Hey, here is the next (Short, may I add) chapter. A very tight schedule has led a few chapter to be delayed, so I wrote a few today.
Pairing: Starts off as Herc/Iolaus and could still end up that way, or it could end up as Ares/Iolaus, depending on votes.
Disclaimer: I don’t own anything you are about to read, if you choose to. No profit is being made from this fic.
Rating: NC17
Beta: (I always wondered what this means)
Warnings: Mpreg , Descriptive sex, maybe some violence, and *Spoilers*. Hera’s twisted mind. Oh yea and slash (^_-)
Timeline: Takes place, after ‘Old Ares had a farm’ in the Xenaverse (did I get that right), Ares still is mortal and living on Xena’s old farm. Also takes place after ‘full circle’ in Hercules
Really big A/N: I just realised I have a terrible time line plot hole ‘old Ares had a farm’ was set 25 years on in the xenaverse. Lets pretend that Ares gave up his godhood before the 25 year sleep to protect Eve, who is still a baby in this fic. I may edit chap 2 and 3 to involve baby Eve.

“Talking” ‘Thinking’
---------------------------------------------------
It turned out that the fates were not on Iolaus’ side. While walking on his injured foot with no treatment had not gone without its repercussions. The inevitable happened and Iolaus’ ankle became badly infected. His condition had been discovered when a servant girl had gone into Iolaus’ private hut to wake the man and found him writhing and moaning in pain and couldn’t‘t rouse him. She had also taken note of the bed furs hazardly tossed around the floor beside his bed and his skin was cold and clammy to touch and was flushed. After taking in his state she had fled the hut in search of the healer and to inform her queen.
Within moments Hercules entered the hut and hastened over to his partner. Valasca was close behind him. When the healer arrived to Iolaus’ hut within a few moments of Hercules and Valasca‘s arrival, she entered the hut and immediately made her way over to the table. She was carrying with her a weaved basket containing healing supplies. She went over and had washed her hands in a small clay basin and returned to the bed where she placed her supplies within reach. She looked at Hercules who was sitting and the other side of Iolaus and introduced herself as Natasa. Natasa had raven coloured hair and blue eyes. She eased herself down beside the delirious hunter. She started examining him while under the piercing gaze of Valasca. Hercules was carefully running his hands through Iolaus’ sweaty hair with a worried expression fixed upon his face.
Valasca folded her arms and said sternly. “You had better make sure he survives Natasa. Kratos is destined to be a great king of our people.” Valasca hated referring to Iolaus as her *king*, but the term was necessary as she had to keep up the ruse in front of Hera’s bastard step-son to protect her mission entrusted by Hera.
“Yes my queen.” Natasa had been earlier briefed at what was wrong with the man so immediately she carefully eased up the leather pant leg to his knee on his right leg. She then gently eased of his boot and Iolaus started to whimper. Hercules heared his moans of pain so he bent down and started whispering comforting endearment’s into his ear. When it was off she cast it aside. Hercules closed his eyes and had to cover his mouth while looking away. The wound was on the inside of the ankle on his right foot. It was about three inches in diameter and was starting to spread around his whole ankle. The ankle was now swollen and the actual wound was an angry colour of red. Around the edges of the wound there was a green tinge while the centre of the wound had bubbles of white pus contained in some areas There was also a thin pinkish line following a vain travelling up his shin and nearing his kneecap.
“This wound is deeply infected and has started to fester. No normal infection spreads this fast in two days. There had to be a catalyst. Perhaps from some sort of blood poisoning.” She looked at Hercules. “Did anything bite him or did he have an open cut there from either falling or scratching it before?”
While still looking away Hercules shook his head slowly and said in a spiteful voice.
“No. He got that injury when we trying to escape. One of our *escorts* threw a dart laced with some snake venom into his ankle to hinder our attempt at escape. I think it was Anazilea who said the venom would kill him in ten minutes.” His voice turned soft. “But I don’t understand. He was given the antidote in time.”
“How long was did he have the venom in his body before he was given the antidote? I need an accurate time?”
“Around seven or eight minutes.”
Natasa then looked up at Valasca. “I need to know what venom it was to make sure I can even cure him.” Valasca curtly nodded and left the hut. Natasa then turned her gaze to Hercules. “You can go get water from that well by the temple. Take that bucket over there.” She pointed to a table on the other side. Hercules retrieved the bucket and left aswell. Natasa went to her medical basket and retrieved a granite pestle and mortar. She also got some herbs and put them in it. When Hercules came back with the water the added some to the mortar and started grinding it into a thick paste. With her hand she carefully applied some of the paste onto the ankle and gently smoothed it on. After that, she carefully wrapped a clean bandage around the wound and secured it.
Valasca then entered the hut again. “It was an adder’s venom.” “Thank you my queen. Adders venom works fast. Its good the antidote was given right on time but it didn’t kill all the venom unfortunately. I will be able to treat it though. If all goes well, he should be up in about four to five days.” Natasa then went back to her basket and got out more herbs and started grinding them. Valasca went over to Hercules. “It will do you no good staying in here and worrying about him. I bet there are women in this village who would not mind help from a strong man like you.” Hercules sighed and nodded. He gingerly lifted himself of the bed and headed for the doorway. Reaching the exit he laid a hand on the door-frame and turned around to give a wistful glance back to Iolaus. He sighed again and left the hut. Valasca once again looked at Natasa and demanded.
“Are you sure you can cure him Natasa?”
“I’m positive my queen.”
Still not fully satisfied Valasca nodded her head. She then turned around and left the hut. She made her way into the direction of Hera’s temple, she climbed the stairs, strolled past the entrance archways and entered the place of worship. She then made her way passed the shrine in the middle of the room to the right wall and through an archway where there was a throne room of sorts. In the room there was three steps leading up to a dais where a gold and red trimmed, silk seated throne was while there was an exquisite red carpet leading up to the stairs. There were few windows along the wall letting in the light which kept the room in a state of semi-darkness. Beside the throne on both sides there were torches raised on high wooden poles. Along the wall where tables carrying trinkets and other items like vases and foods. Valasca then thundered herself up the throne and threw herself on down looking peeved. She then beckoned Anazilea over who was standing by the entrance door. Anazilea complied and walked over and kneeled in front of the stairs.
“Yes my queen?” She murmured while standing into a prone position again.
Valasca snapped. “Which one of your charges attacked Kratos with the poisoned dart?”
“It was Phoebe my queen. She felt it was the only way to stop them getting away.”
Valasca calmly eased herself up and sauntered down the stairs. As she was eye level with her first guard she suddenly slapped her hard on the cheek, forcing Anazilea’s head to slam to the side with the impact and leaving a red hand shape imprint on her cheek.
“I asked for a name, not a name and their pathetic excuse. See it that Phoebe learns the error of her ways by pricking her with one of her own darts into her ankle and it doesn’t matter if anyone sees you taking her to the solitary pit half a mile north from here. Leave her there for two days. Her ankle will probably have to be amputated by then, even if it doesn’t, make sure she is one foot less by the day after tomorrow. This will make sure nobody takes the initiative when dealing with a delicate delegated task. Oh, and send for my daughter Ainia. I need to have a chat with her about rumours that baby noises are coming from her hut.”
Anazilea bowed and swiftly exited to pantheon. Valasca watched her leave and a sly smile crept upon her face as she thought to herself.
‘Tomorrow I will start feeding king ‘Kratos’ the potion to make him develop a womb. I will need to get rid of that Hercules first for the potion to be a complete success. I will send him on a mission with some of my amazons to keep him busy for a couple of weeks or so. I will send them in the morning.
With thoughts full of malice, she sauntered her way over to one of the table lined up by the wall and started gathering ingredients for concocting the potion.

I know it took forever updating but I was doing exams. They are now over and updating should be back on track.
A short chapter this time, but the next one is really long.
