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.

Aurora was watching the entire screen, keeping her hands on the wheels so Chase couldn't just move her away. Brick really was crazy, eyes wide she couldn't move from the sight of him bashing the raider in over and over again before shaking her head. This was the wasteland, you got to be tough to survive.
Though he actually looks kinda crazy...

Getting her bearings when she saw the others start to move she was brought back when her companions where asking of she was okay. Chase already reloading as she shook her head.
"Am I okay, what about you? Your head was almost blown to bits by some guy not even a meter behind you!"

"Its true, you owe that girl a drink, pretty sure that was her first kill to." Chase wasn't even looking at her as he kept the sights of something else in his scope.
"Actually the first one is in the back, remind me to throw up when everything is done."

Yet her jokes were cut short, eyes going wide she heard the roar again only to find her blood running cold at the sight of her sister up top. "Oh no Eden!"
It didn’t look good, not at all. The older woman didn't have that thing under control for ever. She was loosing and when that happened she and her allies are going to be in danger.
Narrowing her gaze at the target she began to remember her sister's teaching. if its big or armourd, never aim thinking its going down on the first hit. Go for the limbs, slow it down.
"Knees, go for his knees"

Confusion hitting Chase he looked behind him as if she turned into a ghoul. "Eden told me about it, if you shoot him in the head or chest he might not go down, aim for the joints in his legs he'll fall off the building and knowing her she'll have that thing fall off with him!"

@Sohtem

Eden had to think fast, she could feel the beast shake its head, the blade digging into it's own throat yet it refused to slow down as crimsion leaked from it's scales.
The male shouting at her to take them both down she waisted no time, grabbing the rope she tied it around her left arm in a suicide knot before grabbing her gun, using her arm as a brace she took aim, slowing her breath trying to find the spot that would deal the most damage.
Than again, if she shot her ally through the chest, the move would provide cover from the bandit and he wouldn't realize that she was taking aim at his throat until it was too late.
"Take em both out or risk the big one surviving...."
"Umm, excuse me miss Namid..but aren't you supposed to be at some school?"

The brushing of mane was all that was given in answer. Standing next to a great stallion who held a stance of steady patients was a woman with tanned skin. Body of muscle she was taking care of her companion with careful hands, silver eyes matching his own as if they were twins following the path of muscle that trailed down his body to make sure everything was right with him.
"I was offered a job, dose not mean I'm gonna take it."

Her voice stern she picked up one of the horse's hooves, a hoof pick in hand as she removed the stones from his shoe, going from one to the next till all four were done. Throughout the procedure the fellow ride kept his eyes on the woman, confusion in his gaze. "You said it was one of the best jobs that anyone could offer, so why are you not taking it? Show season is over and it's a school so you could be set all year round, no more odd jobs."

A click of her toung the stallion seemed to almost narrow his gaze along side her as she stared at him. "Cause I done it once and it didn't work out all that well, so I'm not going to waste my time. Just going to head over there to tell the head master that he's better off finding someone else to teach their kids how to ride."

----

True to her word Namid found herself in front of teller university, her stallion behind her she was able to get their fairly easily since her last show was stationed only a few hours away. Gesturing to the gate with her head they went through the courtyards, students looking at the woman who kept her hands in her pockets, her beast following without a lead as they went through the halls only to find the opening ceremonies.
"Came at the worst time, well than Dolsha, guess we should look around since we have a few hours to kill." The beast nodding it's head they began to wander, foot falls being muffled by the hoof beats of iron shoos and gravel roads.

It was a nice place, grand even for her. The buildings of old reaching for the skies, animals running to and from students, each one having untapped power. "Wonder which one is going to end up a killer or something."
A snort given to her in responce the stallion began to keep quiet, his eyes unsettling as he caused some students to shy away from him studying each and every one as though he turned their souls this way and that.
"You don't have to figure it out right now Dolsha, humans are idioticly bad by nature, doubt you'll find one right now."
@Sohtem

She didn't have an issue with leading the scaly beast to the leader. The compacted liquefied carcases on his arm was more than enough to tell the lizard that the bandit before them was food. Just along for the ride since it was the safest spot Eden found herself leaning into the protruding spines as a laser went over her head.

Looking over her shoulder to see the other bandits trying to take aim she clicked her toung, grabbing a knife from her boot she locked on target with her golden gaze, aim true she threw the small weapon only for it to land on point. one down, too many more to go the roar grabbing her attention once more she brought her leg up to avoid a blast only for it to go into the hide of her beast, the smell of scorching meat entering her nose making her feel slightly sick as they charged once more, praying to whatever would listen that she wasn't going to get shot.

Again they went, crashing into the leader she tried her best to grab the weapon in his arms, the beast using all it's strength as it snapped its jaws at him again and again, salivating for a bite of what smelled like heaven to the creature as Eden went for the wound she made earlier, with everything she had she jammed her hand into it, twisting before she brought it back up, the sight of crimson that was not her own running down her hand she swung her leg off the side of her mount and hung on the other to use it as a shield as another round of bullets came through.
"Shit, can't get him like this."
She needed to think of something and fast, at this rate she was going to loose control over her new found weapon or they were just going to kill him here and now before he could do any damage to them.

@MonsieurShade

A grumbling sound that would rival that of a mother Ludroth erupted from Reema's gut. A large book of the local monsters opens before her, she spent the entire morning studying of what she could find out in the moga woods. "Jaggi, Rythalos, Qurupeco, Ludroth, Rythalo..Oh man I got my work cut out for me."
A smirk on her features and a gleam in her mismatched eyes she closed the book, a sheet of dust escaping from the pages and causing her to cough, shaking her head, a mane of hair leaving the braid she had it in earlier. She began to stretch, a yawn cracking over her face only for her gut to rumble again. "Okay fine I'll eat..jeez."

Still dressed in armour, her duel blades strapped to her waist she headed off into the main hall. The woman who checked her in waving for her to come back. "Oh yeah, miss hunter, sorry your name is not on the top of my head yet. Anyway, thought to tell ya that you have a partner, isn’t that grand? You two work together and your chances of bigger game will go right up!"
She raised a brow at the words, another hunter? Already she was looking around her at the quieting town, the smell of the sea hitting her a bit harsher than she would have liked as she tried to spy the grand armour and weapon's her companions would have donned.

"I'll be sure to keep an eye out, thanks for the heads up." With that she left, heading to the mess hall only to find a Felynes in the back she gave a smile, her mouth watering at the smell of sizzling meat. Oh what could that be? Leaning over the counter she produced a few coins for the feline creature. "How much for a meal of tough meat, powdered cheese and rice?" About to hand over the amount though the cat shook his head, giving up a late. "First one is always on the house, but don't get greedy hunter, best stuff is when you get the ingredients yourself you hear?"
Taking the food with gratitude she nodded in head in thanks. Promising to work her own share as she sat down to enjoy her food. Flavours dancing over her toung she looked up for a moment only to see the colour and size of a great sword. "Hmm? So guess thats the new one?" Already she was trying to figure out what strengths she would gain from a great sword, shes always worked with a hammer user so now?

No, eat first, strategy guides later.
spoken like a true pirate XD
"James...I'm, I'm James.."

Every gun fire caused the poor thing to flinch, eyes going around trying to get a glimpse of his mother somewhere. She had to be somewhere, maybe she was already on her way to the farm areas. She's forgotten him at the store a few times, and at school, and at his dad's house...

Tensing for a moment at pat he looked up, taking a deep breath to try and calm himself down. Right, he had to get this right. The taller of the two were listening to him at least, but he didn't know about the other guy.

"Its a half hour drive from here..right off of exit 132 down south lake road...."
As if to make sure he was right he flipped open the phone again, should he call Reena again? Bringing a hand to his left arm he took in a sharp breath when his boss sent him a text.
"Take the back roads, never go anywhere near the main road or the city, get out now."

Holding out the phone he shook his head. "Look she's back at the barn right now, shes probably watching the news right now."

@AccursedBiscuit
The sound of gun fire caused the albino to rise her head. Forgetting about the student that had helped her she reached for one of the books on her belt, an engraving on the cover to tell her which was which as it began to glow in a deep blue as she turned, grabbing whoever was close to her in the process to steady herself.
"On his stride of hooves with thunder"
"He carries on his back another"
"His body thine shield"
"And would cause those who wish harm to kneel!"

She heard the steps first, random clicks of horses hooves as a great shadowy outline of a horse like beast stood in the path that the janitor was in. Not moving an inch the creature was almost a shield, every sound he made allowed her to picture him easier, ebony fur and sleek muscles for only moments till it went back to being the outline.

Breathing harsh she didn't let the shadow leave till someone said things were okay. Her breathing slightly laboured Kaite reached out amielsly with her hand till she felt what lay before her.
"Thank you, may our paths cross anew"
With her spoken words she closed her book, a sigh escaping her as her legs buckled. "Tis only a day and I feel as though someone tries to throw my life away. Is this the life of a hero? Cause I think my chances may be zero."

@Larfleeze @Mr_pink
@AccursedBiscuit

The kid nodded shakily, holding his arm he licked his chapped lips as he tried to get his words about him. "I work for the woman, she just, just called me. See we have this phone for emergency and well..Listen its a barn, its outside of the city, its where those farms are at that teens would sneak to during prom. One of em is called Misty Meadow and the owner told me to get there. I can show you the way but I can't go alone."

He looked like he was about to cry, his mother was gone, probably killed, only way he worked there was caused Reena took in "troubled teens" for her stable. And now he had no idea what to do, he was no gang member, he was just a kid who smoked pot when no one was looking and skipped school.
His shoulders shaking he began to mumble, yet he clung to that phone for dear life. "Please, please just help me get out of here, please!"
no worries, I forgot it was the superbowl till my neighbours starting shooting off in their yard XD
@Sohtem @Crossfire

Seeing the leader about to lay a blow on her Eden began to brace, this was not going to end will, broken body at the vary least, and that means her chances of surviving this guy would be going down the drain like the first night she started this shitty life.

Preparing to at least do some damage with her she brought out a grenade only to find the hand was put to a stop at the butt end of a rifle. Eyes slightly widened she looked to see the smaller male, who's face she tried to cave in. Raising a brow in curiosity she was only given the question of if she needed some help.

Yeah, she did, but there was no way in hell that she was going to be saying that.

Instead she took another stance, the male brushed aside like he was a rag doll into the other building causing her to click her tonge. People like that never really did lost long now had they? Yet it was his words that caused her to roll her eyes, he wanted the woman to run, to leave and just let the guy be killed.
"And let him continue? You really don't know how raiders work do you?"

She began to relax as she heard the beast get closer, grabbing the male's shoulders she positioned him back near the shop as though she were working with a child, ignoring the leader almost as she went to her bag and produced a rope that she began to wrap around her blade. "See, he'll want compensation for the work he put out here in killing you, so he and his men will take whatever they want, caps, ammo, food, women..."
snap
"And I can't have that happen when my only family is hidden here cause she decided to sneak out."

It was as if it was waiting on her to finish. Out of no where a beast barrelled through the wall, a roar escaping its lungs. Well, it did look like a death claw from afar, one with broken horns and spines but this thing? Again it let out a roar, cloudy white eyes sniffing the air she pushed the male out of the way, bringing her now padded weapon out she done something that most would call crazy.

She climbed up on it's back.

It didn't have the long arms that she was used to, walking on four limps with a long tail and slender face. She clung to it's body, using the blade under it's neck as a snaffle as she stayed up. Honestly it was the safest spot for her, now hunkered low to the ground she began to think it looked like one of those lizards aurora used to keep in the house when they were kids.

It let out a roar again, metal plates indicating that it was anything but wasteland natural. The thing was someone's pet and she was using it. Swinging it's head around it sniffed the air, the smell of decay coming from the leader due to the liquid Eden threw on him, letting out a cry herself the beast began to charge, a gaping maw with decomposing teeth filled with infection came to greet him as it tried to bite down of where it thought the food was.

-----
Chase watching the entire thing began to swear in a long stream of colours. More bandits were flocking his way, bodies falling by the door, yet what caused him to become a bit too worried about where Aurora was, was when he saw the body in the back.
"Thats it, come on I'm getting you to a safer spot."

"I'm safe here, go on cover the others I got myself handled here." The red head was fidgety, her voice calm yet she found her fingers loading and unloading the weapons that lay on her lap. "Listen hun, I'm not trying to scare you but your sister found something, beast whatever I really don't know. Might be someone's pet I really don't care, so I want you out."

Wheeling outside for a moment to see what he was talking about Chase began to protest. The woman was as crazy as her sister. "Aurora get back insi-" He couldn't finish his words, the sniper rifle that he was given was stolen out of his hands by the red head. Her moves were fast she shot it off, a yelp escaping her from the impact yet it was true as he saw what she was aiming for.

"Shit you just saved the Brick guy...guess he owes you a drink." Words falling from his lips as he saw the corpse that was aiming at the covered weapon's specialist he shook his head. "Get in the back before they see you!"
