Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
The Hydra of Amirjehun
Lake Amirjehun, it was here that Zuvowang had been sent for his next task. Having returned the pelt of the Sphinx as proof of his victory he had then been sent to slay the Hydra of Amirjehun. It was a beast that had killed heroes greater than Zuvowang, no matter the race.
As soon as Zuvowang approached the lake, he saw the Hydra facing a group of warriors of many races who had come to slay the monster.
It was like any other monster called a Hydra. With four legs and a number of heads, it was truly and evil looking thing!
Seeing one warrior held underwater by the Hydra's tail and another having been impaled on a log, Zuvowang knew that the Hydra had to be stopped once and for all! Zuvowang ran down to them, unarmed he might been but he would fight the Hydra with his bare hands if need be!
Yet with this one creature, Zuvowang knew there was no dishonor to need a weapon. With weapon or bare hands, Zuvowang would slay the Hydra of Amirjehun!
Grabbing a sword from a fallen warrior, Zuvowang hacked one head off only for two more to sprout in its place! Grabbing a torch, Zuvowang burned once more hacked only to burn the stumps so the heads could not grow.
As the tide began to turn with Zuvowang's aid until only Zuvowang had the courage to remain, the Hydra had only one head left… The invincible head… Or was it? A sword would not work… So maybe something else! Throwing sword and torch aside, Zuvowang took up a stone and proceeded to bring it down on the Hydra's head until it was nothing more.
Yet the beast, somehow still lived. Taking the sword again, Zuvowang stuck it into the Hydra's chest and ripped the sword down until the Hydra no longer breathed. It was dead.
Exhausted, Zuvowang sat down and leaned against the body of the vanquished monster. Looking up to the sky.
"Wodanaz, Procyon, any of my friends who are amongst the Celestials… Tell me where Henti and Brigid are… I want to know… Without a doubt the monster I'll have to slay after this one will be even more formidable than the Hydra… If I should die, I'd like to know where those two pretty ones are so I might aid them as a Celestial… Where are they… Where are they… Where are they?"
