As Ready As Can Be
"This is it," Kace announced as he analysed the thick yellowish scent hanging around the thorny trees. "It's definitely in there. This kind of scent has built up over time with many passings. So we can be certain this is its home."
Grugda stared at the thicket of trees with a solemn expression. He could not see what Kace could, nor was he able to tell in any other way that a Hydra lived there. 'I'm glad. I never explored. This part. Of the swamp. Before.' Grugda imagined a day where he came out here to explore only to come face to face with one of the Hydra's heads.
A shiver ran down his spine as he imagined being cooked by the creature's poison. Where his body would be turned into a pulpy soup and slurped hungrily by the beast. 'That poison. Is too potent. We need. A stronger. Antidote.' Grugda was lost in his thoughts as Kace stared at him. Kace already knew what he was thinking, so he left the eljein to devise a suitable solution.
