As Crugeon's device exploded into a blast of unnatural light only equaled by the sun he closed his eyes tight. Crugeon's attack landed just like he had hoped, for a second he had doubted his decision but the power of the ring blew that from his mind. Crugeon felt him collide with the beast at first his huge swored skipped across the beasts steel like scales but then he found the gap and it drove straight in. Crugeon didnt know whether the yell was because the hydra was in pain from the trunk like blade of his sword or whether his device had worked and it had lost most of its sences. When Crugeon finally dared to open his eyes he saw the beast he smiled his trick had worked he noticed four of the hydras seven head's had been blinded by the light and saw them snapping wildly in the air. Crugeon had been caught in his glee and hadnt realised he was still in a battle he came back to a this sudden realisation when after the beast had been frantically trying to smash him off his body it decided to change tactic and slide away Crugeon couldnt help sliding down the slippery body of the hydra he landed in the water next to his men who had chosen to try run through the bog and had been fighing of heads and feet flying everywhere. Crugeon was puzzled surely the beast hadnt given up this easy then he saw....
he didnt like what he saw his face dropped from the evil smile it bore to a face of mixed shock and horror he hadnt seen what had happened to phoogli but whatever did he was now being carried away by some ape like creature the beast was headed straight for them he had took a different choice in opponent either cutting down the number of enemys he had to face or using them to his advantage a tactic Crugeon had used himself

Suddenly the ape fell it had seemed phoogli had woken up and realised he was airborne they slipped and feel hurtling to the ground hidden behind a bush
that didnt stop the Hydra in plunged in finding its victims and lifting them meters in the air Crugeon ran forward to attack again when he did the main head turned around and stared intot he eyes of Crugeon full of rage
“Hold your position Master General! I have hostages that I will not hesitate to kill!”
“It seems that a sick uncle has provided me with your Crown. You will stand down and tell me what you purpose was in attacking me! Then we will discuss my terms for their release.”

Crugeon gasped he found this hard to understand how had the position of power changed so quickly with the death of noone.

Crugeon thought wildely then pulled himself together putting together the words the hydra spoke

Crugeon ran it through his mind trying to think of a responce and as he did he realised something how had the hydra known of the crowns sick uncle?

he smiled he didnt know what advantage this gave him but he knew it was a start

crugeon relaxed his arms and held the power of the ring at bay which was craving to run at the beast again he spoke his voice sounding deeper and more forceful and powerful
"then lets discuss oh mighty warrior as you seem to be the one with the power here".
