In truth, it was a fruit of ephemerality.

[k] @Goredolf Sure enough, after Typhon ate the fruit, it was never able to defeat Zeus again. [k] [charaFadeout M 0.1] [charaPut R 1] [charaFace D 23] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Goredolf Zeus chased it to an island in the Mediterranean, where it was sealed away, buried by an eruption of Mt. Etna. [k] [messageOff] [charaTalk D] [charaFadeout P 0.7] [wt 0.8] @Da Vinci Good point. Since Typhon is sealed away, the version of it that's materialized here must be the one who ate that fruit. [k] @Da Vinci That would help explain why it looks like a girl now.

[k] [effect bit_talk_41_fs] [charaFace E 1] @Goredolf And that means, now that we're here... [k] [charaFace E 12] @Goredolf ...as long as we can find Typhon's body, our victory is assured!

[k] @Ptolemaîos We would be mosquitoes picking a fight with a giant. That we're alive is proof Typhon is still weak. [k] @Ptolemaîos And that means our only option is to make our way through this castle and find its real body before it's too late.
