Hercules in the Underworld Page #4

Whoo! ( Laughs )

Looks like a good day to travel.

I was afraid we might have rain,

but it looks like we're be just fine.

I hope that's enough

to get you there.

Hey. What's wrong with you?

Nothing. I'm fine. It's just--

It's just that I'm gonna miss you,

that's all.

I'm gonna miss you too.

Hey, Nessus. Let's go.

Why don't you go give your dad

a big kiss goodbye, okay?

I want to thank you for taking

such good care of me.

I was in a pretty horrid state

when I arrived.

It's nice to see that

you're feeling better today.

Oh, here. I want you to have this.

Absolutely not, Iole.

I can't accept this.

Please, Deianeira.

It would make me very happy

if you'd accept it and wear it.

All right, then. I will. Thank you.

- You gonna be good? You promise?

- Yep.

- Gonna miss me?

- No. ( Laughs )

- You ready?

- Yeah.

AESON:
Bye, Dad. Come back soon.

( Villagers Chattering )

Chickens! Chickens! Here's chickens.

Two dinar! Two dinar!

MAN:
Fresh bread. Hot from the oven!

You'll never buy better! Fresh bread.

You get bread here now.

One dinar! Only one dinar.

My deepest sympath. I'm so sorry.

I don't know what you mean.

For the loss of your husband.

My condolences.

- My husband's fine.

- But you have the medallion.

That tells me you've lost your husband.

This was just a gift.

A gift from a sweet, beautiful girl?

Yes. How do you know that?

Do you know her?

I knew one like her once.

She's a Nurian Maiden.

- Still, why would you think my husband was dead?

- When a task need be done.

These beautiful virgins can

persuade a man to attempt it.

No, not Hercules. She has no power

over him. If you'll excuse me.

She has power over all men.

From the moment of birth, she's

trained for this and only this.

She knows all there is to know

about love, charm...

and seduction.

She'll make your husband

fall in love with her.

And when he does,

he'll do everything she asks,

even though it leads him

to his death.

No, you're wrong.

This medallion doesn't mean anything.

I tried to tell myself that once.

( Gasps )

Deianeira, I don't think you should go.

She's just some old crazy woman.

But the things that she said!

She knew!

And I have to warn Hercules.

But it could be dangerous, and you're

not even sure you know the right way.

Please, just take care of the children.

That's all I'm asking.

- Aeson, come here.

- Why?

I have to go away for a while,

but I'll be back soon.

Your Aunt Althea's gonna take care

of you, but you're a big boy.

- You're gonna take care of your brother

and sister. - Okay.

- I love you.

- I love you too, Mom.

- Bye, sweetie.

- Bye.

- How's it look down there? Any better?
