Sergios lay himself atop the sweat-laced body of his foe and wrapped his arm around his neck, forcing Hercules up!
He clenched his fist and applied pressure to the demigod's throat!
"Speak, Hercules, or I will squeeze the breath from you!"
Realizing that he couldn't possibly escape the hold, he finally choked out the truth.
"You... ate... ambrosia...! Zeus said... you're... immortal...!!"
Sergios' grip loosened for a split second. Hercules gasped in precious air before his throat was constricted once more by Sergios' muscular arm.
"Ambrosia?" Sergios muttered incredulously to himself. "I'm... immortal?"
Suddenly it all made sense. No wonder the king of the gods viewed him as a threat! He was now a man with strength to rival Hercules who, like a god on earth, could never die!
