Lityerses - Leads Blind Commodus Out Window

“Wait,” said Lityerses.
The swordsman advanced on his former master. “Commodus, go while you still can.”
“I made you, boy,” said the emperor. “I saved you from obscurity. I was a second father to you. I gave you purpose!”
“A second father even worse than the first,” Lit said. “And I’ve found a new purpose.”
Commodus charged, swinging his sword wildly.
Lit parried. He stepped toward Josephine’s workshop. “Over here, New Hercules.”
Commodus took the bait, rushing toward Lit’s voice.
Lit ducked. He blade-slapped the emperor’s butt. “Wrong way, sire.”
The emperor stumbled into Josephine’s welding station, then backed into a circular saw, which, fortunately for him, was not running at the time.
Lityerses positioned himself at the base of the giant rose window. I realized his plan as he yelled, “Over here, Commode!”
The emperor howled and charged. Lit stepped out of the way. Commodus barreled straight toward the window. He might have been able to stop himself, but at the last second, Calypso flicked her hands. A gust of wind carried Commodus forward. The New Hercules, the god-emperor of Rome, shattered the glass at the six o’clock mark and tumbled into the void.
