Power of the Apple

Sol stood amidst the chaos, his hands subtly cupped under the concealed sleeves of his vibrant orange robes. His gaze fixated on the direction where the walls of the temple lay in ruins after Derek's struggle with the massive serpent had taken them down.

Deucalion revealed a cruel smile, relishing the apparent isolation of Sol. "You have no one to rely on now," he taunted, a sinister satisfaction coloring his words.

Sol's eyes, filled with an air of indifference, met Deucalion's gaze. He chuckled softly at the deity's words before retorting, "The one in need of help is you."

Deucalion's fury simmered beneath his facade as he made a move forward, but Sol's casual gesture halted him, leaving the deity bewildered. Sol sighed with an air of resignation, addressing Deucalion with a tone of detached wisdom. "You're as ignorant as every other foe I've encountered," he remarked, a mix of disappointment and amusement in his voice.
