Hercules Third Labor Novels & Stories

Note: This is a past event, i.e. a ‘flashback’ (continuation of odd-numbered chapter storyline: 2,4,6, etc.) That's the day after I saw Gregory hack the travel agent's system. And the first morning Gregory came to wake me up. "While Zeus, the ruler of Olympus, lies sleepily folded in Hypnos' wings, his son Heracles' ship runs aground on Kos again today," he says. "What the hell?" I asked through sleep.

Jove-Him I can get. Me-Tell him to tell Amanda, Watch for me by moonlight. Jove-And you humans get mad at us for speaking in riddles. As I approach I see my quarry. A dog? Cerberus? Really? Cerberus? Is my name Hercules? Cerberus? He is black with three Doberman heads. On his left fire, on his right a cliff. Behind him a tunnel shooting white light. Like a spot light. He is asleep at the moment. I know he won’t be for long. They only way to the tunnel is through him.

“The last time I checked, you’re ready to kill me. So, I can do the same, right?” “No… kill me, kill me. Don’t torture me.” Hercules’s body had quivered. His forehead had kissed the dirty ground. He didn’t care. He was too terrified to pay attention to anything. Hermes followed suit. Copied his action exactly the same. “Weird… so weird… on earth, during our institution day, y’all constantly conspire against me. Give me so little rest. The scars on my body are the evidence of y’all doing, though. You reap what you sow. Don’t you know?”

The room fell silent as everyone was waiting to hear what the two men would have to do this time. "We have a special treat for you this time. Since my bride to be is the new oracle. I would like to give a nod to the proud oracle heritage. It is said that after Hercules went mad and killed his two sons, he went to the oracle and asked what he could do to atone for his wrong doings. She sent him to his cousin King Eurystheus, where the king would set him 12 impossible tasks. Now, my friends, we do not have time for these men to complete all twelve. I would like to have my honeymoon sometime this year." The King said waggling his eyebrows, and looking back at Amaris. The vampires let ou

Hercules said, and he hit him on the arm and moved away. “Wait till I get you,” Zen said while trying to retaliate, but he missed. That attracted a round of laughter from Hercules. And that was how they ran around my office like little children. And there I was writing a memo to the court of the werewolves. I was telling them that if they were to see any night crawlers, they should be killed immediately. One of them came last night and began to fight, and I tore him apart. Yesterday was a full moon. The others came in the morning, and we took them prisoners, but Zeus, their leader, escaped.

I don't understand what would make a man want that. "There have only been three throughout history. The first a king seeking power, the second a dieing man in search of immortality and the third emerged master to a legion of demons!" The last one jingle a bell in Grey's head. "Hermes?" He asked. "Worse, a demon named Odyssey! The tenth lunar cycle is in three days. I have to get you somewhere safe where I can prepare you for the journey!" He stood pouring himself another cup of bourbon. "And let me guess, if I say no you would drag me away like you've done for years because some manipulative know-it-all wishes me to do so!"

Hermes said. "Hermes my friend, now is not the time for wine, it is for answers and I am getting my answers right now." Tharollin said without looking at his directions as his gaze never left the shocked eyes of Zeus. Hermes nodded his head and left their presence. "Tharollin, I believe what I heard just now from you is wrong, how can I or any of the gods order the death of the whole Mer-clan? I still don't understand what you are saying." Zeus said not believing.

The atmosphere crackled with tension as Alcides struggled to rise. The chant of "kill, kill, kill" echoed, Helios closing in on Alcides. Meanwhile, Rhesus, torn between tragedy and political alliances, struggled. Helios prepared for a final strike, but Alcides, with breathtaking agility, evaded. Seizing the opportunity, he kicked Helios, disrupting the champion's composure.

She said this time as a statement and not a request. "I will." He responded but we both could feel he and Lycus's uncertainty through the bond but there was nothing that could be done now, "I will." He said again, more sternly this time before giving her one more push, Hera rubbed against him again before prancing away trying to make her way through the fire. She stopped for a moment, turned around to see him rooted in a spot staring at her, his eyes passing a silent message for her to go and with one last nod and whine, she leapt through the flames and out a broken entrance landing on the soft snow outside.

he stood naked beside me, now in his human form, “New hair color? Blonde suits you, brings out your eyes,” I sneered. “Lilith III is coming, don't think for a second she'll have mercy if you keep playing these little games,” “Mhm... funny I thought you're the trickster, Cerbi you should rethink with whom your loyalty lies,” I threatened. “It lies with Hell,” “As much as I'd like to continue this little mockery, I got important duties to fulfill, my advice to you is... you should focus on the gates, wouldn't want anything else to escape from Tartarus now, wouldn't we?” I smiled brightly at him,
