taxonomites | III. [Holo]

Hercules was not quite planning a big production number. But when he started thinking about what it would be like to actual settle into this place, well... the song in his heart became the song he was singing out loud.

"I have often dreamed
Of a far-off place
Where a hero's welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday
I can go the distance
I will find my way
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while

When I go the distance
I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road
To embrace my fate
Though that road may wander
It will lead me to you
And a thousand years
Would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime
But somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back
I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track
No, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope
But I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance
And my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
A hero's strength is measured by his heart
Ooooooooooooooooooo

Like a shooting star
I will go the distance
I will search the world
I will face its heart
I don't care how far
I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting In your arms

I will search the world
I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome
Waiting in your arms."

Herc then pauses, having totally diva-ed out during that whole thing.

"What didst just happen?"

I thank you. But whom am I thanking?

My name's Piper. Piper Halliwell. And yours is...?

Hercules.

That Hercules.

...oh. Okay. [ she's in between believing him and not believing him, but Piper has always given people the benefit of the doubt. ]

Um. I've met Hermes. Do you guys... know each other? At least, here in Taxon?

He is not the Hermes of my world. But yes, we are acquainted. Olympians must stick together, no matter the difference.

I agree. Even if... well, considering who you are, I doubt you find it difficult to be here.

It is quite containing, that I cannot refute.

But I also seem to be surrounded by fair women, which I cannot argue with.

[ she laughs again. ] How many fair women have you met, so far?

I have yet to meet a woman in this place that does not seem quite pleasing! It is practically unreal.

And I bet you like the attention they pay you.

I always can do with a bit more... attention.
