Muses:

Calliope: This is the second half of the story of a famous greek hero; Hercules.

Thalia: Oh honey you mean Hunk-ules.

Terpsichore: We've all heard it that one before…

Calliope: Anyways… it's a tale of past decite.

Clio: A tale of a reawakened enemy.

Melpomene: A tale of love surpassing all odds.

Calliope: This story beings on a lovely day in Greece, Thebes. It had been about a month since Hercules had thrown Hades back into the river of the underworld, where might I add, many would argue that he belongs. Hercules and Meg were living a relatively peaceful life on the earth…

"Hey where'd Wonderboy go off to now?" Meg said putting her hands on her hips confused about the whereabouts of her lover.

"Hey…hey meg! Sorry I was doing a training session with Phil!" He replied, running into the large room. Quirks to being the girlfriend of a God/Modern Day Greek Hero, she thought.

"All of little Hade's tricks have left with him, and the goat's still got you running laps…" She said rolling her eyes.

"Hey, better safe then sorry, I guess." He replied looking at her.

"So wanna ditch this place and go out tonight?" She said.

"Sorry Meg, I cant tonight. My father wants me to go see him in the temple."

"About?" She looked at him suspiciously.

"Ahh, its nothing for you to worry about." He said flicking his hand in a –don't-worry-its nothing- manner.

"Mhm. Well Wonderboy, just let me know when your back. Better me than Phil, or he'd make you train all night."

He stepped closer to her and kissed her on the forehead. "See yea later Meg!" He ran off in the direction of the doors.

She watched him step out with a satisfied smile on her face. She'd finally let herself be able to love again, and Herc loved her back.

"Father! I came! What do you want ?" Hercules said as he entered the Temple of Zeus to the huge statue of his father.

Suddenly with a clash of lightning the statue came to life. "Son! My boy! How is live here on the earth's ground?"

"Great! Everything's pretty peaceful here!"

"Yea because Hades isn't around huh boy!" He said nudging his sons shoulder causing him to fumble back a bit.

"Oh yea! Its great."

"And Meg, how is she doing?"

"Great. Meg and I are great. Actually I was thinking about …"

"Ha Ha! I knew it son! I knew you were going to ask her to get married sooner or later!"

"Well … uh… I didn't say that exactly …but sure!" Hercules said first looking down unsure than confidently looking up at his father.

"Well when are you going to ask her?"

"Well…" He said putting his hand behind his head, " I havnt figured it all out yet."

"Oh, oh I see. Well boy, ill just have to let you know your Mother and I have been waiting for this moment for along time. We have the perfect wedding gift for you two!"

"Can you tell me what it is?"

"Oh well Hera would kill me but…oh well. We were thinking of making Meg a Goddess for you…"

"A Goddess? The Goddess of what?"

"Oh I don't know…we'll figure the fine print out later my boy!"

"Wow Dad this is great! But when?"

"Technically we can only do this on your wedding day; on a special ceremony, not to mention she has to be the one your willing to spend forever with."

"Why's that?"

"Well we can only give her the title of a Goddess if she has reason to be a goddess…plus there are some details, like the rest of the Gods and Goddesses have to agree, but they would have to considering you are son of Zeus. Ha Ha my boy! Do you like it?"

"Do I like it? I love it!"

"Good, good. Now just keep it to yourself for the time being. Don't even tell Meg yet…"

"Why not?"

"Keep it a surprise my boy! Plus I can't let this information of us letting just anyone become a God…or I mean Goddess."

"Alright Pops, I see."

"Oh and before I leave son…"

"Yes?"

"Remember Hades is a God too…"

"Why would you say that?"

"…because he can always come back…" Zeus said as he left the statue.

Hercules left, as the night had become rainy and he knew he needed to get back to Meg. He left in such a hurry he didn't see someone lurking in the shadows outside the temple. The shadow watched as the young man ran away to his flying horse. "Just anyone can become a God or Goddess eh? Ahaha. Well maybe I need to make a visit to an old friend."
