Being in their arms made me feel as contented as an infant in her mother's arms. But then it came to me... I rose swiftly from between them. They were up with me. "What is it?" said Legolas.
I reached out with my power. It was definitely Olympian in nature...and coming from within the city... "It's Olympian; stay here." They hated that but I didn't wait. I flew from the bed at blurring speed and ran super fast for the source of the power. As I did so I realized swiftly where it was coming from...the royals' bedchamber. Shit. I poured on the speed.
I reached the corridor where the bedchamber was. The guards were down/dead; ripped to shreds; the heavy door was breached. I entered the bedroom. It was covered in darkness; a magically imposed one. Evil...
I reached out with my senses; fists ready. I heard the rattle/hiss before it came too close to detect via regular senses. I recognized it instantly in the dark. I lunged aside right as a chimera's poisonous serpent tail snapped its teeth at where I'd just been. This particular hellish monstrosity was a two headed hell hound variant; a cousin of Cerberus as it were. The ever competing heads snarled and snapped their teeth in the gloom of the chamber. I feared the worst already but I had to focus. I dodged a head's teeth as it sought to snap them into me. My follow up blow came right after that. It yelped from the super blow that could shatter a mountain but it was still in the fight. It was hardly a typhon but it was bad enough. And that was excluding whatever else could be here waiting to strike.
My blow staggered the beast but it was hardly enough to defeat it. The other head snapped its teeth at me in similar fashion but I dodged that in the gloom next; I then put a solid roundhouse kick into its face to stagger it too. The other head had recovered enough from its side to slash out with its front paw but I leaped over it and punched down hard again into the top of its head. Its skull shattered from the blow and went dead. The sole surviving head grew fearful but the beast would fight to the bitter end; it always did.
The snake tail tried to bite me again but it struck my bracelet instead. I grabbed it just beneath its head and crushed/ripped its head off completely and tossed it aside. The chimera shrieked knowing that its demise was near. Its last surviving part tried to lower itself to pounce but I was beneath it first. I sent a super uppercut into its jaw and broke its neck. It fell dead and to the side.
It was only now as that wicked thing fell dead that I saw what was truly happening. The bed chamber lit up...and to my horror I saw a most terrible sight. A massive minotaur held Queen Arwen within its grasp...and on the bed was a naked Aragorn being raped by Empusa; a female demon changeling of Hecate that had a distinctive copper leg and was often deployed by the sorcery goddess as an agent to seduce/rape/kill/devour males. It was a most horrific way to suffer and die; and not necessarily in any particular order.
As Empusa raped the king she looked back at me and shrieked with delight. She knew there was little I could do; or else I'd endanger Arwen. For the moment I could only watch as the hellish display continued. I had to think fast though; and surely Eowyn and Legolas would soon arrive; along with the Gondorian guard. I wanted it stopped before then. If I could.
"Come, daughter of Zeus! Come and stop me if you can! Ha ha ha!" Her cackle/shriek continued while for the moment I remained powerless.
