Hydra

Jamie and Knud came running to find orcs attacking. Jamie approached one orc, it was a half-orc. The half-orc was attempting to attack Colin one of the boys from the manhood ritual.

Jamie could tell it was a halfbreed because it was slightly less ugly than a regular orc. She stabbed the half-orc before he could hit Colin.

"Thanks" said Colin.

Jamie saw Knud swing his sword into another orc. However he was quickly surrounded.

'Cool, hopefully Knud dies and I can fuck Revna'

"We have to save him" said Colin.

'God dammit'

Colin charged up to the orcs, giving Knud some room to fight off some of them.

"Release the hydra" said one of the orcs.

One of the orcs ran over to a wagon and pulled the curtain to reveal a hydra. The orcs opened the cage door. The hydra bursts out, killing the orc. Knud decapitated the hydra.

"Yeah, I killed the hydra" he said.

"Don't you know anything?" asked Colin, "the hydra regrows its heads"

"Its also usually bigger" said Knud, "this is obvious an artificial-"

Just then, the hydra grew two heads and attacked Knud. Jamie stabbed the hydra from behind. Knud kept trying to cut the heads only for them to grow back. Fortunately, this hydra seemed to only be able to grow two heads.

"Quick!" she said, "someone get me a torch"

"A torch?" asked Colin.

"Just do it"

Colin quickly grabbed a torch and ran over to Jamie.

"When I cut the head off, I want you to cauterise the wound"

Jamie cut off one hydra head and Colin pressed the torch into the neck so it wouldn't grow back. They then did the same with the previous head. Jamie knew about this from the myth of Hercules.

"I could've figured that out" said Knud, "if you weren't my cousin, I would **** you"
