How To Kill A Hydra (2)

Willow's gaze remained fixed on the Multi-Headed Hydra as it sniffed the air once more, its hundred heads raised to the sky. The anticipation in the air was tangible, the moment charged with a mixture of tension and curiosity. 

The monster's gills cluttered, as it let out a deep, guttural moan before it laid all of it's heads down, coiled around it's large trunk of a body, nesting. 

It was about to lay it's precious egg now. 

Willow raised his index finger and pointed it at the Hydra, before signaling that they should be as ready as possible. His two party members gave a solid nod of their heads.

The ground rumbled. The forest's woods hushed. Everything was silent, except for the creaks and moans of paining escaping the monster who was giving birth. Its sinewy muscles clenched and unclenched, a testament to the strain it endured in this pivotal moment.
