Hercules and Peter Francisco

It is almost midnight as two large constrictor snakes slowly slither down the walls of a quiet nursery towards the two twin boys who lay sleeping in a crib at the center of the room. These are not just any ordinary serpents. They are dark emissaries sent by a vengeful goddess on a cruel mission to choke the life from these children in the name of the Queen of Olympus. Slowly, silently, deliberately, they make their way over the edge of the crib and drop quietly down next to the sleeping children. But these snakes have no idea what's about to hit them.
