The good side

Eventually we reached a large hall. All around me there were heroes and good guys, as far as the eye could see...it terrified me. As we entered the room my heart froze as hundreds of eyes fixated on me, standing with Jack, who was in chains.

"What is the meaning of this?" A booming voice called out causing the crowds to part and reveal the once god-Hercules. He rode forward on his loyal pet Pegasus with his lady friend (Megara I think her name is) riding behind looking rather proud, which peeved me off no end. Next to Hercules on his left strode a majestic adult lion who must represent the animal component of the good side in the battle. On the right, in a swirling mass of water that seemed to be being held up by nothing in particular, swam who I could only assume to be Triton, King of the Sea and ruler of the oceans. So this is how they are planning to win I mused by combining the power of the sea and its inhabitants, with the animal kingdom, on top of which with the heroes of the land and (seeing as Hercules is the apparent leader) I am guessing the "good Gods" are offering their support as well.

"Who are you?" The voice of Hercules bringing me back to reality, "And why is one of our most valuable assets being carried by a huge snowman in chains?"

Stepping forward, I start towards Hercules but I am stopped by multiple weapons being pointed in my direction. So instead of advancing I stop where I am. "So the heroes are being led by 'Hercules the fallen God' how precious" I say clasping my hands, "however I thought it was customary for fallen Gods to join the side of villainy not heroism. You should have followed your uncle's lead, he at least knows where he stands in the balance of good and evil"
"I am NOT my uncle nor have I fallen from grace, I stayed on Earth to be with my true love, Meg"
"Typical hero ideologies thinking true love exists, well sorry to disappoint but there are only certain things in this life that can't be truly fabricated. And they are the feelings of hate and anger and sadness, love is petty and a weakness meaning it can never be true"
"You are wrong" Hercules replies getting off Pegasus, "just because you may not have found the one you want to spend the rest of your life with doesn't mean it is an illusion"
"Ha, shows what you know, I happen to be engaged" I say with spite showing off my engagement ring. A creation of black metal warped into a deadly point.
"To who?" A new voice says. Emerging from the crowd is none other than my cousin Rapunzel whom I have not spoken to in years and who I can't stand for always being so happy.
"Well" I begin to say as a walk in a dramatic arc around the company occasionally touching their weapon's tips to show my lack of fear and knowing that what I say will provoke them, "I am to be married to, none other, than Pitch Black when this petty war is over and you are all dead"

Smirking I turn back towards Jack who is ignoring all his surroundings. "So here is what I propose, take me to my sister and I will return Mr Frost to you all. But" I say turning back to Hercules and his lackeys, "if I do not see my sister or if something irreversible has happened to her, Jack will be the first of you all to die" and then to add to their fear I let out a cackle that always struck fear into me when I heard Pitch's loyal witches make the horrifying sound.
"Now shall we?" I say gesturing towards Hercules.
"Yes but this is only for Jack's sake, villain"
"Fine by me Herc" I say in a way that has the desired effect on Megara. She dismounts Pegasus and comes storming towards me, with very little effort I freeze her, only stopping when she is almost encased. "Now then she can breathe muscle boy but you won't be breaking her out because if you break that ice your way she will die by your strength, however if we get a move on she will either melt or I must unfreeze her safely. Jack could of course but he is a little chained up at the moment"

With anguish in his eyes Hercules turns away from Megara and calls back to me "if you want to see your sister then follow me".
