| Story: Megara is a very special heroine. Special how? She's the first Disney heroine with essential knowledge: All men are idiots. But they're nevertheless lovable. Her sandals had to go a long way to learn that. Since that time when she sold her soul to the Underworld God Hades to save her boyfriend, and he broke up with her still, she's not very keen on romance. That is until Hercules stumbles into her life. Definitely the oddest guy she's ever set her purple eyes upon. For one, he's so strong he could lift her up with a finger, but at the same time he's totally clumsy and naive and somewhat...sweet. He's so overwhelmed by her that his tongue seems to have one of those tough, greek knots in it. Surprisingly, it's none other but this Herc that Hades has chosen as his numero uno archnemesis. The boy, in fact, is Hades' own nephew, his brother Zeus's son, and Hades stole him from Mount Olympus as a baby, to make him mortal and kill him. First thing suceeded, but Hercules survived - so now Hades sends an entire army of beasts against him - Nothing helps. Meg watches this all from her own point of view, and is growing fonder of "Wonderboy" than she wants to admit. Hades sends Meg to flirt around with him a bit and find out if he has any freakin weakness. Herc enjoys Meg's company more than anyone else's, and that feeling is mutual, but, well...Meg is torn like never before. She has fallen in love, though she thought she'd have learned from the past, she doesn't want to be hurt again. She must work for Hades, but she knows she brings Hercules in danger. Arrgh, love's more complicated than all of the mazes in all Greek myths combined! Hades makes use of this situation, knowing now that Herc would do ANYTHING for Megara. Even sacrifice his own life. But not only Hades watches this, and there are a lot of gods on Mount Olympus that have a lot more sanity in their immortal heads than him. They appreciate Herc's sacrifice and are willing to give him immortality - but what is an immortal life without Meg? So when Hades is defeated, Hercules and Megara can cherish their love - for a limited, mortal time, but they both know it'll be worth it. |    |
