After Daniel finally woke up, we walked into the main part of Perth, which is in complete chaos as it is under attack from an abomination of Olympus, needless to say the whole situation was causing havoc, without surveying my surroundings properly and finding a reasonable plan to destroy the Hydra mutilating the city, Daniel, Cato and I charged into battle, weapons a blazing, managing to get the 5 headed monster's attention, not so much as the fact that we were yelling at it but because we stink, like at a smell only monsters can detect, it's a Demigod thing, although Daniel and Cato... Never Mind, as I shout "Don't cut its heads off !" Daniel does so and two heads simultaneously grow back in the place of the one beforehand so the count of heads is now up to 6. With a loud sigh of exasperation, I get into a close proximity of the Hydra to which it manoeuvres one of its many heads around the back of me and spits a burning poison at me which I dodge and take a swing at its hide with a Misericorde, a short-sword perfect for getting in between the gaps of armour or scales, slicing the leg of the Hydra, its blood bubbling from the cut, it projects its next dose of venom with such velocity and anger I didn't have time to react, it hit the the back of my right leg, scorching in pain, as I scream out I stab the monster where its heart should be, as I fall to the ground I see Cato's trident hit the torso of the Hydra and it turning to dust, however I was still screaming in agony, my calf bubbling away with a mixture of blood and a bright green toxin. I see Daniel rushing over and he's yelling my name, I can only faintly hear it over my screaming, abruptly it all stops, I'm not screaming, Daniel's not yelling my name and my calf definitely doesn't hurt as much because Daniel is next to me and has his hand on my knee and sending a surge of power through it and healing it to the best of its ability, the ooze has come out and it's just bleeding, it looks like your average swordplay cut, Daniel picks me up, his almost black brown hair is a mess, and his dark brown eyes are filled with concern, I give him a failed smile trying to say 'I'm fine' but all its really saying is 'I'm pretending to be okay but I'm really not' "We still going to the airport?" Cato asks, I give a slight nod "No, you'll be coming with us" 2 ordinary men grab Cato from behind and hold him as he struggles, another comes with a syringe and lodges it in his arm "Gods dammit" he slurs as he falls asleep, suddenly a syringe is implanted in Daniels neck and he drops me, I hit the ground with a sickening crack, "I hate needles" I say as I drift out of consciousness.
