The cave also contained tonnes of statues of people. I got suspicious. Could this be the dwelling of the Gorgon sisters? They are known to be able to turn people into stone with one gaze directly from their eyes. This meant that I couldn’t look at what I was fighting and therefore would be very troublesome.
Finally coming out into a big chamber I spotted three figures far away. Those were definitely the Gorgons. Gladly they couldn’t see me, which meant I had an advantage.
I crept through the dark corners of the chamber, hiding behind the rocks and making absolutely no noise. The sisters were speaking some language I couldn’t understand. All what was left for me now is to find a perfect time to strike. If only I could kill 1 of them before the other two are alerted then that would make the fighting much easier for me, as I knew that one Gorgon by itself is strong enough already, but with 3 I had very little chances.
Slowly but surely making my way behind one of them, I think it was Euryale, I waited till the other two turned away. Taking slow, deep and silent breaths I waited like a panther, masquerading with the darkness and gazing at my prey. Chasing each movement with my eyeballs I suddenly sprung out of my hideout and stabbed a dagger into Euryale’s neck. That proved to be a lethal stab and she went down in an instant.
Medusa and Stheno heard the screams of their sister and turned around just to see a charging warrior approaching with an immense speed. I slashed at Stheno first as she was closer to me. She blocked my strikes with her spear and then attempted to stab me with it. I ducked from the stab and then sliced at her arm which caused her to bleed vile blood all over the floor.
Here Medusa got out her bow and arrows and opened fire. She could shoot really fast. All I could do there is block the shots with my shield, but it was a small shield and so some arrows were getting away. One got even stuck in my helmet. Here I threw the dagger at Medusa and it stabbed directly in her torso. Stheno tried to stick me with her spear again. I quickly got out my sparkling hammer and knocked it out of her hand, to then finally deliver a killing blow to her face.
Medusa wasn’t pleased with both her sisters dead and so attempted to petrify gaze me. I turned my eyes away in time and quickly ran behind one of the stone statues. All that action made me out of breath, so I needed to catch it quickly. After a few seconds I gripped my hammer really tightly and came out of cover. Medusa aimed with her bow at me. I quickly produced a war wind, allowing me to glide through the air with an extreme speed and at the end spin my hammer around, which smacked Medusa in the face. She didn’t even get stunned by that and so continued shooting. I received a couple of arrows in my torso, but that didn’t stop me. I heaved myself into the air, producing an overhead smash with my hammer. The final strike smashed Medusa’s head into pieces.
She was still bleeding from the dagger in her body and all the vile blood was flowing on the ground of the cave, instantly killing any life forms that came into contact with it.
I continued through the cave and soon came to an exit. The road after that was infested with numerous beasts, especially centaurs and also those disgusting ratmen. I battled my way through hordes of them, several times even being absolutely enraged and while ignoring all the pain annihilating masses of them within seconds.
But after so much spillage of blood I was actually approaching my home city of Athens. Unfortunately though I could see a huge war going on in front of its gates. I added a bit of speed to my pace so I could get there quicker and save lives of my fellow citizens.
