## Summary

The Olympian Hermes Returned to Earth on September 4th 2014 and assembles a group of small followers that help him summon Mercury the Roman God of Messengers. Hermes proceeded to kill him after he questioned him on the whereabouts of the Golden Apple Tree. Mercury gave him the name of Cordelia Alden who he believed knew where the tree was. Hermes next stop was to reach out to Circe to help him find Alden and during this meet up he encountered the current lineup of Avengers which he quickly dispatched, injuring several and taking them out of Commission.

While Director Fury assembled another group of Avengers as Temporary backups Hermes moved on to his next objective Cordelia Alden.

Buenos Aries was his next stop and he recruited Alden where she informed him that the location of the Golden Apple tree was in a Sort of Vault the Order of Fincayra that was created to keep it locked away Hermes and Alden set out to travel there but not before having a run in with a new group of Avengers and eventually Hercules who joined the fight to help bring down his half-brother.

Hermes killed Three of the 7 Avengers that were sent after him and also subdued Hercules in the battle before leaving.

Hermes eventually found out that the last Golden Apple tree on Earth was discovered in 1952 in Korea in the midst of The Korean war by mixed group 6 soldiers and Merlin himself locked it away behind a Magical Rock Vault that only the 6 could open if they were present together at the entrance way to open it. Merlin could not simply destroy it as its magic was even more powerful than his.

Hermes began gathering the 6 "Key Holders" which included Nick Fury, Charles Xavier, Erik Lehnsherr, during this time period a small group of Heroes Led by Sylphie Scofield and Orchyd |and eventually John Constantine, they formed a small group which included Wonder Woman, Zatanna, Andromeda Alden (Cordelia Sister), Hercules and Marlin Ambros which was later revealed to be Merlin himself.

Between the days of September 8th and September 16th the group could not protect the three remaining Key holders and Giovanni Zatara, Montgomery Falsworth and Finally Athena were all taken. Hermes also recruited more people to his group and enhanced them using Ambrosia which granted all of them immense power, He promised them power and control over Earth and possibly other planets.

Against Merlin's judgement and decision, the group excluding Merlin partakes in eating Ambrosia which temporarily enhanced all of their abilities just as Hermes had been doing along with his followers.

On September 18th the Group of Heroes confronted Hermes and his followers at the Location of the Golden Apple and a battle ensued in which just as Hermes was near victorious in taking a bite of an Apple, he was stopped by Orchyd and Sylphie with the help of Constantine, they stopped him and ended his reign of terror by ending his life. Many of Hermes followers escaped but without Ambrosia to enhance any of their powers they soon would no longer be threats.

After some debating amongst the group, it was decided to destroy the Golden Apple Tree and Merlin along with Orchyd, Sylphie, Constantine, Zatanna and a few of the others they destroyed it leaving no trace of the tree on earth.

The "Key Holders" were saved from Hermes turning them too stone using Medusa head, and Merlin now revealed to the open of heroes decides to return to his Order and help guide them in a more open and transparent way.

Cordelia Alden having been captured by her sister and Merlin now serving time in a prison in Fincayra her sister making frequent visits.

The world unaware that it was nearly conquered by Hermes continues to move forward
