"Meg..."

Her head hurt so much, as did her left arm. She felt someone hugging her closer to them.

"Meg!"

She kept her eyes closed, not able to look into the sunlight. The pain...the pain...

"Meg! Wake up!"

"I...fine..." she said weakly.

Hades did not know what to do. He gently laid Meg on a bed, which he made out of leaves. He took the bottle of water from her bag.

"Meg, you need something to drink. please, open your mouth." he begged.

After they had jumped into the gorge, Hades Hades had done his best to protect her. They had landed inside a lake and Meg had survived. Hades was lucky that he was immortal.

"Please, Meg."

The woman opened her mouth and Hades poured fresh, clean water into it.

He noticed that Megs left arm was bent in a weird way. It must've been broken.

Hades hugged her. The sun was slowly setting.

"Where did that...that thing...what was that?" Meg asked.

"A dinosaur. They used to live here before you humans came. Krínos must've used her magic to-" Suddenly Hades saw something in the distance. He softly put Meg down and walked over to it. It was exactly what he thought it were. "The Ygeías Flower." he whispered. It was mythical plant, that could heal the injured. As long as Hades didn't want it, Meg wouldn't die. He had ordered the Fates, as well as Pain and Panic, to take good care of Megs thread of life anot to harm it. Still, Meg felt bad. He picked the small golden flower. A strange glow and a lovely smell.

He took one of the bowls Meg had in her bag, filled it with water. Than, he lit a fir beneath it and put the flower inside. Now, he just had to wait for it to cook and become medicine.

"What...doing?"

"I'm making something that'll help you recover." Hades mumbled.

"Mhm."

He quickly went over to her. "Meg, I...lo-" Suddenly, the brewing inside the bowel interrupted himm. The medicine was ready. He quickly took it from the fire. It was golden, syrupy liquid. "Meg, you need to drink this!" He filled the liquid inside the bottle, which previously had the water inside. Meg did as she was told and after a few seconds she opened her eyes.

"I'm...better," she breathed and embraced Hades. "Thank you..." she whispered. Tears filled her eyes and streamed down her cheeks.

"You're welcome...Meg,"

Hercules laid in a cage, his arms chained behind him.

"Oh, dearie. Look at that!" Krínos said.

She watched Meg and Hades in her mirror. "Looks like your little wife and Hades are out to save you.

"Hades."

"Yes! But once they're here, I'll crush them under my heel! And then," she looked at Hercules, smirking evilly "Then I'm going to claim my price!"

"Meg...and Hades, I guess, will defeat you!"

Hercules heard her wicked laugh. "You know what I think? i think, Meg and Hades will soon give up looking for you and go back to Greece. There, they'll live happily ever after and so shall we," Krínos stepped closer to the cage.

"Ain't gonna happen." Hercules said. "And I'd never fall for an evil witch like you!"

"Who said anything from falling in love, dear? No, don't worry, my pretty. You'll be very content serving me in any way I want."

"NOO!" Hercules yelled.

"Now, now. You'll soon get used to the thought. Now, your girl will arrive soon and we want you to be ready, don't we?"

"What?"

"I'll prepare you soon, so you and her meeting again will be...romantic." Krínos chuckled as she reached through the metal bars. She patted his cheek and left her prisoner alone.

She smiled as she walked down the corridor. Soon she'd get a new husband. Let's hope he'll last longer than the last one, she thought, grinning.
