Hercules eyes opened and watched the lightning fill up the sky for a few moments. The thunder was loud, he thought to himself, but it shouldn't have been unusual enought to wake me. He was still wondering what had awakened him when he heard a voice singing on the wind through the storm.
Hercules grabbed a oiled waterproof cloak and after checking that Iolaus was still asleep, he left the small structure they had made and headed towards the voice. As he approached a small clearing, the voice stopped singing. He was momentairaly afraid that the singer had noticed his presence, but he realized that the song had finished. A new song started and he confirmed that it was a girl singing.
"Where have all the good men gone,
and where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules
to fight the rising odds?"
Herc was shocked momentarally to hear the girl-voice sing his name. Wondering if he had ever seen the singer before, he peered through the leaves. The first thing he noticed was a large light-blue cloth hanging between trees and covering a medium-large patch of ground from getting wet. Underneith the cloth appeared to be a small silver thin box sitting between two medium silver square boxes, a big black curving box, a darker blue cloth bag, and some really thin boxed stacked and spread beside the silver boxes. That was what seemed to be emitting the music. The second thing he noticed was the girl, dancing in the rain.
The strange girl was clothed in black pants, but they didn't seem to be made of cloth or leather. Her top was a green shirt, but unlike any design Herc had ever seen before. Her hair was stringy, wet, and hanging in dark chestnut curls that swung out as the girl twirled and kicked and did lots of strange footwork.

Miriam smiled as she danced. She hadn't been able to sleep, so Mirth had suggested that they listen to some music and just like every other time she had ever heard 'Holding out for a hero', she had just had the urge to dance, even in the thunderstorm that was raging. Miriam held out her arm towards the sky and sung the last verse with the cd player.
"Out where the mountains meet the heavens above,
Out where the lightning splits the sea.
I could swear there is someone somewhere watching me."

Well, that's all I have. Dig or dis, Suggestions are blood to a vampire =[ Just leave a little sample in the box below...
