Perseus:Demigod 2/2 (Patreon)

And we are back to our young hunk on his journey to get beefier and hairier!

Now... where were we?

Athena instructed Perseus to find the Hesperides in Hera's orchard, the three daughters of the god who carried the whole world on his shoulders: Atlas. The Hesperides were entrusted with an object needed to defeat Medusa, a sack to safely contain her head.

Zeus gave Athena an adamantine sword from him, the helmet of darkness from Hades, and winged sandals from Hermes to gave Theseus the ability to fly. After Zeus warned Athena to take care of Perseus, he wished them good luck and led them westwards to the monster's cave.

Perseus found the gorgon asleep, among hundreds of petrified men, women and children she captured and killed, corrupted by her power. The young man fixed his eyes on the reflection of the shield and walked backwards to reach the creature. When the gorgon woke up, Athena guided Perseus' hand to cut Medusa's head with one stroke before she attacked him.

The cursed gorgon fell, lifeless and bleeding; whereupon, to his surprise, Medusa's blood evaporated and started shaping forms. A winged white stallion came out from the cloud fully grown in front of Perseus; it was Pegasus, the result of the good part of the union between Medusa and Poseidon.

From the evaporated blood, another creature came out. The result of the evil part of Medusa's union with Poseidon: a huge winged warrior with boar features, Chrysaor. Athena warned Perseus, it was not a common monster, and she also felt that something even more evil was approaching. When Perseus wore Hades's helmet he turned invisible. Chrysaor, too strong for any other human, would defeat him, but since Perseus was now undetectable he managed to escape from the cave and fly away on Pegasus.

In the following weeks, Perseus turned eastward and flew across the desert. Not being able to ride a horse, since he never had one before, he made the gorgon's head fall and it rolled out from the sack, pouring coagulated blood that turned venomous. Hermes managed to take back the head and put it away in the sack before the blood, still cursed, turned into poisonous snakes ready to bite him.

Perseus and Hermes flew for a few more days, then paused for refreshments at Chemmis in Egypt for a few months. Hermes came to teach him how to be a better fighter and, since he liked Pegasus, also give him some riding lessons. Given that Perseus was handsome and still young, Hermes liked him very much and treated him well. 

Perseus, having never had an erastes (master/lover) to teach him in his adolescence, was still a virgin therefore impatient to be loved by an older man. After coming back from the nearby village, Perseus found the god naked and ready to challenge him in a wrestling match. The god taught him how to fight but touched, grabbed and teased the young man at the same time. Hermes seduced him and, while wrestling, covered both their bodies in sacred oils.

Hermes gave him an incredible first kiss. At first sweet, firm and romantic, then more passionate and sloppy. The god lifted him up in the air with fingers firm in a strong grip around his bottom, then flied in the air while kissing him some more. 

Since he couldn't face his destiny without proper training, Hermes spent an entire year with Perseus in that oasis. 

See you next month with the second part: Born for greatness! With more sex and a nice conclusion to Perseus's story.
