Soon the party died down and the chariot was making it night time.
"You two will sleep in here for the night." Hera told them as she carried Hercules to bring him to his room for bed with Pegasus.
"Thank you again, ma'am." Atticus said politely.
Cherry yawned, but showed her appreciation and thanks.
"Good night, now..." Hera smiled as she carried her baby to bed.
Cherry took one bed while Atticus took the other. "I guess we got a new life here..." she said as she pulled back the covers and crawled into the bed.
"Yeah, I guess, but I do I feel like we were actually sent here for a reason?" Atticus asked.
"I'm sure we were..." Cherry shrugged, but let out a yawn. "Well, maybe we'll fidn out in the morning... I wonder if we'll get to have any ambrosia."
"What's that?" Atticus asked.
"It's this food the gods ate, a lot of people believed that it would give them immortality since the gods ate it." Cherry said before falling asleep from the spontaneous fun at the party.
"Cool, maybe we'll try some." Atticus said before falling asleep himself.
It was a rather peaceful night. Everyone was sleeping soundly, until there was a clanging heard in a room. Atticus woke up instantly, Cherry did too, but it took her a little longer to properly respond.
"What was that noise?" Cherry yawned.
"It sounds like it came from Hercules's bedroom." Atticus said.
Cherry and Atticus then came to the room, followed by the demigod's parents.
Pegasus had a toy stuck on his head and struggled to get it off, once he did, they all looked and saw Hercules's bed was turned over and he was nowhere to be found.
"HERCULES!" Hera cried for her only son as he was now gone. "Oh, no!"
Zeus was so angry and unahppy, he yelled out as lightning flashed to illuminate his now bad mood.
"Who could have kidnapped him?" Atticus asked, not understanding who would be so heartless. "Who would even want to kidnap Hercules?"
"I don't know..." Zeus sighed. "We can't just stand here though... HERMES!"
The messenger god flew over in a rush. "Yes, sir?" he asked, ready to work, though he sounded sleepy still.
"Assemble all the gods to organize a search party." Zeus told him.
"Maybe there's something we could do?" Cherry offered, volunteering her and Atticus.
"Perhaps they could look on Earth for our son?" Hera suggested to Zeus for them to help.
"Yeah." Atticus nodded.
"If you think you're up for it..." Zeus said softly.
"It would be an honor." Atticus promised.
"Well... Okay," Zeus agreed to it. "Thank you so much... You shall be gratefully rewarded."
"Oh, really, it's no trouble." Cherry waved her hand a little.
"No really, we insist." Hera said with a smile.
"What would you give us?" Atticus asked.
"I'll think about it, but for now, you must get going..." Zeus said to them.
Cherry and Atticus nodded. Zeus then transported them back to Earth and they were in Ancient Greece, though it was after dark and they didn't have much light.
"I wish I was a vampire so then I could see a little bit better..." Cherry said as she tried to look around.
There were two voices heard, but then those voices screamed followed by a crash and a baby cry.
Cherry heard the baby cry, having a natural hearing sense in that due to being a girl and rushed over to it. "Follow me!"
"Lead the way, Cherry!" Atticus called out as he followed her.
Cherry listened closely and looked around, then found Baby Hercules. He seemed different somehow, but she carried him as he cried and looked rather unhappy. "Now, what happened to you?" she looked around for anyone suspicious.
There were two new voices heard and there was a light coming. A man and a woman.
"Oh, you poor thing..." the woman cooed to the baby. "Is he your baby brother?" she asked Cherry.
"Uhh..." Cherry wasn't sure how to answer that question.
"Y-Yes, ma'am, he's our baby brother, w-we're orphans." Atticus lied.
"Yeah!" Cherry quickly agreed.
"Anybody there?" the man looked around for any adults since these kids were without adult supervision. "You must've been abandoned..." he then sounded sad for them.
"Hello, I'm Amphitryon and this is my wife, Alcmene," the man introduced. "You three must be looking for homes..."
"Amphitryon, for so many years we've prayed to the Gods to bless us with children," Alcmene smiled fondly at the baby and the two kids. "Maybe they've answered our prayers."
"I guess they have..." Amphitryon smiled, then looked at the baby boy's medallion. "Would you like to live with us?" he asked the kids.
"Yes please, sir." Atticus said politely.
They all smiled to each other until a couple of snakes came up behind them. The couple was frightened and worried what was going to happen to all of them now. Hercules grabbed the snakes though and sat on the ground, he was hitting their heads against the ground, tied them together, and he had spun them around and made them fly in the air. Alcmene and Amphityron were so shocked, they didn't know what to say or do to that, but at least they were safe. Hercules giggled, waving to the snakes and smiled at his new parents innocently.
"Um, yeah, our baby brother Hercules is incredibly strong, like god strength strong." Atticus smiled nervously.
"Interesting..." Alcmene wondered what that could mean.
The mortal kids then followed Alcmeme and Amphitryon to their home. They were going to be raised by the couple for a while. The couple was glad to finally have the children they had always wanted, they loved the kids, but Hercules was a little bit of a problem sometimes with his strength. The other kids around his age always treated him differently and almost never treated him like a living person and rarely invited him over to play their games. But luckily for him, he had Atticus and Cherry to be there for him as his friends.
