer because he could not stand injustice.
"And this world has become corrupted with lies and injustices. Someone has to stand up and purge it, wipe it clean."
