"Gotta clear my head of anger and greed." Greece was a bigger place than Sora remembered. Its winding streets and many bazaars were confusing; having left his gummi ship stashed somewhere private, he was starting to understand why he usually landed right in front of the coliseum. Standing between two stalls, Sora consulted his map. Two angry sounding old men bickered back and forth on either side of him, shouting things that he was sure were probably cuss words or old curses while they tried to get him to peruse their wares. As far as he could tell, they were rivals of some kind. It made him a little uncomfortable, but as he twisted the map upside down, he was aware that he had bigger things to worry about. Namely, finding out where the heck he was. He could see the coliseum in the distance, towering over the city like some kinda monument, but that didn't help him all that much. The backstreets of the city were complex, and though the place worked like a big old hill, he kept finding dead ends. Or, you know, winding up at the same cross section between two old men. Sora pointed at his map with his index finger, pulled it back, and then bit down on it while he looked back up at the coliseum looming on the horizon. After a long, tense second, he finally advanced down the road, leaving the two bickering merchants behind to shout after him instead of at each other. An hour later, he finally found himself at the gates of the vestibule. Map still in hand, Sora jogged happily through the entrance, giving himself a little mental cheer as he imagined breaking through the tape at a Grecian marathon. "Hey! Phil! Herc! I'm back!"
His shouts echoed as he neared the coliseum's main entrance, guarded by massive statues. They loomed over Sora's head as he shouted into the interior, wary of opening the door. What if they were training already? Without him? Herc was a pretty strong guy, after all... he probably didn't get that way by slacking off. Stuffing his map into one of his many pockets, Sora pushed through the door and called out one last time. He hoped he wasn't just running into an empty coliseum, which... uh, seemed pretty likely, since he couldn't actually hear any crowds or anything. "Hello?! Anybody home?"MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOXOGRPHY 2.0

[attr="class","ig"] [attr="class","ninety"] [attr="class","joker"] [attr="class","game"] for @artiel @natalie Sorry it's not super long.
[attr="class","kikan"] Megara’s lilac eyes lazily drifted open as she’d pushed herself up onto her elbows, propping herself on one of the Coliseum’s spectator benches using her forearm. Her nose scrunched upwards in disgust as she’d glanced down at the sweat stained silhouette she’d left during her brief recovery nap. Who would have known, she could sweat that much just doing two laps around the arena, what made it more concerning was the fact she’d taken a handful of breaks in order to catch her breath – seldom she’d perform perhaps five or six pushups or squats before that muscle group threatened to give out on her. She’d switched her wardrobe up during her training sessions, trading her lilac floor length dress for an athletic white mid-thigh robe that was trimmed with faux gold mixed with a few ancient symbols. She’d made a trip to the bazaar in order to purchase them after she’d torn one of her dresses – it was her favorite one too. She’d swung her length legs over the side of the bench, reluctantly descending a flight of stairs that lead down to the Arena floor. From there, she’d made her way into the shaded interior of the Coliseum, pausing momentarily when she’d heard Sora’s voice – mostly because they were shouting for Herucules and Phil. Why did this voice sound so familiar? Megara wondered as she’d made her way towards the entrance. Before she could make it that far, she heard the distinct sound of the marble doors as they’d scrapped across the ground. For a moment she’d stood perfectly still, smiling to herself when Sora’s voice broke the pleasant silence. “One second kid.” She’d replied as she’d rounded a corner and found herself face to face with the little pipsqueak. She’d smiled fondly as she’d recalled how Sora had helped her and Hercules. If it weren’t for him, she’d probably have ended up in the River Styx again and Hercules wouldn’t have regained his confidence. “Sora, it’s been quite a while, what brings you back to Athens?” She asked as she’d brought her arms across her chest only to rest them directly beneath her bosom.

| Kairi had been sent here with a purpose: to train herself to fight even stronger enemies. Why specifically here? She had been told that this is a safe and controlled environment which meant that there was always someone watching, just in case anything went wrong.
Even though it wasn't her first time travelling alone, this was her first time that she had been somewhere else of her own volition (her trip to Twilight Town was a result of a threat from Axel so that didn't count). When she had first travelled across worlds, her body had been comatose and as for herself, she could experience the things from within Sora's heart.
She reminds herself to focus on the task at hand: she is here to train and be stronger so that she would be well-prepared for the storm looming ahead for them. There were so many worlds, so many innocents being threatened by the forces of evil. Would she suffice for sitting around, doing nothing and just waiting?
Kairi's had enough of that. No more waiting around, not when she had been offered the chance to help and do something useful. If there was one thing Kairi discovered about herself, it was probably the fact that she hated being left behind.
Gigantic doors loomed over her petite stature and if not for the grandiose aura of the environment, Kairi would have felt intimidated by them. She marched in, surprised to find a lack of people in the main area. She followed the corridor, hearing sounds grow louder as she drew closer to its source.
When her eyes landed on chocolate-coloured spikes, Kairi found herself grinning from ear to ear as she called out his name while waving her hands frantically.
"Sora!"

"Gotta clear my head of anger and greed." It didn't take long for a familiar voice to call back to him, even if it wasn't the one he expected. Sora lumbered forward to greet Meg as she came around a corner, meeting the younger boy with a soft smile. Sora returned her grin in kind, glad to see somebody that he knew. Meg crossed her arms over her chest, clearly waiting for the brown-haired boy to say something about why he might've been there or what he was up to. Instead, Sora offered her a friendly wave, letting his hands rest on his hips while he peered over her shoulder. He was glad to see her, but he was definitely expecting somebody else. "Hey there, Meg," he said, peering up at her face. "Long time no see!"Sora considered asking her where he could find Herc or Phil, but decided against it. Meg was a pretty good friend too, even if she wasn't as strong as Hercules or capable of shooting lightning bolts out of her hands like his father. She was a different, better kind of friend — someone who would do whatever they could to protect their loved ones, with or without immense power. Plus, Sora was pretty sure that she was a lot smarter than Herc or Phil, anyway. Intelligence was a lot more useful than raw strength. At least, according to Yen Sid it was. The thought made Sora think. Unless he was mistaken, it looked an awful lot like she was getting some training of her own done. Sora rubbed his chin for a second, wondering if she might want some kind of partner in whatever kinda training she was doing. He was more used to target practice than anything else, but he was pretty sure he could keep up with whatever her regimen was. Turning his thoughts to what she'd said last, Sora nodded, as if he totally knew where Athens was and wasn't questioning his navigational skills at all. "Athens is, uh, this place, right? I'm actually here to get some training done," he explained. "Are you training too? You..."A voice called out to him and Sora turned, his ear snagged by the sound like a fish on a hook. A shock of red hair bobbed around a familiar looking face. Sora gasped and ran right at Kairi, practically hopping up and down in excitement. "Woah! Kairi! What're you doing here? Have..." Sora turned, pointing to Meg. A big grin was plastered across his face, clearer than the sun hanging in the sky overhead. "Have ya met Meg?"Sora turned back to Meg, then jerked his thumb in Kairi's direction. He was so glad to see her; now that they were both in training, they could finally hang out and be friends and explore the universe. It didn't even occur to him that they might run into each other at random. "Megara, meet Kairi! Kairi, meet Megara! She's a friend of Herc's."Sora paused his frenetic introduction for just long enough to consider what he'd just said. Turning to Kairi, Sora thought for a second. "Actually, do you know Herc?" It was as if her arrival was opening an entirely new world to him, one that he could finally share with somebody other than Donald and Goofy. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOXOGRPHY 2.0

[attr="class","ig"] [attr="class","ninety"] [attr="class","joker"] [attr="class","game"] for @natiel notes here
[attr="class","kikan"] Megara’s spindly fingers impatiently drummed against the middle of her bicep as she’d awaited Sora’s reasoning behind his unexpected visit – not that it inconvenienced her in the slightest. Her brow arched upwards at Sora’s childish antics, uncertain of how to interpret it. Oh, how she envied Sora’s innocence, sometimes she’d genuinely doubted if he understood just how cruel the world could be? Though, she didn’t wish for him to discover such a thing anytime soon – he was still much too young. Sora’s greeting snapped her from her train of deep though. How long it had been since Sora had last visited the Coliseum. Megara couldn’t say for certain, however, it’d definitely been quite a while – Phil, Hercules and herself had managed to repair the Coliseum to its’ former glory in his absence. Her facial muscles tightened as she’d tried to prevent her own jaw from dropping in disbelief. How had Sora managed to thwart Hade’s nefarious plans, slay a Hydra, help Hercules regain his confidence but not know that the Coliseum was located in the heart of Athens? She’d gave a curt nod of her head to confirm Sora’s train of thought, secretly biting her own tongue as she’d felt a sarcastic retort trying to work itself free. Fortunately, Sora managed to change effortlessly navigate the conversation away from his previous blunder and circumnavigate back to answering her question. So, Sora had come back to the Colisieum for training, however, neither Phil nor Hercules were present due to running some errands – gathering necessary supplies to construct training dummies. “Hmm, Yes I ….” Megara trailed off as Sora’s head snapped in the direction of the red-head that had called his name, Kairi. She couldn’t help but chuckle to herself as Sora bounced back and forth excitably before ran in Kairi’s direction. Both of the youth’s actions reminded Megara of her past, albeit it wasn’t fond memories – no these were ones that had made her bitter and jaded. She’d remembered being infatuated with a certain man, one whom she’d sold her very soul to the God of the Underworld, Hades, in order to save – only to be betrayed. When inquired if the two knew each other, Megara shook her head. When Sora introduced herself as Hercules friend, she’d glanced down at the golden band on her ring finger. Had Sora simply not noticed it before? She was entirely certain that she’d never took it off, mostly because it was an endeavor and a half. ‘Sora… Hercules, he isn’t my friend, he is my husband…” Megara corrected him, taking a moment to gesture to the ring on her finger. “So is this your girlfriend Sora?” Megara asked bluntly, not bothering to beat around the bushes.

| Kairi found herself blushing at the statement. If only that were true.
"Nice to meet you, Megara," she lets out a giggle the moment she regained composure before turning her attention back to Sora. Kairi pauses for a moment and tries to remember anything about a Hercules. There are vague memories from two years ago but even then, that's far too long ago for her to remember anything, especially since she hadn't been in her own body.
There was something about this lady she couldn't quite place a finger on but there was a sense of confidence instilled in her, mixed with something else. There was an air of maturity about her, reminiscent of someone who had gone through some tough times in her life.
"We're childhood friends," Kairi said, before adding on, "Best friends, actually."

"Gotta clear my head of anger and greed." Sora blinked when Meg corrected him, revealing something he totally should've known. Holding back a gasp, Sora glanced down at the ring on her finger, hardly able to believe that he hadn't seen it before! Suddenly, things that already made sense made even more sense. Making a mental note to congratulate Hercules the next time he saw him, Sora put both hands behind his head and offered up a playful smile in place of an apology. Realistically, he probably should've noticed before, but there were tons of things going on! Dark, evil, dastardly things! Who could blame him for not noticing? Donald. Donald would have blamed him for not noticing in a heartbeat. Riku too, probably. Clearing his throat, Sora hastily gave his very best, very belated congratulations. "Oh, wow! I didn't even notice! Congrats, Meg!"When Meg brought up Kairi — who she thought was his girlfriend — Sora went red. Instead of hiding his face, he threw up a pair of quick, warning-like jazz hands that were meant to dispel such a possibility. He and Kairi weren't dating! He wouldn't have minded that, but — but they weren't and it would've been weird to — shaking his head, Sora quickly jerked his thumb at Kairi as she clarified things. Still, a tinge of playful red lingered in the young hero's cheeks, plastered there like little stickers while the thought refused to leave his head. It was hard to dispel, especially with Kairi right there, and... For the first time, they were going to be saving the world together. It wasn't just him anymore. She wasn't someone he could just chase blindly after; now that she was standing beside him, things were different. Even as he reminded himself of that, he stole a glance in Kairi's direction, as if picturing something far off and far away. "So," he interrupted, clearing his throat and pushing the thought out of his mind. "Were you getting some training done, Meg? I was actually looking for Hercules to do some training of my own."Sora crossed his arms over his chest, the standard grin that he always wore finally replacing the vestiges of embarrassment that lingered in his cheeks. A change of subject would do him a world of good! "How about we all work together? Y'know, get stronger as a team," Sora suggested, his fingers drumming an invisible, inaudible beat against his elbows. "Can't hurt, can it?"Then, suddenly looking a little fickle, he tilted his head. There were, he figured, other things to do. At least, if they wanted to do anything specific. He still didn't know why Kairi was in Athens, after all. "I mean, we could do something else, too!"

[attr="class","ig"] [attr="class","ninety"] [attr="class","joker"] [attr="class","game"] for@Artiel @natiel notes here
[attr="class","kikan"] Megara couldn’t help but smile as Sora’s childish antics, from the way he’d gawked at her ring to the way he’d nervously tucked his hands behind his head. It was reassuring to see that he hadn’t changed much since their last encounter. Megara tentatively reached down towards her ring, deliberately tracing it with the tip of her index finger. Her own cheeks grew flush as she’d recalled the day of her wedding, it’d had been a grand ordeal among the Gods’ – albeit that might have been because of Zeus’ involvement. Truthfully, she’d still yet to open a handful of the gifts that she’d received due the notes attached. She still had a small box from Hephaestus, the note attached read to only open it once she’d discovered her fighting spirit. What did that mean? Megara had asked herself that countless times since then, not to mention she’d also forgotten where she’d tucked it away. She couldn’t help but chuckle as Sora’s face went beet red, his hands shot up and waved about frantically. Before Sora could formulate a response, Kairi had interjected claiming that they were childhood friends, best friends at that. Still, Megara wasn’t daft enough to miss how Kairi had blushed as well at her statement. Ah, yes, young love it was so blissfully naïve. Sadly, most didn’t realize what they’d had until it was too late and it was long gone. Deep down, Megara prayed that wasn’t the case for Sora or Kairi – even though she scarcely knew the latter. Megara was pulled from her thought by the sound of Sora’s voice as he’d once more inquired about her training. She’d paused for a moment, her eyes drifting towards the ground as she’d hesitated to answer the question. “I am Sora, although I’d like to keep it a secret from Hercules. I don’t want Wonder boy doubting himself…. Just a girl gets tired of always being rescued.”Megara admitted, somehow, she’d felt that she could trust Sora to keep her secret – at least for the time being that was. “Sadly, Hercules and Phil are busy running errands, they mentioned they needed to gather supplies for building the training dummies.”
She’d admitted with a dejected sigh, evidently dejected by the fact she hadn’t been invited along. However, it made sense though, Pegasus could only seat two people at the most safely – Phil’s stout body kind of pushed the envelope. How did he remain so robust, especially, when the entirety of his job revolved around training the future generations of Hero’s? “I wouldn’t mind the company, running laps gets quite boring after a while.”Megara admitted reluctantly, inwardly she was cringing at the mere notion of running a few more laps. Her attention shifted from Sora to Kairi “I think its’ up to your “ friend”, she hasn’t been to Athens before has she?”When Meg said the word “friend”, she’d made a series of air quotes, once again poking fun at the little pipsqueak.

| "Congratulations," Kairi said the girl, pleased that she had managed to find happiness with someone. She hadn't noticed that the wedding ring at all; it wasn't a very conspicuous at all.
Kairi could relate to Meg: tired of being rescued all the time, always being the one to stay behind while her friends fought the greater fight. If her friends were going to be heroes, she would join them too. She felt the familiar hum of her heart, indicating Naminé's presence: the girl seemed to be agreeing with her sentiments.
She chuckled lightly at the air quotes Megara displayed. Well, girls were girls. With Meg being married, Kairi was certain she knew about the certain stages of romance. Although whatever she had just said was nothing but the truth, Kairi knew she wished they could be more than just friends.
However, with Sora being Sora, that would be a long way to go.
"Training together sounds great," Kairi smiled at the older lady. "I haven't been here before but I was sent here with the intention to become stronger. Well, more well-prepared than anything else." The one thing she wanted to do was to help protect her friends and their loved ones, as well as her own. Not only is she a Princess of Heart, she is also a Keyblader and thus, she had twice the responsibility but she never complained about it, not once.
After all, it was a responsibility and, possibly, a burden she was willing to take.

"Gotta clear my head of anger and greed." Sora rubbed his chin.He didn't wanna run any laps and he didn't wanna spend hours breaking pots, like Phil made him do. Something told him that trying to train Meg & Kairi to use magic was a dumb idea; they were smart enough to get that on their own. What could he do with them that would actually make a big difference? Kairi could fight, kinda, but he didn't think he had it in him to hit her... and he was sure that Meg was scrappy enough to pick fighting up, if she didn't already know how to, but hitting Meg didn't sound like it would be fun. There were other reasons for not wanting to fight her, though, specifically.Besides not wanting to deal with a potentially offended Hercules, he was pretty sure that Meg could defend herself aptly enough without his help. She'd been Hades's agent, hadn't she? If anything, she could probably fend for herself better than Phil could.The brunette's gaze flickered over Meg's shoulder, toward the arena. Fighting and running was out. Maybe he could learn something else with them, that hopefully none of them knew how to do? The question remained of how they would do it without a teacher, but... that wasn't his most important concern. Maybe Meg already knew how to do what he had in mind anyway, and could teach he and Kairi."Hey," he said, turning to the redheads beside him with curiosity alive in his eyes. "Do either of you guys know how to ride a chariot? I've only seen two horses in my whole life, and one of them can fly, so I never really figured out how to do it."He didn't bother to mention the fact that he once rode on the back of a dark lightning dragon in China. Besides the fact that it wasn't particularly relevant, he had the feeling that knowing how to ride a dragon wasn't the same thing as knowing how to drive a chariot. He couldn't, as far as he knew, drive much of anything; he could pilot a gummi ship, but he'd never gotten a license or anything."I was gonna say we could just fight each other, but that doesn't sound very fun. Plus, I've never gotten to ride a chariot before, so why not kill two birds with one stone?"MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOXOGRPHY 2.0

OOC:((Hope it's ok for me to be here, Dieter/Meg asked me to.))
Things had been pretty quiet in Greece since the defeat of Hades and the efforts toward saving Meg and Auron from his grasp. There was the occasional Heartless or Nobody attack but other than that, things were pretty calm. Hercules was one that was early to rise every single day of the week. He didn’t like wasting the day, but he wasn’t going to wake up who laid right next to him. The love of his life, Megara, comically hiding her face from the rising sun as she subconsciously tried to get more hours of rest in. Hercules gave her a light kiss on the forehead and left to the Coliseum to workout early and run some errands that Phil asked him to tend to. He strapped on his signature outfit and left for the workout of his life. It was a short walk to the training center since they lived so close, which was convenient, but Hercules always wanted a home on the hills overlooking a lake or the sea, just like his Earth parents’ home, or looking over the valleys of the countryside. Hercules loved the city, but he was never too far away from work as long as he was near it. Someone was always causing trouble, luckily, Herc had been blessed with the abilities to keep the peace of Greece.
As Hercules made his way to the training center, he got started with his workout. With laser-like focus, he pushed himself to do better each day. To hone his skills as well as his control over his powers, he needed extensive training. Now that he was a demi god, he needed to consider the fact that he would have to fight as a shield of the people; he would have to fight to protect. He couldn’t press the issue or go on the offensive as much as he would like, now that he has earned his godhood, he would have to take care and be more responsible with how he conducts his powers. Finishing his last rep, Hercules brushed his hands together, happy with the work that he had put in. Hercules knew that constantly working out would make him stronger but for reasons unknown, the workouts felt…almost too easy… Could his godhood be affecting his strength? Hercules would have to make a mental note and ask Phil and his father Zeus. Hercules left the training area to go run some errands.
After picking up the materials that were needed, Hercules made his way back to the coliseum. It was a lot to carry but it was no problem for Hercules. Different people made their way around Hercules, knowing full well who he is and what he was doing. People playfully chuckled at him as he hauled a mountain of materials for the training dummies through the streets. When Herc was younger, he would have wrecked the place by now, but it was again, thanks to Phil, that he was able to focus and control his strength. He finally came up on the coliseum. He dropped the countless things needed for the training dummies at the entrance of the coliseum, making a resounding thud onto the ground. He then casually walked into the vestibule to see the love of his life awake with someone new and someone that he had known for a very long time.
“Well, look who’s awake, huh?”, Hercules said, teasing the love of his life, embracing her. “Sora!! It’s great to see you again!! How have you been?”, Hercules gently let go of Meg, looking to shake Sora’s hand in their signature way. Hercules looked over to the young girl with red hair and smiled in her direction. “Hi there, never seen you around before? You’re Sora’s friend?”, Hercules said, letting go of Sora’s hand, only to shake the hand of the new face Hercules had seen.

[attr="class","kikan"] Sora, he really doesn’t realize how much this girl admires him does he? Though to be fair, Megara wasn’t exactly innocent of such behavior herself, briefly reminiscing about how she’d denied her genuine attraction to Hercules. At the time, she’d harbored some deep-seated self-loathing and skepticism about Hercules’ end goal. She’d met a handful of men with similar ambitions, though unlike Hercules, they just wanted the fame and glory; to be recorded alongside great heroes like Odysseus and Achilles. A chuckle slipped from her painted lips, fondly recalling the day that they’d met at the River. It was Hercules’ first act as a Hero, he’d saved a “damsel in distress” from a threat of a Centaur’s unwanted advances. “Well you came to the right place then, Kairi.”Megara admitted, Kairi had inadvertently found the birthing ground of Heros. Poor girl, she is going to be so disappointed when she meets Phil! Megara thought with a frown, silently offering a prayer to Hera that the Satyr didn’t try to finesse Kairi. His attempts at wooing her behind Hercules’ back were cringeworthy, she hadn’t even tried to hide her blatant disgust at the time. Sora inquired if either of the two of them knew how to ride a chariot, she certainly didn’t and doubted Kairi did either – the closest she’d been was riding on Pegasus’ back. Oh, her stomach still undulated uneasily as she’d recalled the ride, dreading the notion of riding another-winged horse. “I know how to ride Pegasus, but not how to set up a Chariot. Wonderboy more than likely knows how.”
Megara replied with a mirthful grin, not bothering to voice her disinterest in trying to spar with either. If they were being honest, Megara could barely manage twenty pushups at once without her arms threatening to give out, her handling a sword wasn’t a very viable option. Before she could dwell on the matter, an audible thud resonated through the coliseum. It was followed shortly after by a tremor which rattled the interior of the coliseum. Wonderboy must have finished his errands, perfect timing! . His timely arrival meant that she didn’t have to embarrass herself trying to figure out how to work a chariot. “Welcome home Wonderboy, not all of us are part god.”
She’d retorted playfully as she’d craned her head backwards to press a gentle kiss upon Hercule’s cheek before he’d broken the contact to shake Sora’s hand. “Hercules, this is Sora’s “friend”, Kairi”She said giving Kairi a playful wink as she’d made use of air quotes again.

| "Yeah, I'm Kairi. Nice to meet you, Hercules," Kairi introduced herself to the more muscular one, the ever so famous Hercules. She had heard stories of him from Sora, Donald and Goofy. As for herself, she held vague memories about him from her time spent within Sora's heart. "I'm here to train to become stronger."
Once those words had been spoken, it brought her attention back to the task at hand. Then, she remembered the mention of a chariot and she turned her attention back to the brunette boy. Although Megara definitely had a sassy side to her, there was a certain playfulness in her behaviour; Kairi had a feeling that she could be wilful as well, given the right motivations.
Now that there was an even number of them...
"Why don't we make it more fun? Girls versus guys," Kairi said, wanting to see how she could hold up against Sora. Hercules was a big shot but with Megara by her side, she was sure the support would help. At the same time, she wondered what the girl could do.

"Gotta clear my head of anger and greed." Sora's fingers flocked to his chin when Meg made mention of her lack of chariot-ing experience. He wasn't sure how to ride one either, as he'd mentioned, and he wasn't really sure where they would even find three horses. He was in the midst of deep, horse based contemplation when Hercules came in, his big, muscled arms and heroic face clear indicators of his identity. Sora offered the older man a grin as he came closer, let him hug Meg, and then took the handshake with the typical enthusiasm.Hercules was an awesome guy, and it was good to see that he was doing well for himself. Plus, now that he knew that he was married to Meg, it added an entirely new dimension to the guy's character! Somehow, Sora just hadn't figured Hercules the marrying type. He was definitely super heroic and smart and everything, but he couldn't imagine Hercules in a tux.Well, he figured, he probably just wore a toga or something on his wedding day, right? Or a good suit of armor, maybe?Pushing the thought out of his mind for a second while Hercules introduced himself to Kairi, Sora turned his attention back to the matter at hand. They were all there to get stronger and Hercules was, quite frankly, the perfect guy to talk to about something like that. He was smart and strong, with more than a little bit of real, formal training. Plus, unlike Yen Sid, he wasn't going to make Sora read twelve books before trying to cast a basic spell."Good to see ya, bud," Sora said, putting his hands on his hips. "We were about to get started with some training — girls against guys sounds good — and I gotta say, I'm glad to have you on my team."He patted Herc on the back and nearly shed a single tear of pride. They were totally gonna win — at least, if whatever they ended up doing had a winner to it."We were gonna do some chariot racing, but, uh... I don't think I've ever seen a horse before in my entire life, other than Pegasus. Whattaya think?" Sorry for the slow post time and the short one! Been revising a play over the last few days. I hope it all works out ahhhh. Let's get back into it. <3MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOXOGRPHY 2.0

Hercules was welcomed warmheartedly by his friends and the love of his life. It felt good to be welcomed and it felt even better to see his old friend Sora again. Although Donald and Goofy, who were usually not too far behind Sora, weren’t here. Hercules wondered where they were. However, Hercules was sure that they were ok, wherever they might be. For all Hercules knew, they were off somewhere else in this world trying to handle other business for whatever reason Sora might be here. They might be exterminating Heartless or conducting some investigation. That was usually why they seemed to travel, Sora always seemed to be looking for someone or something. Hercules didn’t mind helping though, he loved working with Sora. There was never a dull moment with him around. Hercules still remembered the day that he first met Sora, wide-eyed and ready to take on any challenge. These days, he still was, but there was an air of maturity about and around him. People grew with time. It happened with Hercules when he grew out of being clumsy with his strength, of course some of his overall bumbling nature still existed. He wouldn’t be him without it.
Sora’s friend had introduced herself as Kairi and that she was here to become stronger. If there was any place to become stronger, it was here at the Coliseum. Sora must have told her about the place. After, this was where Sora graduated from being a junior hero. Hercules wasn’t so sure that this place made Sora strong directly, it was what he learned on his journey and how he grew when he was faced with grief as well as happy times. Sora and Kairi suggested that they have a chariot race between girls and guys. For guys, it would be Sora and Herc. However, Kairi was by herself for the girls’ side. The odds were in favor of the men. Hercules looked around among them and realized who the second member on the womens’ team would be. Meg? Megara?! Hercules scratched the back of his neck, not sure why Meg would even want to participate. She hated physical competition, she even hated sweating. Hercules thought that she was going to fall to pieces in water back when she fell into it when he headbutted that centaur into a waterfall years ago. Maybe he was wrong about it, maybe it wasn’t Meg.
“Oh well, I suppose, training would be ok. What are you and Sora trying to prepare for, Kairi?”, Hercules said, trying to get more info.
A chariot race is all well and good but if it doesn’t fit the goal that they are trying to reach, then it would be pointless to hold a race. If their goal was to be more body-oriented, then they would have to train their bodies and push themselves to the limit. Hercules was also trying to figure out if it was really Meg that was trying to join in on the training. He didn’t want Meg getting hurt at all, so he hoped that her joining in on the roughness of training in the coliseum wouldn’t be the case in any way, shape, or form.
