"What are you people talking about?" Aphrodite asked.  
   "I'm not really the Creos you know," The Ancient One answered.  "I am really from far into the future.  I assure you, everyone will think the child you are carrying was fathered by Hermes.  The truth won't be known for many ages. By then Zeus and I will be good friends.  The bad feelings between The Olympians and The Havens will be long passed."
   "THAT'S something I gotta see!"  Aphrodite snapped.  "If you're from the future what are you doing here?"
   The Ancient One explained their current circumstances.
   "Well!"  Aphrodite finally managed, "If you haven't totally solved the problem I'm sure Zeus will help, even though you don't get along.     Messing with history is bad business!  Even we Olympians know better than to attempt that!"
   "True," The Ancient One answered, "very true!  Like I said, even with its deformities everyone will believe the child is Hermes'.  Just go along with that."
   "Deformities?"  Aphrodite snapped, "What do you mean deformities?  We Olympians always produce perfection."
   "And so you will!" The Ancient One answered, "but that perfection is going to be a little....well, different!  People are going to laugh a little bit.  Hermes is going to be a bit embarrassed because people will believe the genes that created this child came from him.  But in time the child will be beloved by all, and many will seek his favor, for he will have a great power."
   "Well," Aphrodite answered, "if it's going to upset Hermes it will probably be worth it.  Anything that gets him off his pedestal should be worthwhile.  You really in that much of a hurry?"
   "Yes, he is!"  Durga snapped.  The two women glared at each other and tried to keep a stern expression, but finally both of them burst into laughter.
   "You his permanent?" Aphrodite asked.
   "More or less," Durga answered.  "We've shared hundreds of lifetimes. I've been his daughter, his mother, and, his wife.  But the wife part is the one I like best!"
   "I can understand why!"  Aphrodite answered.  "But I don't know how you can put up with him all the time."
   "It takes a considerable amount of fortitude," Durga answered, "and a tremendous amount of patience."
The two women grinned at each other again.
   "All right, you two!"  The Ancient One snapped, "Let's not even consider exchanging feminine information!  I've got enough problems as it is!"
   Again the two women roared with laughter.
   "Well, I'd best be going," Aphrodite sighed, "see if I can find the current Creos, and just irritate him a little!"
   "You'll find him!"  The Ancient One answered, "But what you'll do with him won't be very irritating."
   Durga looked at him, disgusted.
   "I can't help it!"  The Ancient One remarked.  "I remember what happened when she found me...any man would!"
   "I bet!"  Durga moaned.  
   Aphrodite laughed again, and seemed to fade away.
   "Just what did you two do when she found you?"  Durga asked The Ancient One.
   "Oh, nothing too serious," The Ancient One answered, "we just caused a volcanic eruption!"
   The Ax Man looked at The Ancient One.  "You've GOT to be kidding!"  he commented.
   "No," The Ancient One answered, "It was a considerable earthquake recorded in history.  The Greeks thought it was a sign from The Gods of their eventual victory."
   "Aw, come on!"  The Ax Man argued  "You two doing that couldn't cause an earthquake!"
   The Ancient One just loked at him and smiled.  The Ax Man looked to Durga.  "He's kidding, right?  He's got to be kidding!"
   Durga just gave her friend a disgusted look and muttered, "Finally!"
   The Ancient One and The Ax Man turned to see that Yahweh had arrived.
   "Was that really necessary?"  The Ancient One asked.
   "Most certainly was!"  Yahweh answered. "She needed to release some pressure before you two got together, or there would've been nothing left of this region, the earthquake would've been so severe!"
   "I swear," The Ax Man muttered, "this is a conspiracy!  Even he's in on it!"
   "Hardly!"  Yahweh answered.  "When him and her sing "You Make The Earth Move Under My Feet" they have to be very careful because it can!"
   The Ax Man stared at his friend again. "And nobody takes them seriously!"  he muttered.
   Yahweh frowned.  "Many will weep over that folly!"  he answered, "Many will wail because of that mistake.  Now, for your final destination!  When you are finished here, it will be over.  Those who have caused this do not have the strength to repeat it.  This failure will set them back many decades.  Their plans will slowly go awry."
   The Ancient One and his friends faded from existence.  As they reappeared The Ancient One appeared to be his human form, though his features were slightly different.  Durga was as beautiful as ever.  They were in a lavish hallway.  Durga looked around.
