p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black; background: white;"I've had a tortured past and an awful adulthood. I have had all kinds of demons chase me, and all kinds of betrayal. I have had my heart broken and I have died. There are many stories in my lifetime but this is the most important one to me. Many people do not know me, and many people do not care. My name is Megara and this is a story in my life. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black; background: white;"I'm basically a nobody; I do have one redeeming quality though. I am beautiful. Not Aphrodite drop dead gorgeous, but I can bend the will of almost any man and some women to do what I want without getting emotionally attached to them. People are just playthings, and I am the puppet master. I have a demon of a boss, who is gross and lecherous and looks like he is going to jump me at any minute. Disgusting. My boss is insane and plans to take over the entire cosmos. I bet you are wondering why I would go to work for such a creep, and how I am used. The first one is another story for another time. But my beauty is his tool, because he is a tool. He sends me to gather centaurs and other devious creatures with my 'womanly charm'. There is one problem with my looks though. They do not work on everyone. Well they do. But with some guys they want more than I will ever give them, and because I am just a slender woman I am often put into compromising situations. Like the one I am in now./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black; background: white;"I am currently trying to escape a man like creature who is asking more than what I will give. He is the river guardian, and for some reason my boss, the oh so brilliant ruler of the dead, sent a woman to recruit a 10 foot tall blue four legged centaur. His hands can wrap around my waist at least 1 and a half times, and he has a face only a mother can love. The main problem with this situation, on top of every other problem that I have run into today is this. He has four legs, and I have two, and I am wearing a dress, in the water. If you cant tell this is going to be an awful day. Because I am who I am I tripped into the water. I swore I would never be a damsel in distress, but I look a lot like one. The giant demon half hybrid ran over to me and picked me up with one of his hands, strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"one/strong!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black; background: white;""Not so fast sweetheart" He slithers his tongue around my face, dear Gods do not let me throw up. I strangled in his hand trying to get out "I swear Nesis put me down or I will" I could not come up with a threat so I tried, and failed to kick him. Because he is a complete and utter creep his only response was "Oh I like em fiery" I wanted to hurl. I struggled some more until a beautiful man walked up trying to act all heroic. His crystal blue eyes and perfectly tanned skin already set him apart from every man I have ever seen. I remembered my mantra em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"never a damsel in distress/em. "Keep moving Jr" He looked shocked and asked "But aren't you a damsel in distress?". I sigh and try and release myself "I'm a damsel" struggle some more "I'm in distress" I struggle once more and mentally curse at Nesis "I can handle it" I can see his confusion, and since it would be too much fun not to I flirt a little bit. "Have a nice day" I winked and he looked completely stunned, even men as beautiful as him cannot resist me./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: Verdana; color: black; background: white;"Oh yea. I try to figure out how to get out of this situation when I hear muttering, I turn to him and I think he says something about me being close to the situation to understand how much danger I am in. Gods help us both, and then he suddenly goes flying. Oh wait Nesis punched him, that makes more sense. I shake my head as I realize how bad this is about to get. I glance over to the shore and see a fat little faun yelling at the hunk, and a bird like horse with feathers. This guy may be cute but he sure does have a weird entourage. When I glance back at the wannabe I see him with a fish aimed at Nesis. Mentally I curse Hades to one day fall into his pit of the dead for putting me through this. I hear a bang and hope that his beautiful face is not completely broken, and about ten seconds after this I am flying through the air because he head butted Nesis in the stomach. I am being lifted out of the water before I realize that I was soaked to the bone. "Gee miss that was dumb" he is a hick "Yea it was" he gently places me down and I try to wring out my hair. He disappears probably to go compare muscles with Nesis, boys. The little fat man is near me for some reason and is cheering him on/span /p
