I look up and I see two people on a Pegasus. I don't have a weapon. I draw back.

"You mind letting me go?" Phil asks.

"Depends on if I need you for insurance." I say.

I grip the tail.

"Hercules! My dear come down; we have someone for you to meet." The mother says.

"Put me down!" Phil gurgles.

The horse with a blue mane dives down. I grip Phil. I know foes not friends. I have been hurt, betrayed, and almost killed a thousand times over. I just want to go home to my wife and my son. I'm not taking any chances. The man jumps down. He's a lot bigger than I first suspected. The girl slides off.

"This is Hercules?" I raise an eyebrow.

"You bet sonny! Now for Zeus' sake put me down!" Phil yells.

"I never care for Zeus." I say.

"Who's this?" The girl walks forward.

I draw back.

"Help! Meg tell him to put me down!" Phil yells.

"Put him down please." Hercules says.

"Depends on if you're going to kill me or not." I shrug.

"Kill you? Why would we kill you? We don't even know you." Meg points out. 

"Do you need a reason for bloodshed?" I ask.

"YES!" Phil yells.

"Drop him son." The father says.

I nod. I let go and he falls on his head.

"Ow! Watch it boy!" Phil grunts.

"We said our names. Now, what's yours?" Meg walks forward.

"Odysseus." I say.
