One second later, Theseus took off. His rockets instantly kicked up to eleven as he flew across the sky towards the tower. Dragging Hercule behind him, taking great care not to drop him.
As they flew in the sky, Theseus looked above the clouds, he saw a object in the sky. Unmoving, impossible to determine whether it was really small, or really large and simply far away. The gold colour gave its identity away as soon as he managed to adjust to the light.
Looking away from it, he squinted as he flew towards the tower of the twin snakes.

Theseus and Hercule could see the tower in the distance, half-submerged into the ground while the top half stood out with a spire on top of it and something massive wrapped around it.
As they were flying in the sky, they could instantly see Cyndass and Cleopatra in the air surrounded by four dragon guards, attacking them from all sides as Cyndass used his hands to grab onto one dragon's sword, his very hot hands melted the sword while spears were flying around Cleopatra's head and launched them at the dragons, some of them broke against their armor's while a few of them hit them in the eyes instead.
"Give yourself up, Cyndass! Let's not end this with blood!" The dragon said.
"I can't! We need that orb!" Cyndass said, slashing at the dragon's face with his claws.
"Alright, those guys will keep them busy, drop us down and let's get inside that tower!" Hercule told Theseus.

Theseus nodded, and down they went. He flew straight in through the first open window or doorway he could find.

As they were getting closer to the actual tower.
The tower was red with a spire attached to it, markings around the tower with no windows just one black door at the entrance, half plunged into the ground covered in dirt aswell as a large red serpent body was wrapped around it with two massive heads and yellow eyes, not moving at all and it din't seem to react to Hercule and Theseus as the two bumped right into the door which din't open.
Hercule got off the ground and looked at the two-headed snake while rubbing his head.
"Hey, let us in, we need to save that orb from being taken by our enemies!" Hercule said.
"Someone is a habitual liar, he spouts hot air." One of the snake heads hissed without opening it's mouth.
"And the other speaks the truth but is believed to be a liar." The other head hissed.
"Only one of them is honest." The two heads said.
"When one is caught under a big fat lie." One head said.
"They buuuurn." The second head hissed.
The door then opened, it was pitch black inside.
Hercule raised an eyebrow at the snakes before looking at Theseus.
"...Were they talking about us?" Hercule asked.

"..I don't.. think so." Theseus blinked. He looked towards the open door, not entering yet."Hey, who are you talking about?"

"Winged man with arrows and twins." The first snake head said.
"Treachery is inevitable." The twin of the first head said.
Hercule just stared at the heads before another armored dragon collapsed on the ground right behind them, defeated by Cyndass and Cleopatra.
"We'll think about the meaning of their nonsense later, into the tower, we go!" Hercule said, running inside.

Theseus looked at the snakes with a expression of clarity as he followed after Hercule. His eyes already adjusting to the pitch blackness of the interior as night-vision kicked in.
There were signs of a fight in the entrance already. No signs of any combatants, but there were a couple of cracks along the walls that looked extremely recent.

Outside, Cleopatra saw Hercule and Theseus going inside before looking at Cyndass.
"The Royal Guard entered in the tower, we need to get to the orb another way, the fastest way to the bottom of the tower." Cleopatra said.
Cyndass nodded as he smacked the dragon guards out of the way and flew down.
Right beside the tower he spat lava at the ground, melting right through it, making a large hole that lead to a deep abyss as he flew down into the hole while Cleopatra had a tight grip on his back.
Inside the tower, the hallway entrance, besides the cracks, had snake patterns on the red walls and at the end of the hallway there was a rectangular gap that was pitch black.
Hercule began running towards the gap-
Then the hallway suddenly went upside down while Hercule and Theseus remained on the floor which was now the ceiling and the ceiling was now the floor.
Hercule, confused, looked down before looking at Theseus.
"...I think I'm starting to see what Marduk meant when he said there are all sorts of tricks in this temple, this place has something to do with that mischief Omnipotent." Hercule guessed.

"Looks like I'm going to be getting a lot of use out of these babies." Theseus looked down at his rocket legs. "We can't let any of this places tricks distract us."

Hercule nodded as he walked up to the rectangular entrance and tried to touch it to see if it was real.
It was, except it was solid as a wall and Hercule can't go through it.
"...The entrance here is fake, just as expected. Looks like we'll need to find the true door somehow." Hercule sighed, looking annoyed.
He turned to look at the cracks on the snake wall with the cracks on it and folded his arms.
"...Seems like Cupid and his thugs got here before us as expected by looking at the cracks...hm, perhaps beyond that wall there is a secret entrance if Cupid found out that gap over there is fake?" Hercule asked Theseus, gesturing at his eyes to see if there is anything beyond that wall.

Theseus blinked, placing a hand against the wall.
"It is cracked." He commented, running his hands along it. "Of course he would leave some damage in his wake."

By touching it, he could feel that this wall was easy to push aside.
And from his perspective, there was a circular staircase past the wall that leads further down to possibly another area of the tower.

"It looks like you were onto something, Hercule." Theseus said, as he pushed the wall aside with all of his might. Which was most likely way more might than necessary.

The wall collapsed on the floor like it was made out of cardboard and the staircase was now visible.
"Sweet. Now, let's get a move on, who knows what else will be waiting for us when we get downstairs." Hercule said, as he started running down the stairs in a hurry.

Theseus followed after him,
there was a discoloured stain near the staircase. Presumably another remnant from whatever fight went on in here. He paid it was little mind as he could.
