Hercules of course had no idea of his impending kidnapping, so when a sack flew over his head and he felt himself being dragged, he was definantly in shock. He fpught hard against it, but to no avail. He felt his body hit a wooden surface, the the floor moved. Then he felt something like a hand, smaller than the hands that he'd felt earlier grabbing him. The hand touching him now was more comforting, more relaxing, as if telling him that it was going to be okay. But the comfort didn't last long. He heard a man shouting.
"Hey! She came unbound!" She? There was a she with these men? Then he remembered that Millenia had been on the island alone! He felt her hand being yanked away and felt the boat rock, then something falling on top of him. Then there was silence for the longest time, until they must have reached shore, because Hercules felt the sack dropped onto dirt. Thenhe heard the men speaking.
"We can't have her out in the open! Stuff her in the sack! It should be big enough for both of them! Its made for gods after all!" Then the sack was opened and Millenia was thrown into the sack and landed on Hercules with an oof!
"Millenia!" He shouted. She put her finger to her lips as they were dragged onto a carriage and felt as it rumbled down the road.

Zeus sat at his throne, waiting for his weekly call from Hercules and his daily visit from Millenia. Nothing. He didn't get any calls and there weren't any complaints about Jewels flying through and ruining Aphrodite's hair. Where were his children? They would never miss a chance to spend time with their father. Soon, Apollo had pulled the sun down and Orpheus had pulled his blanket of sleep over the world and there was still no word from either Millenia, nor Hercules. Hera came into the room, yawning.
"Dearest husband, shouldn't you be off to bed? Its very late." She asked in her elegant voice. Zeus sighed.
"Its just that I haven't heard a word from either of our children today. I'm starting to worry. Millenia wouldn't miss a day of coming home to see us and she hasn't even flown in late. And I haven't heard from Hercules at all either." Hera's sleepy eyes widened.
"Well can't you talk to Phil? Perhaps they went off somewhere and are staying the night. And perhaps they took Pegasus and left Jewles at home." Zeus nodded.
"Perhaps you're right. I'll ask Phil right now actually." And Zeus zapped himself down to Earth and made himself smaller, then knocked on Phil's door. No answer. He was about to walk in, when he heard a familiar whinny from the sky. Pegasus! Zeus looked up and saw that it was Phil riding him, not Hercules. When he landed, Zeus went up to him.
"Philoctetes, where are my children?" He demanded. Phil backed against Pegasus nervously.
"Look, I don't know. After Herc left for school, Milly wentto the training field and I went to find a good training spear for her. I found one, but it needed a new tip, so I took Pegasus out and we flew all over Greece looking for one. When I got back, both of em were gone! I've been looking for em all day!" Zeus's forhead creased with worry. The he yelled up to the heavans.
"All gods assemble in the meeting hall! Now! MOVE!" When all the gods heard this, they dashed to the meeting hall, because no one messed with Zeus.
