Vulcan's Fury: the Dark Lands
“Since the girl had found him as a cub, human hands had only ever touched him with kindness and love. Even the old one who had taught Hercules to understand the girl, after a fashion, had never been anything but gentle, if firm and insistent. He had never struck him nor done him harm. The only time Hercules had even seen or smelled his own blood was once during a hunt, when a buck had faced him with great courage and wounded him slightly with his antlers before Hercules brought him down. Beyond ...that, his life had been nothing but games with the girl and the men, the soldiers, who accompanied her, and the time he spent hunting in the preserve that was set aside for his own pleasure. He knew nothing of other predators, of anything or anyone who might want to harm him. That had changed when they had come, the dark things whose scent was unknown to him, but provoked a violent, instinctive reaction that he did not understand. But it was not in his nature to question the ancient imperatives.MoreLess
