Are Medusa's body hairs actually just tiny snakes?

Bio


I'm a sucker for romance, sci fi, fantasy and just about any modern city with a twist like monster hunting or super powers. Been writing for years, I didn't learn how to read till I was 12 so the moment I got the hang of it, I could not stop. Filling journals with stories one after the other, my younger sister eventually got me into role playing and it created a monster. I will play with you all day if you reply, post for post and will give you as much detail as I can.

Reena was already up,cleaning her tools and making sure everything was in order. "Idion, hunting knife, urine...lets see here.." She carried light, aside from a 170 pound draw compound bow. The thing was a monster and even she had trouble pulling it back sometimes. But one shot was all that was ever needed from the thing. Still no one could catch the red head without the crossbow slung over her back, it seemed like it was just another limb now.

Studying the group Reena looked at James, "I'll stay here, I saw you managed to get a signal flare from your last run. Something shows up, I'll send one off, hopefully I won't have to use it though." In turn she gave a smile, ruffling the kids now beach blond hair that was freed from grime. "Right, you be careful now, ya hear?"

"Ethan, your with me."
James was not surprised in the least that Reena chose Ethan to come with her. She'd rather be in range if something went wrong and she did not trust him a bit. Keep your friends close and enimes closer. He was tempted to tell the guy, but the egarness to help was a great change and he didn't want to ruin it.

"Not taking the horses today, cause too much noise and they need some rest. Come on, stick close and only do what I do." With that she handed him a knife, and only a knife for protection. "You guys watch yourselves out there, everyone would be wanting supplies now."
And with that, she was gone, patting Johnny on the arm as she and Ethan left to the wilderness.

----
It was quiet most of the hike. Reena aiming up hill, always trying to stay down wind. Her steps were light, hardly disturbing the world around her. They were far away from the gun shots and flames by the time she decided to speak again. "You ever been hunting before?"
She was getting near game turf. Stopping for a moment near a boulder she looked around, golden eyes surveying everything before finally sitting down, opening a vile of yellow liquid and dabbing it on her clothes. "I know, its gross, but gives you a better chance at not scaring something away. Tip though, never pick a deer in heat, that will get you killed."

She kept watching his eyes, his expression in them. Something had to have been off if he decided to put the team in danger. She couldn't blame him, the man lost his family. But she could not vary well just turn her back on him now that she knew he was willing to go for his own agenda at the drop of a hat.
Opening her bag she produced a small baggie of squirrel jerky. Biting off pieces and chewing it thoroughly, her head always up, always looking around. It took her a second to offer him some, her mind clicking that he probably forgot to pack some food for himself.

"You know, you gave James quit the scare." They were alone, no one could step in as she spoke her mind. The red head finally put her goods away, looking at the sky before finally locking her gaze to his. "That kid clung to you like you were a celebrity or something. He almost got himself killed and you leave him?"
Cracking her neck she took a deep breath, resting her elbows on her knees. "Listen, everyone deserves a second chance. You lost parts of your life that no one should have ever had to loose, I'm not going to lie and say I get that cause I don't yet. But if you ever betray my trust in you again, than I'll have to break James's heart and let you go. Cause there are a lot of things I'll do to keep that kid safe and putting him under the watch of people who leave without saying a thing is not one of them"

It was a while till she stood, offering a hand even that held no malice. It was like working with a friend that happened to be your boss, a fine line, a very fine line.

Enjoying his drink, Damion was leaning back against the bar, the night being relatively calm as he chatted with an old client. Something about him being a luck struck fool. Of course, he simply wanted a bit of venom from his barb, the male wanted to waste away in a drunken stupor of ecstasy that could leave him forgetting his own name.
"Well that would cost you a bit, but I can make it happen."

He didn't care, coin was coin. Reaching out, his hand shifting slightly from a strong masculine arm to fair tender skin and cared nails. fingers becoming to the fellow only for his spell to be broken, a curse under his breath while a young girl bumped into him, liquid spilling over his coat, the smell of cheap drink filling his nose causing him to crinkle his nostrils and furrow his brow, tail twitching in irritation like a cat over a offending mouse.
"Look, if you're going to get me wet, you better be buying me dinner first." A sly grin appearing on his features, he tilted his head, allowing the dragon to clean up the mess as he left her a top. Keep a good name in these parts, thats what one must do in order to stay in the good graces of more...temperamental beasts.

Yet before he could even make friends with the young woman, or even comment on the drunken vampire.... Damion turned his head, his eyes narrowed and the playfulness gone. "I smell a rat..."
And a rat it was indeed. A hunter, chaos exploding before his eyes as a dagger embedded the girl, humans taking pictures only to meet the end of their lives within moments, dust dancing across the floor while the sound of weapons unsheathing sang in harmony like a vengeful orchestra.

"And that is my cue to leave."
A smirk on his face, the male backed up, hands behind his back while rocking on his heels. "Been swell but this little lady can't get her hair ruined, I just got it done. Give the owner my sympathy, you know where to find me." Already opening a gate way to his home he waved, falling backwards into his home. Landing on the mattress in a heap. "Guess that could have gone better...."

Something needed to be done about the hunters. They were getting a bigger set of balls that needed to be cut. he was no fighter, but he had other things to offer.
He was just getting sick of not being able to have a drink without a knife being shoved in a comrade's back.
Guys your gonna have to.drop me. Im on stand by at the barn, fire broke out and we are preparing to evacuate if.it travles anymore. Not fiar to keep you guys back another week....
"Yeah, your right. I never really shot a gun until a few days ago, Reena only let me use a cross bow." Raven was right, they were lucky. "Dallen, Johnny and Reena, those guys know how to survive. If it was just them than it would be simple to survive. I don't know about you but right now I'm just dragging them down a bit....."

He ran a hand through his hair, pulling at the end before kicking dirt over the flames. Extinguishing the charred remains that began to crumble in the pit. He needed to learn how to defend himself better. He could still feel the barrel of the gun on his back, the fear that sank through every crevice of his body, that he actually had tears in his eyes and whimper for his mother.
This isn’t a world where you can be a child...

Walking back to the farm, and putting vader in the pasture. James entered the house to see the new girl walking around freely. Was that okay? He could only shrug his shoulders, they had a better opinion on people than he did. "Bodies are cleaned up, burned them so they shouldn't be attracting anything."

The smell of food in the air, he sat down, only to realize that Ethan was gone again. A sigh escaping his lips he got a serving of Grits before walking up stars. "If he doesn’t want to eat, you shouldn't make him James...."
"But I don't, we just can't have someone in the group starve though."

Taking a deep breath he knocked on the door, listening for a response only to open the door anyway and set the bowl down on the table by the door. It was quiet, not a word spoken for a while, what could he say? The guy lost his family, but something was weighing heavily on his mind.
"You know, if you told me I would have came with you." His hands clenched he found his gaze glued to the floor. "I wouldn't have been around for when you buried her but....but you should have at least had someone to keep watch. If that girl wasn't there what would have happened?"

-----

A whistle escaping her, Reena looked over the loot. "Way better than I thought, and Dallen is right, forest is too dense to use these, too loud, and I'm pretty sure Dallen is the only one here that was trained to use them..." Offering the bottle to the guys she sat on the couch. A sigh escaping her as she watched James head upstairs, once again trying to take care of Ethan.

He's too soft right now and it worried her. James was a good kid, but he was too good. Soon he's going to be put in a terrible situation and he would have to get himself thicker skin to survive.
The red head couldn't help but keep Liz in the corner of her eye at all times. A golden gaze watching her every move. "So Liz was it? Reena. You have a plan on surviving out there?"

She was trying to figure out their next move for themselves. "Place is fenced in, just not as strong as I would like. I'll see what we can do about that. Also, I'm thinking about hunting tomorrow, there's still game here and honestly venison is the best, won't be a lot left after a few months. So if anyone wants to learn than get up early tomorrow."

Later that night she boiled another pot of water, getting the bathroom set up for the others. "Liz, or Johnny, you guys pick who goes first." She already empted out the room for anything that could be used as a weapon, couldn't hurt to let the girl take a bath. "Well, since the power is still running, I'm playing some games. Only a matter of time before the electricity is no longer pumping and we'd have to moderate it with the generator."

Turning on her PS4 she sat down in her game chair. Turning on game after game, destiny, borderlands, fallout, witcher, she was a skilled player, one that was engrossed in the games that she switched around through. After all, this could be the last time she could actually enjoy something as common as a video game.
It was a cold night, the darkened blue canopy hanging overhead. The chilly air nipping at all exposed skin as humans pass by, their breath in wispy trediles. A cheap imitation of the beasts of legend that could be not a step behind them. Faces buried in layers of fabric, hurried paces trying to get to a detestation, the streets echoing with the sound of midnight traffic and hushed phone calls, bouncing and echoing through the towering sky scrapers that reached for the night sky like desperate hands.

With so much activity in the lit night. It was easy to miss a building of red brick and faded paint. It's good years behind the tagged walls. Standing far shorter than the business at it's sides. While the short wired, illuminated sign blinked on and off reading, "Beasts Den" did not seem too welcoming. The place still seemed to get quite the activity, it's door opening and closing, yet hardly a body could ever be seen escaping the confiding space.
Inside was warm though, far more so than one would think. The smell of spice hung in the air. Characters of all kinds and all forms sitting at the tables and bars. A game setting of dart boards and pool tables in the corner, surrounded by a gang of feeble men and women alike. The walls hanging with works of art and newspaper clippings, with the soft music of jazz would make it seem like any other club. Any other bar even, the bartender pouring drinks, the lady mentioning men and boys alike to follow. It all seemed to fit right in with the harsh space of New York.

"All a mirage" a handsome man sitting on a stool, back to the bar in a relaxed state, couldn't help but give a smirk at the humans who unknowingly sat next to a dullahan. The sorceress that was in charge of the place was good, he had to give them that. Here he could take a drink with his tail, the barb flicking this way and that, yet no human or beast seemed to bat an eye. Humans seeming to be in a daze, lost even as they asked for a drink or bite of food only to leave unsatisfied.

Raven hair tied back in a pony tail, silver eyes scanning the place around him, Damion found himself with another board night. One that ended well at work, his pockets linned with tips, but still a boring one all the same. A glass of start burst vodka in hand, yet a clear mind, he shrugged his shoulders. Listening to a conversation about how the hunters were getting more gutsy, going after older creatures of lore, caused him to make a mental note.
"Don't go home alone Damion, girl like you could be hurt by the big bad hunters."

Eyes narrowed, he pierced the barb end of his tail deep within the polished wood of the bar. Right in between a set of fingers belonging to a drow. A grin plastered to his dace, the male began to swish is drink in hand, watching the colours bleeding in like a oil spill. "Don't go warning me with a good time. Come on, no one would ever want to deal with the likes of me. After all, I'm just a guy trying to get by."
Wohoo! post 100 XD
