Hercules

August 9, 2019

Son of the lightning, possessor of inhuman strength.

Self-worth lower than the underworld he fought to tame.

Strength of a God with the soul of a man.

Gullible, malleable, quick to break in her hands.

Slayer of monsters, beasts and all manner of things.

Losing the battle to his own self-esteem.
