I look up and I see two people on a Pegasus. I don't have a weapon. I draw back.
"You mind letting me go?" Phil asks.
"Depends on if I need you for insurance." I say.
I grip the tail.
"Hercules! My dear come down; we have someone for you to meet." The mother says.
"Put me down!" Phil gurgles.
The horse with a blue mane dives down. I grip Phil. I know foes not friends. I have been hurt, betrayed, and almost killed a thousand times over. I just want to go home to my wife and my son. I'm not taking any chances. The man jumps down. He's a lot bigger than I first suspected. The girl slides off.
"This is Hercules?" I raise an eyebrow.
"You bet sonny! Now for Zeus' sake put me down!" Phil yells.
"I never care for Zeus." I say.
"Who's this?" The girl walks forward.
I draw back.
"Help! Meg tell him to put me down!" Phil yells.
"Put him down please." Hercules says.
"Depends on if you're going to kill me or not." I shrug.
"Kill you? Why would we kill you? We don't even know you." Meg points out.
"Do you need a reason for bloodshed?" I ask.
"YES!" Phil yells.
"Drop him son." The father says.
I nod. I let go and he falls on his head.
"Ow! Watch it boy!" Phil grunts.
"We said our names. Now, what's yours?" Meg walks forward.
"Odysseus." I say.
