Chapter 1130 Perseus Awakens

• Perseus felt something click inside him—an awakening, sharp as surf against rock. He recalled every slight he had swallowed: the sneers, the endless curses, the beating that snapped his arms and legs. If the ending would be the same regardless, why not choose the sweeter path—payback first, consequences later?
• "Screw you! Weren't you the tough one, bragging you'd crush me like an ant?" He yanked Torin upright and began to work him over, each blow deliberate, almost methodical. Torin could scarcely draw breath, yet terror stitched his lips shut; he dared not utter a single protest.
• "Talk! What exactly did you do to Lyra last night?" Perseus snarled, face twisted with fury.
