Olympus?

"Olympus?" is a book in progress (for now paused) written by Hiamfred. The book "Olympus?" is based on the 1997 Disney film Hercules. It takes place after the film, it can be described as an "After the movie" type of book.

"Olympus?" starts right where the film left off. The book describes the events all the characters in the film had to go through before all the villains were taken away.

## Starting setting

The story begins in the Underworld, the story starts right where the Hercules film ended. Hades, god of the Underworld, is seen being carried away by the souls of the River Styx after being punched by Hercules, the protagonist of the film and an important character in the book. Pain and Panic, Hades' henchman, are seen in the edge of the river, not helping Hades escape due to the fear the have for him.

At the end of the chapter, Pain and Panic cheer for Hades no longer being there to bother them. Both dance and sing in their way back the the Underworld lair as Hades is being dragged to the bottom of the river.

## Characters

**Hades:** god of the Underworld. Brother of Zeus and Poseidon. Hades, though being the main antagonist in the 1997 Hercules film, he is one of the main protagonist in the book. Hades plans, in company of Jafar, Pain and Panic, and other villain characters, to give life to an ember he's been keeping in case his take over the cosmos failed.

**Pain and Panic:** They are Hades' clumsy henchman. They tried to leave Hades stuck in the River Styx with the souls in there so they could live freely, but failed since he easily left the river in company of a friend. Pain and Panic help Hades with his last scheme. They try to stay calm as the adventure they start with Hades and Jafar is dangerous and scary.

**Jafar:** Jafar is a small but supportive character in the book. He helps Hades finish his plan even though he fears the outcome as a failure. He follows Hades and his henchman as there is nothing he can do in the Underworld. Jafar was brought back to life by Hades after having a conversation with him in the bottom of the River Styx. Even though Jafar is a villain, just like Hades, he is also a protagonist regardless of his small taking points (with an exception on the chapter called "A Talkative Soul" where he is first introduced).

**Apollonia/Maleficent:** (there is not enough info. about this character, yet)

**Hercules:** Hercules is the main protagonist in the Disney film, he is not an antagonist in the book, but he will be related to future failures to the protagonists. Hercules, son of Zeus and Hera, is a demigod in both film and book.
