Marzia looked around her, golden ichor was sprayed everywhere on the grass. It was an encouraging sight, that meant the monster were going back to their domain. She looked around her calmly, muscles tense and face relaxed. Her own hammer was sprayed with the ichor, she had been fighting as harshly as the others, and yet the hounds were still unrelenting. She tried to find those in need of help, children maybe? But as she scanned the crowd, she could see that others were handling themselves fine. Sure, some needed assistance but nothing major.
Until...Marzia saw the Aphrodite girl. The one who wanted to lead the chariot race. She was strangling a hound, but it was clear she couldn't last much longer. Marzia cursed, she would not help a child of Aphrodite! A voice spoke in her head though; it was sweet and persistent. It made Marzia step forward, then start running, running towards the girl.
Marzia closed the distance more quickly than she would have thought, her hammer was raised high above her head, spiked side down. With a grunt she lowered it, the hound had already twisted it's head. And as it tried to turn in am attempt to bite Marzia, the hammer reached it's target. Marzia winced as she felt the impact of the blow, the hellhound yelped; stuck in it's neck was a long Celestial Bronze spike, and draining from the wound was golden ichor. The hound still wasn't done, it lurched forwards, pouncing onto Marzia weakly and pinning her down. With a screech Marzia crossed her arms in front of her face and tried to avoid his bites.
The beast clawed at her slowly, it yelped each time it moved it's head, straining because of the hammer there. Even though it was weak, Marzia knew she was done for. Footsteps bounded towards them, Marzia thought it was another hound coming to join in on the fun. We'll it was...but it definitely wasn't the hound she expected.
An automaton dog launched itself against the beast's side, throwing the weak hound to the ground beside Marzia. Marzia scrambled to her feet, the automaton was biting into the Hound's thick underbelly with bronze teeth. Marzia took the chance, running over to the hound and while it tried to escape the dog's grasp, grabbing her hammer. It didn't come out right, so she had to move it up and down viscously, while trying I ignore the howl's and barks the hound made. By the time her hammer was out, the deed had been done. Marzia panted, looking around and then at the Aphrodite child. "Learn to fight." She muttered, before turning and running back into the main battle.
