The predator found his target, but he wouldn't strike just yet. There was a better time, a better place. There were others he wanted to destroy. He watched the two girls play in the water. 'She looks so much like her', he reminisced. He then slipped back into the shadows from which he came. Meg felt a sudden chill crawl up her spine. She thought she felt someone's eyes watching her. But there was no one in any direction she turned. "Meg, are you alright?" Asked Zebra, snapping Meg back to reality. "Ya", she said shaking herself. "I'm fine." Chapter 6
Zebra splashed water at Meg to get her attention. "Now you're gonna get it", said Meg playfully. She ran after Zebra and gave her all she had. "Alright, I give up!" Admitted Zebra, after being dunked under for the third time. They both laughed until their sides hurt. That strange feeling came over Meg again, and this time, she knew where it was coming from. She stopped and listened hard. "What is it?" Asked Zebra, alarmed by Meg's sudden change in stature. Meg pressed a finger to her lips, gesturing for her to keep silent. She moved stealthily over to some bushes and unsheathed her dagger from her thigh. Zebra cowered behind her. Meg kept a tight grip and sprang over the bush, hoping to have the element of surprise. What she saw was the ugliest creature she had ever seen. The thing looked morphed. She flinched, but then let out a cry and was about to stab down, ending the creature's life. "Wait! Wait! I'm sorry! I was just passing by." Meg paused, shocked. The ugly creature could speak! "You've got about five seconds to explain yourself before I slit you from ear to ear." She threatened, bearing her teeth. "Wait! Meg, please don't hurt him!" Hercules came running toward them. Meg relaxed, but didn't re-sheath her weapon. The creature stood up and brushed himself off. "Don't you know who I am! I'm Philoctetes, trainer of hero's." Hercules crouched down by the hero trainer, "This little guy, is the one who trained me." Zebra came forward. "It's alright Meg." She offered her hand, "It's nice to meet you Philoctetes." She said pleasantly. He took her hand and laid a kiss on it. "Please, call me Phil." Meg finally re-sheathed her weapon. "What are you?" She asked scrunching up her nose. "Haven't you ever seen a Satyr before?" His hands on his hips. Herc chuckled, this scene was all too familiar.Meg shook her head. "He's half-man, half-goat", Herc added, slapping him on the back. "I've seen goats and men, but not in one body." Said Meg, still perplexed. "Do you know these two dames kid?" Herc stood up, "They're goddesses from Asgard, here to help discuss the treaty." Phil sized up the two girls. He indicated Meg, "I warned you about barbarians kid." Meg scowled and Zebra snickered. "Phil!" Herc said scolding. He finally noted their new clothing. "You girls look like you could really fit in here." Meg and Zebra looked at each other and grinned. "My father has a special celebration planned for tomorrow." He added. "Odin wanted you to return to Olympus for a meeting." "We'd better get back." Said Zebra. "It was a pleasure Phil." She smiled. Phil bowed. Herc decided to stay and catch up with his old friend. The girls left and headed back to Olympus.

Chapter 7
As Herc waved goodbye to the girls, Phil nudged his knee (That's all he could reach). "You like that Meg character, don't ya?" Hercules blushed bright red. "No......no..." He rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "Well........ya." He finally admitted. "I've known you too long, not to be able to read your face kid." Herc frowned, "But she doesn't seem to like me." Phil played with his beard. "Listen kid, I'm not very fond of her. Seeing how she almost killed me!" He said grunting. "But if you like her enough, you should go for it." Herc hugged his old friend. "Thanks Phil." The girls arrived back on Olympus. Zebra knocked on the door of where Odin was staying. "Enter", he called. They stepped in and Meg closed the door behind them. Odin gestured for them to sit, and they obeyed. He pressed his fingers together and rested his head there. "As you know, Zeus has planned a celebration feast for us." They nodded. "I'm not worried about you, Zebra. I just wanted to make sure with you Meg." He pointed at her. "That you don't repeat the incident with Thor, here." Meg nearly scoffed, but thought better of it. "I assure you Odin, I will act honorably and do whatever I can to see that this alliance is fulfilled." Odin only half-smiled. But, he knew she meant it. "I have met with Zeus, and I believe that they will be a wonderful asset to Asgard. We will resume this meeting after the feast. There, it will be decided whether or not, they will join forces with us." They all agreed. "I want you two fully rested, so I will ask you to retire to your quarters. Twilight is upon us." They looked outside, and the sky had darkened. They bowed respectively to Odin and left. Odin was still uncertain about what Mimir had told him; that the alliance could only be fully sealed through marriage. This was partly the reason why he'd brought the two girls. Despite what he told them, he found it difficult to fall asleep himself. In the girl's quarters, Zebra was alight with chatter. "Isn't this place beautiful?" Zebra went on. "The sun, the sea, the rich formations......." "Yes", said Meg placing a pillow over her head. "Please put out that candle and go to sleep." She was reminded why she lived away from the other gods. "What are you going to do about Hercules?" Zebra wondered. "What?!" Said Meg, sitting up in bed. "You must be talking in your sleep, cause I know you're dreaming." She laid back down. "I mean it!" Zebra persisted. "He likes you, and I want to know; what you're gonna do about it." Meg took a deep breath. "He's.....a pleasant fellow, but......there's no place in my life for that." And that ended that. Zebra would have argued further, but she knew it would do no good. She blew out the candle and watched as the billowing smoke rose to the ceiling. She snuggled down and attempted to sleep. She was soon granted such. Meg, on the other hand, had a difficult time falling asleep. That feeling she had earlier on the beach never fully left her. She didn't know why it was making her so uneasy. But, exhaustion soon caught up with her, and she was asleep. That night, Meg dreamed about something that she hadn't since she was a child. She dreamed about her parents. When she was a young girl, she would dream about them and wondered what they were like. Though she was hurt, she couldn't help feeling curious. She knew so little about them. She only knew that she looks very much like her mother. Not much had been said about her father. In this particular dream; she imagined herself being brought up by her parents. They loved her and wanted nothing more than her happiness. They swung her by her chubby, little girl arms. They threw her up in the air and her father caught her. He started tickling her and she started to giggle, he did too. From the eastern sky, a cloud moved in and darkened the sky to a pitch blackness. The air was so thick, Meg could almost touch it. Her parents were being sucked into the darkness. Meg started to panic. She turned this way and that, trying to find them. Suddenly, two large, yellow eyes appear within the darkness. Frightened, Meg tries to run from the menacing eyes. But, a hand appears, grabbing Meg's and pulling her into the darkened void. Her hands searched desperately for something to hold her back. She screamed until her throat went raw, and......... End of Chapter 7 (More?)

Chapter 8 Meg sat up, gasping for breath. She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand, and found it damp with sweat. She then placed her hand over her heart, which was returning to normal rhythm. She looked over at Zebra to make sure she hadn't disturbed her. She just snored deeply and turned to lay on her side. Meg fell back down to a laying position. She put her open palm over her forehead. 'What a nightmare!' She thought, still shaking. 'What could it mean?' She stared at the ceiling, trying to piece it together. Her eye's grew heavy. Until she could keep them open no longer, she fell back into a dreamless sleep. Meg wakes up to find Zebra deeply involved in an opened scroll. She watched her as she continued to scribble words violently onto the blank page. Meg cleared her throat, trying not to startle her. Zebra turned her head and smiled. "Good morning Meg, how are you?" Meg sat up. "I'm fine, why do you ask?" Zebra studied her a minute, "I heard you moaning in your sleep." Meg looked away, "It was just a bad dream, nothing more. What cha' working on there?" She asked, not wanting to talk about how frightening her dream really was. Zebra held up the scroll to show her, "It's Asgard's history scrolls." Meg went for a closer examination. "I've never read through it before. What's in it?" "Just sketches and descriptions of all the gods since Asgard's creation. And, of course, all the historic events that have taken place among us." Meg was intrigued, "You don't think my parents are listed in there, do you?" Zebra looked thoughtful, "I have come across their names. But their pictures seem to have torn, or erased." Meg went down the list, and indeed, their names were listed but that was it. The sketch was torn from the page. Meg read the names, "Sigard and Brynhild". According to the description; Sigard was an unknown god. No one knew where he came from. Brynhild was a Valkyrie. Meg unrolled another section. "Who's this?" She asked, pointing to god with yellow eyes. "That's Loki, the trickster god", said Zebra, remembering from her studies. "He supposedly vanished or disappeared, years ago." Meg continued to look at the so called, trickster. Something was oddly familiar about him. "You'd better get dressed. The feast is scheduled for this afternoon." Zebra informed. Meg pried her eye's from the picture and set to prepare for the day. The girls met with Odin, and together, they entered the dining room. All the Olympian gods stood to welcome the Norse visitors. Odin sat next to Zeus and Hera. Meg and Zebra sat in the only two seats left, one being next to Hercules. At Zebra's right, a handsome dark haired, dark eyed god, smiled and winked at her. Zebra blushed bright red. 'Wow', she thought. He took her hand, "I am Helios, at your service my lady." He pressed his lips to her hand. To say the least, her attention was his. Meg knew she couldn't count on her for conversation. She turned to her left and there was Hercules. "Hi Meg!" He sent her a smile, and she returned it. She was actually quite fond of him. But not in a physical way. At least, that's what she kept telling herself as she casually glanced at his muscled bicep. She shook herself, 'Keep it together girl'. She muttered to herself. Zeus arose and asked for silence, "I believe I have made my decision." He announced. "If everybody agrees, I would like to form a bond with our Norse friends." All the gods raised their goblets and cheered. It was unanimous. The bond would be signed. Everyone gathered together as the two kings imprinted their names in stone. Meg and Zebra signed as witnesses. Zeus and Odin shook hands. Later, in Odin's quarters, Zebra recorded the days events. She was in a hurry because, she planned to meet Helios later. "Our work is done here, in the morning, we shall return to Asgard", Odin informed them. "Go, enjoy yourselves until then." He dismissed them. As they left, Odin pondered what had taken place that day. No signs of marriage had arose. Perhaps Ol' Mimir was wrong. The girls arrived in their room. "Would you like to join me and Helios tonight?" Zebra invited. She pictured herself as a third wheel. "No thanks Zebra, you go and have fun, you deserve it." Zebra felt a bit bad, leaving Meg all alone. "But, what will you do?" "I'll probably go to bed early. Just don't do anything I wouldn't do." They both laughed and she gave Meg a hug.
