The people are cheering. My people are cheering. I can't believe the bandits actually left. Hercules was right, I could defeat them. I look over to him and see him smiling. In excitement I run over to him and he spins me around. When I am on the ground we are both smiling.

"I knew you could do it," he said.

I sigh. "Thanks to you." It's true. I couldn't have done it without him. He taught me how to shoot an arrow and he never gave up on me.

His face dropped a tiny bit but it was barely noticeable to most people. "I guess you don't need me to train you anymore," he says.

"So does this mean you're going to leave to defeat Cerberus?" I ask.

He asks, "Do you want to come?"

I shake my head. "I'd love too. But Herc," I say back, "I think my people need me more right now."

"You're going to make an amazing queen." I still have a few more years to determine that but I'm still touched.

I say back, "And Olympus would be lucky, to have a hero like you."

Then he grins that makes him look less like a demigod and more like a kid. He starts to lean in and I start to as well. We kiss slowly but with meaning in it.

When we break apart I'm the first one to find my voice. "If you take me back to my kingdom before you go to Olympus, then I would come with you," I say, too afraid to even look at his expression right now.

I didn't even have to. He turned my head to look back him and smiled. "Deal," was all he said.
