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.

"What kind of ranch do you think I run here. Come here I'll show you what I got." The red head sighed, running a hand through her hair. "James, stay here, your the only one aloud in my room got it." Mentioning for Jonny to follow she began to move back outside. Crossbow still on her back, the pastures dotted with neon orange from the horses yet she crossed the drive way, using her key she opened a shack only to show that it was a storage shed.
"This place is known for flooding and harsh winters, so I keep it well stocked. Got food for the horses, myself, purified water, rations, more ammunition arrows hides. This is all stranded stuff you need when your in this kind of work." Moving to the back she rummaged through a chest, "if we can't get bit.."
She pulled out some leather, slinging them over her arm. "They always say the nerd is the one to survive these things. Learned leather work for cosplaying, can whip something up for you when we go out cause between a full group and my animals this won't last forever. Its meant to last me and James through the winter, not a group."

James on the other hand just turned on the PS4, the familiar music of the witcher greeting him. He needed to get his mind from this, just something normal. And if trying to keep up with his boss in video games than so be it.
Hun all the characters are stuck at the vault. No one can move without Gurren and your girl seems to be no where near the vault. You can keep posting, maybe have her cross ways with Eviledd1984 since hes not in the stand off right now.
"Well it seems you can hold out till we get back to the village. Have a few sets that can stitch you back together if you need it." Reema watching the others converse she rose a brow at the woman Elysia, what a strange way to go about. "Seems we won't have trouble luring monsters anymore, just anger the spitfire and they'll be happy to assist us in finishing our jobs."

Her words meant for humour she brought out a large hunting knife. The blade having no shine to attract creatures yet it was sharp to the touch. Moving to the beast she offered a few words before brining it down at the base of the neck, slicing just at the hide she began to move all the way back to the tail. Stopping a few times to get her barring again and continue. Her feather spent more of his time teaching her how to properly skin something as large as a Jaggi than building with their resources. His reasoning being that nothing she be wasted and that she could get the best equipment so long as she can harvest it.
Going at the legs and small arms she managed to rip off the hide before long. Crimson coating her arms yet she didn't mind the hard work. "There, one piece makes it easier to work with, we can cut it later, but hes big. Gonna be a lot of uses." With the inside facing the sun she took a wet stone to sharpen her blade again. Might as well just work fast to get everything and decide who gets what after their away from the kill.
Talons, tail spikes, she was gathering what she could to be taken back to the village. "Don't worry I'm not taking this for myself, best we just get everything out and decide what we do with it later." Hearing about the bones though she went back to the beasts's stubby little arms, cutting it open and bringing out the bone, hand able to grasp around it was longer than her for arm. "Think this will do?"

She found it was calming to work. Speaking about their tales, what they want to do with the kill as they lick their wounds. It was nice, these people were going to be considered her family. She was going to put her life in their hands, so small moments of just work and listening was a welcome pace.
Her bag filling she looked to the others. "I think we should head back to the village. The smell of these kills is bound to attract something to us no matter where we go. Anything else you want to do right now?" Trying not to take over she waited for a response, she was going to need help with the hide. It was a pretty big piece to just fold around and carry out.

Sweat dripping down her brow Reema was quick to dispatch the last of the jaggi, letting the creatures scatter when they realized that their pack leader was taken down. Her breathing coming in great gusts as her chest rose and feel over her steel plates she began to focus on easing the madness that pumped in her veins.
Moving to the kill she wasted no time in trying to move the Great Jaggi, using her shoulder she dug into his side, hoisting him up as though he were a fallen beam in the barn. If she had problems controlling her breath than it was gone, not a single gust escaped her lips as she tried to get her comrade free. Moment she saw he was she let the body fall, a thump echoing through the cavern as she loosened up her shoulder and offered Jacque a hand up, giving him a pat in the process.
"Well, its not what we planned but he would keep the village stocked for a while..and" She was already looking at the beast, nodding her head as she mumbled to herself. "Male, not young but not old ether...He'll make some great armour with that hide, bet ya you could add a tooth to that great sword of yours."

Looking back at her group she let out a sigh. "Well guys, it seems to me that we work well together, even without a plan made. is everyone aright?" She wasn't lying ether. She liked the way they worked, and was more than excited to really start going on adventures together. "We fought and drew blood together, in my family that means we're all brothers and sisters."
Turning back to the beast she knelt down, carefully reaching out and closing the eye that clouded over facing the sky. "Rest my friend, thank you for your sacrifice." She was making ideas of what could be used for him, every part had a use and she was going to make sure nothing went to wast.
Yet seeing the new woman Reema stood once more, a brow raised mis matched eyes looked down at the little tyke. "My name is Reema Zarule. And what was your reasoning for this hunt if I may ask? I checked the jobs in the village nothing asked for a great jaggi, we were the ones to take the request for his followers." She was indeed curios about the entire thing. She was so small yet acted so angry, it was not a good mind set to walk on the battle field with. Sure in a war with humans anger allowed one to go on, but against a monster?

No, you always needed to keep your wits about you. No monster is ever the same. Is thats how she fights than she could get killed one day if she keeps it up.
Reena found herself giving out a breath of relief. James was okay? "Where is he now? Do you know?" The guy was rough to get along with but he was always a good kid. Just needed something to get him away from the crap his home life brought him. Pointing her crossbow down she made her way back to the woods, nodding her head at the questions.
"Yeah, I own Misty Meadow. Name's Reena Hanlon, been training humans and equines my entire life." Seeing Epona she gave the horse a pat. Looking up at the girl on her mare's back. "Just gonna lead her back so hang on hun. We're all gonna be there soon, just before dark actually."

Taking the reins of her paint mare she began to move through the foliage with ease. A calmness about her even though the world was turning into shit. "What barn did your family use? I been the messenger for some, helping folk here round up their stock and secure their homes when they don't have the means to. Got a few horses to spare and know the area, can lend you a hand."

Family meant everything to her, and if there was another one trying to find each other in the thick of chaos than it was a need to help out. She could see it in his eyes, he was just a man worried about his family. "Don't worry, its just those cattle farmers who been turning people away. Lots here are good folk they just don't know whats going on cause they got their hands full with their animals."

It took almost an hour to reach her home. A long winding trail keeping the place out of the way for most unless you made an appointment. Trees producing a natural barrier, a small arena and stable dotting the land with pastures at the back. A two floor home at the centre with a small garden.
The door opening Reena found herself engulfing the blond that left her house. "You have no idea how much I was worrying about you. Where your mama?" Yet all James done was shook his head, the poor kid had no idea. "I just ran, mom could be one of those things for all I know."
A lump in her throat she began to nod her head, bringing the kid in a side hug. "We'll find her, she may have left thinking you already came here or that I got you. She'll be somewhere." It was a pathetic attempt to keep his hopes up, her voice convincing yes but the first rain of bombs was a sign that no one was leaving that city.
"Well guys, welcome to my home. It'll mean a lot if you wait a moment though, gotta untack Epona here and let her loose." The last thing she needed was a horse with saddle sores needing medical attention. No, if something happened to her animals now that she couldn't fix herself she would just have to put them down.

Leading her mare inside the barn James was quick to follow. "If you need to head inside go ahead, just don't go touching everything you see I got a collection in there." The barn itself was a warm place, wooden beams and thickly padded stalls with bedded shavings. Lights still on idacating power she put the mare in cross ties, taking the saddles off her sweaty hide James brought a brush to her coat. His eyes slightly clouded as he tried to vanish into his work. "Be careful out here hun, I don't want you to go running off on your own you understand?"
She couldn't bring herself to speak of the horrors that happened at the Petersons. The smacking jaws and grabbing fingers. She couldn't stand the sounds, the smells, non of it. Instead she just kept brushing, her crossbow still on her back.

Reena's house though spoke a different side of the horse woman. A large TV in her living room having all sorts of game systems. From the atari to the PS4, walls lined with shelves of games as well as posters of comics, movies and varies other stories. Her books cases holding books that were as thick as a man's hand from wrist to finger tips, authors such as RA Salvador and Gorge RR Martin, the warder man, the history of Drow.
Sure there were photos of her with her prized horses. Yet she seemed to keep equine pride in the stable or another room. It was a nerds dream in her house, her room even worse.
Name:Dolina
Age:15
Gender:Female
Appearance:


Anima: Northern Ghost Bat


Marking:
On her wrist

Abilities: Far more energetic at night. Amazing hearing, if she tries enough sometimes she can startle and cause slight confusion when screeching.

Personality: A quiet little thing due to the fact that her voice squeaks on some words. Embarrassed easily her talents shines through when shes scouting. A mischievous little shit when shes in the company of those she trusts.

History: Dolina was raised to be turned into an Anima. Thrown into a pit with a grab bag of beasts the group she belonged to would wait till she no longer screamed to retrieve her mangled form. Because of this shes covered in scars that she covers up. The reason behind this? Breed Anima to be later on sold as slaves.
Yet Dolina was lucky, she was found to have become a bat. What good was a bat? They were not considered beautiful, the pleasure houses would not have her, the coliseum would not take her tiny shape. She was not good for hard labor, she was too beaten to be used for pleasure yet her doll like appearance made her ill-suited for being a maid in someone's home.
Yet that is what made her lucky. She was about to be sold of parts when a hunting party wanted her. Claiming that a companion that could find a kill in the dark would be just what they needed. Far better trained than a hound as well. And so, worth only a few silver coins Dolina was taken to the hunting guild.
Life was not easy there at first. The hunters would not have her eat for free and so she had to learn and learn fast. She had to run farther than her little lungs ever taken, she had to strike the training posts till her hands were broken twinges. Her tears had to be shed in silence and she learned to live in the cold for months on end on a hunt. Starving, shivering and alone.

Yet after a few years, tiny 10 year old Dolina found a break. A hunter came to the guild as an Anima himself. A tank of a man with a bald Eagle Anima named Jath. Finding out how the guild treated the girl like a common hunting hound he was quick to gain a soft spot for her. Sharing food and bringing her inside when it was cold to eventually just having her stay in his room with him. The guild laughing at the big softy he simply said he reminded her of his little sister, something Dolina found that he was lying about.
At age 15 and not complaining about the tough love given to her. Dolina is now seen as a member of the guild thanks to Jath. A fate that she would gladly take over what she has seen become of her fellow specially made slaves.
(If theres too many females I'll see if you think her brother should be here.)

oh jeez, stay safe man. Thats more important.
When dressed as a witcher I'd like to think its a look that would strike fear into the souls of beasts that share my path. Not fluffy and adorable. XD
Okaaay I think the video games are getting to me..
That sucks, know a few in your shoes mate. I'm lucky that my family gave me the skills I needed to work a trade from home. And I meant beards, cosplay and crossdressing are the best. But difficult to speak of when your playing a game while typing XD
