Hercules Reborn

---

MAGERA!

MAGERA!

MAGERA!

MAGERA!

Shhh... Quiet.

What has happened to you?

Please no!

MAGERA!

MAGERA!

Not bad.

General.

Impressive.

You fight like a girl.

Ah, like a girl, huh?

Looks like

you just been beaten by a girl.

Do you yield?

I yield.

Impressive, Horace.

Except that I lost.

No shame in losing to the best.

You arrogant bastard.

Nothing wrong with arrogance...

as long as it coexists

with talent.

Which it does with you, Arias.

See my influence in every move

that you make.

Which is why, I am making you my

new captain.

You mean...

Yes! I'm promoting you,

my friend.

Thank you, General.

Scoundrel.

So, it's true.

And you said it was just

a rumor.

If we were all born leaders, then

there would be no followers.

Wouldn't you agree, Horace?

Did I miss the match?

Yes you did, my love.

Who won?

I did, of course!

Well, tell her the great news!

Great news? Well, what is it?

I have just been promoted

to Captain.

- Congratulations!

- Thank you.

Alright you two,

save it for the wedding.

Forgive me, Horace. I didn't mean to

offend your prudish sensibilities.

Prudish? You should know me

better then that.

So, the two of you shall wed?

Yes.

And as best man, I can only

say... she should be wedding me.

Are you hungry?

My mother has invited you all

to a feast.

To celebrate our engagement.

Sounds delightful.

I will attend. See you then.

Horace.

General

Good riddance.

Arrogant aristocrat.

Horace!

He's just jealous.

Please. Jealous of that donkey

in a General's outfit?

He was born of a silver spoon

in his mouth.

I just don't understand your

blind devotion to Nikos.

How many times do we have to

speak about this?

Apparently, a few more until you

will listen to reason.

What exactly is

reasonable about conquering

a completely peaceful village?

If you want a reason to attack

Haon, I can give you thousands.

Millions.

The gold in their mines,

is that your reason?

Yes. Of course.

They're discovering

more each day,

and their people are growing

wealthier and wealthier.

While we...

While we what?

Starve?

Is there not enough food

on your plate?

Unlike you, your grace,

I know what it's like to be poor.

And if we do not expand,

we will end up that way again.

I am not going to attack a village

and overthrow it's leaders

simply to attain its riches,

and to claim some things

that we have no right to have.

That gold belongs to whoever has

the might and will to take it.

To you.

To us.

We have to do it now,

while we have the power.

What power we have comes from

the fact that our people respect us.

That will work for us.

We risk losing everything,

for what?

A few gold nuggets?

Who are you to lecture me about greed

while you sit here on your royal...

Who are you

to talk to your Queen like that?!

Forgive my insolence,

your Highness.

This meeting is adjourned.

Leave now!

Gladly.

Am I interrupting?

Cousin!

Ah!

Iona, dear, a plate, huh?

Do not bother, Iona.

Thank you.

Erasmus.

I'm to have dinner with the King

and the Queen this evening.

I wouldn't expect you to dine

with common folk like us then.

I have news I wanted

to share with you both.

Theodora is not with child

already, is she?

Tymek!

Of course not.

I'm to be made captain

in the King's army.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

- I'm proud of you, cousin.

You know the army could use a man

with your leadership qualities.

You'd have to point a sword

at my back.

I'm quite happy where I am.

Isn't it beautiful?

Only rivaled by your beauty.

Arias.

Tell me.

Are you looking forward

to the wedding?

I think of nothing else.

Why would you even ask?

Well... I know men value

their bachelorhood.

Who told you that, Horace?

Maybe.

Well, he is hardly

the expert on love.

And what makes you an expert?

I have loved you

since I met you.

That is years ago.

And I am blessed by the gods.

We knew this day would come!

A day when we would seize back

our power and reclaim our kingdom!

King Demetrius is weak, and our

people have fallen into despair.

If he is unwilling to do anything,

then we must take control of our own fate.

We must stand together and take

back what is rightfully ours!

Today...

We shall show our might...

And I shall lead Enos

into the future.

Know this, we must destroy

before we can rebuild!

Mercy is for the weak!

Brothers!

Take Arms!

This is your destiny!

What is that?

We're being attacked!

I have to find Horace

and the others.

And see what is happening.

Let me come with you.

No.

I'm scared.

It is far too dangerous.

Stay with your family.

Be careful.

I shall return soon. If for some reason

I shall not, you have to flee.

Go to my cousin Tymek's,

he will help you.

Father!

What is happening?

I don't know my dear.

You two, run! Run!

Hide you two, hide!

Go, Go!

What's this?

I'm reliving you

of your command.

This is outrageous!

I will not allow that!

No.

I did not think you would.

Demetrius!

Demetrius!

The townspeople will never

respect your rule.

They do not have to respect me.

They will live by my rule,

or they will die.

I know what I choose.

Demetrius.

You!

What on Earth are you doing?

These are civilians.

Arias!

Two against one,

that's not very fair.

These are Nikos' soldiers.

Do you still think your mentor

is a man of honor?

I'm sure there must be

an explanation.

Then let's go find out.

Cut off their heads.

Hang them on the city gates.

Princess.

Over the mountain, in the city

of Sagev...

Yes?

It is rumored that the man known

as Hercules resides there.

Hercules...

Hercules again.

Arias, those are just stories

from our youth.

People have seen him.

People other then General Nikos?

Hercules has been known to aid

to those in need.

He has the strength of 20 men.

Maybe we could convince him

to join our cause.

Oh, Tymek.

Peace, Brothers.

- Have you got news from the castle?

- I have.

Although, you're going

to wish I hadn't.

It's the King and Queen.

- Alive?

- I'm afraid not.

The King by Niko's hand,

and the Queen by her own.

Treachery.

Their heads are posted on stakes

outside the castle gates.

And the Princess?

- She's alive.

- She's safe?

Afraid not, cousin.

Nikos has her.

She's being held captive.

That's it! With or without you,

I'm going in.

I will not allow it.

If you get killed, how does that

help Theodora?

Fine.

But then we're going to Sagev.

And we will find Hercules.

I'll go with you.

No! Tymek.

You stay with your family.

Gather as many men as you can.

Lead the resistance!

Keep the people's hope alive.

We're with you, cousin.

Good Luck.

All of you.

And to you, Tymek.

We're gonna need it.

Good people of Enos!

I am your new King!

Where is Arias Dudunakus?

Bring him forth and you will be

rewarded greatly.

If you do not,

you will be punished, greatly.

I assure you,

I am a man of my word.

General?

Sir?

Your Highness.

Forgive me, you Highness.

I have seen your man, Arias,

flee the village
