"I must apologize. I didn't think you'd be able to rip my eye out." She hisses.

"Thanks. So the great Echidna is no more that a wuss?" I raise an eyebrow.

"What?!" She hisses angrily. 

"You're not as scary as I thought." I cross my arms.

"Excuse me?!" She hisses.

"Right..." I roll my eyes.

"Don't believe me?" She raises an eyebrow.

"Not really." I shrug.

"How dare you!" She roars. 

"Then prove it." I start walking backward.

"Do you have a death wish?" She raises.

"Well..." I wince.

A sudden pain bursts through my body. Blood gushes from my wound. I wouldn't be surprised if my blood spews out. It looks awful. I grip my wound. My vision starts blurring. I fall to my knees. What's happening?

"My venom has a tendency to... distraught." Echidna says.

Aw crap.

"Sinbad!" Proteus yells.

"Not so fast." Echidna slaps him off. 

"Hey! We haven't finished our conversation." I say.

"Go on." She says.

I take out my sword. 

"You're weak." I say.

She hisses. She charges. I start running. Marina turns to me. I wink at her. I slip through the arch as she slams into the arch trapping her arm. She tries to pull. I climb up to the top of the archway. This is it. Today you die. I wince as I pull myself up. Marina keeps her distracted by throwing a torch around her hand. I look at Proteus. He just looks at me. I turn to Echidna. I throw myself at her. She throws herself at me. I slam my sword into her chest. She hisses and screams.

"You-!" She yells.

"I told you I would kill you!" I yell.

She slams into a wall. I wince. I keep pushing the sword down. My thoughts go wild and blood spills from both of us. I look down even though my vision is blurry. I can barely see them. They're worth this. They're worth my sacrifice. Poseidon was angry at me. I blinded his son. I am the Monster Hunter.
