Hercules 13th Labor

For Hercules 13^th Labor, Eurystheus commanded him to bring him  all The Pieces of Eden.  Among one of the greatest tools known to man, The Apples of Eden control the human mind, and to twist nature, such as parting the red sea.  

Obtaining the Apple would be the hardest task Hercules would ever have to do, and along with the other pieces, he though it was impossible. With all the energy contained in the Pieces of Eden, putting them together and destroying them would cause an explosion to destroy the world. 

The Shroud was the other piece.  It heals everyone who touched it, and The Staff of Eden was that last piece that put the other two pieces together to create an epic piece of silver. It could be used for great and marvelous things, or dark and evil.

The pieces haven't been seen since the dawn of time when the gods decided no human should handle it. There was a great war that the gods fought in and decided they should be split apart and never to be handled again.

Hercules set off to go find his pieces of Elden, he went to the gods and asked for it. They said he can have it, if and only if he makes a covenant to not spread evil and destroy the world, and the gods knew they could trust Hercules because of his reputation and his father was the God gods. The Gods told him there are three pieces and were at three different points across the world from each other so no one could come across all of them.

On his way Hercules wondered why Euystheus wanted this great weapon. He was a good king and wanted piece. It doesn't make any sense to go gather up the end of the world if put in the wrong hands, But he wanted to prove his faith and his love for the king so he went on his way of finding the three pieces.

The gods did work, and did it good because each piece was 50 feet in the ground. Hercules had to dig them up with his hands because The Gods put a curse on them that any piece of metal that came near it, melted. Then on top of that he put 10 feet of vines around each piece. They saw the evil, and didn't want anyone to be tempted with the power, but why did they trust Hercules?

After Hercules got the pieces, he hurried back to Euystheus because he felt the evil in the weapons, and he knew if he put them together he wouldn't be able to resist the power, and he would loose all his respect and everything. When he came to Euystheus, the king didn't know what to say. He didn't think any mortal could do it. Or have the trust from a God to do it. This only meant one thing, Hercules was not a mortal in mentally, just physically..After the last task Euystheus knew he was ready to be immortal.

The Color of Eyes

Before Blue, Green, and Brown eyes were known. Everyone just had plain white eyes.  The God of the world thought it was just fine, But Alexandrea, his wife. Goddess of the world wanted more, she wanted to stare deep into people's eyes and have that part of their personality. At first Eries thought it was stupid, but then he thought of his wife with eyes and how it would match her personality, so he agreed to make humans have colored eyes.

It was no easy task though, for each set of colored eyes a lot of rare materials were needed to make the different colors. Blue eyes a slice of the sky was needed, and for a twinkle there needed to be stars in them. Green she wanted the best and greenest trees in the world, so there would be a little bit of rich Brown in the deep Green. Brown eyes she wanted to be really rich, so she decided to put the best copper around. Along with Black gems to get the mystery in Brown the eyes.

Once Alexandrea got her list done she showed it to Eries and he was so much in shock he didn't know what to say. It was like bringing home the Costco Receipt. He had no words, but since he promised her and she meant so much to him he set out on his quest to make eyes colorful.

Since the Blue eyes needed sky and stars he went to the God of the Universe, Kratoes. On his way there he was thinking of what color he wanted his wife's eyes to be, and blue sounded great but it wasn't her. He wanted to really put Alexandrea in them, and they had to be one of a kind. Because that was her, and blue wasn't going to do it, and onnce he got there, Kratoes the God of the Universe thought it was a pretty good idea, so he grated Eries as many stars and sky as he needed, as long as Eries promised to put white clouds in his eyes. And he gladly accepted.

From there he went to Mother Nature for the Green eyes and the trees. This was the hard one, because Mother Nature did not like to share her trees. As he went to her, he explained the story, and how he only wishes to satisfy Alexandrea. Mother Nature having a soft spot for that, Said she would do it. As long as he promised he would make her eyes with Green. Eries thought right then how he was going to do Alexandrea's eyes! He simply told Mother Nature he would, but not all green.

Then for the Brown eyes he went to the strongest guy he knows, Thor. He's a miner, and has any ore and gems you could think of. He said that Eries Could have all the Copper, and gems as he wants as long as of course he made the most beautiful goddess Alexandrea's eyes brown. By this time Eries Knew how he was going to make her eyes. He convinced Thor not that she isn't going to have brown, but he'll put Gray to make her better than everyone else, and would give him the credit.

He went back to Alexandrea and she made everyone's eyes colorful! Besides hers, she told Eries he wanted to make her eyes. He decided to have them mainly green, for the green and good, mixed with gray to represent a rainstorm, to show the calmness of her, but the strength of Thor, for all he was and the strength and love he had. This is how the color of eyes came to be.

I love lying about my scar.

My favorite scar is on the back of my right hand, I got it way back when I was two years old. I don’t remember it but from what my mom was telling me I was walking around doing my thing and my sister was hot gluing a little Christmas ordainment for my mom, and I being a curious boy went by her. She claims I picked it up and burned myself, but what my momma told me and what I believe is that she was mad, and she turned around really fast and hit me in the hand with it, and burned me. Not only did she not apologize she then just kept the glue on my hand! She was in shock and just left glue on my hand, burning me, and who knows how long it took tell my mom got it off! That’s how the scar really came, so I have about a centimeter little glue patch on my hand. All my life people have asked, “Daniel Where did you get that scar?” And I’ve had the craziest stories, like a snake bit me and its really poison that’s still in my skin. Or those monkeys peed on my hand at the zoo, and it burned my skin, and yes these crazy stories people really did believe that’s what happened. I still enjoy the lying.
