Soon, we made our way to the gorge that Meg had described. The kids are trapped in Hercules, hops off with ease. My legs were weak, tingling from the adrenaline and the sensation of going so fast. Hercules managed to gently set me down on the ground; I didn't let go of his arm because my legs were shaking. I turned to see Meg and his hair blown out as a tornado ran through his head. He didn't look too good like he was about to yak from the biggest night out.

"Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine. Just get me down before I ruin the upholstery."

Pegasus bucks Meg off of him, and that's when we heard two voices calling for help.

"Help! I can't breathe!"

"Cough! Hurry!"

"Get us out!"

"We're suffocating!"

"Somebody call IX-I-I!"

Hercules went down to where the two boys were underneath the large boulder.

"Easy, fellas, it'll be all right."

"We can't last much longer!"

"Get us out before we get crushed!"

The crowd of people following us from the city finally arrived at the gorge and seated themselves away from the danger but close enough to where they could see Hercules in action. Hercules then scanned the area's perimeter, seeing how large the boulder was. He made his way and lifted the boulder far enough for the kids to make their way out.

"Nngh!"

He starts with a struggle but moves from a squatted position, gripping a boulder and lifting it above his head; the crowd watches on, giving him a meek applause and Hercules's like strength. How can a simple man lift such a heavy boulder with ease?

Meg is impressed by his greatness. I see that he has softened his heart. I love him. He looks at me, and then he looks away, blushing.

"I didn't take you as one to root for underdogs."

He doesn't say anything and returns to watching Hercules. Now it's my turn to stare at him and make him shift in his place, and I soon turn my attention back.

The boys scramble out from underneath the rock. One was a tall, skinny blonde child, and the other was a chubby brunette.

"How you boy's doin'?"

"We're okayokay now."

"Jeepers, mister. You're really strong."

"Well, try to be a little more careful next time, okay, kids?"

"We sure will!"

The two scurry off joyfully, thankful that they've been saved. Hercules throws the boulder as if it were a basketball to the side. Without knowing, Meg had left my side and returned to Hades, with the two children transforming into Pain and Panic as the god of the underworld sat on his throne, eating a bowl of worms, waiting for the show to begin.
