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.

@Sol Grim

Looking at the fallen chopper James found himself thinking the sight was..well kinda cool. It was like an old movie, yet he couldn't just go and act like his old classmates, he would actually like to survive another day of this.
It happened way too fast, he could hear Azazel screech for a moment. Attention taken for only a second the kid didn't stand a chance against the men that pinned him. His blood was so cold, his heart pounded almost painfully against his chest. What were they gonna do? What was going on?

Looking over to see the barrel of a gun he found his breath stopping in a sound of fear. Eyes wide he actually felt tears stinging them for a second. "Come one man, please, you don't have to do this! I swear I won't tell anyone anything!" Yet the words fell on deaf ears as he heard the familiar snap that Reena had done right before a kill. "Come on please!!"
This was it, this was as far as he was gonna go. If he decided to go with Reena, would he have lasted a little longer? "Mom" it was a pathetically tiny whisper of a whimper. yet they were his last words, he left his mother for dead, he deserved this.

His heart couldn't have given another beat when he heard the string of gun fire race over his skull. His body tensing up he kept himself as close as he could to the ground, his face back in the dirt to hide till it was all over. Yet as he waited for death, nothing came, only a gentle breeze.
Shakily he began to move, eyes meeting with the gaze of some guy who looked late for a meeting. Eyes cold as though he were beyond done with everything.
His legs unsteady James stumbled a bit, he's never been that close to death. The shock leaving him he bent over and threw up, kid didn't even have a chance of holding in his breakfast. The stress of everything was starting to get to him, and if he didn't toughen up soon he was not going to last.

"Shelter? Why? Are there more of these guys?" Worry in his voice he looked back at the corpses. Roach and Azazel thrashing a bit he began speed walking to the animals. "Easy guys, come on, its over." His moves slow he grabbed the halters under their bridal, reaching to rub a small spot on their neck as he shushed them down. "Don't worry, your gonna be okay boy."
He was not as fond of humans, but horses and mules? He was quick to baby them. The look in their eyes was something that he gained a soft spot for and in turn he was actually pretty good with them.
"There's a few houses, lets see here..Guess closest place is Jake's place, hes kinds of a junk guy. he's closer than the barn back home though."
He was worried of course, the dead, the dead gapping maws and grabbing hands. They were here? "How did they get here?"
They couldn't stay at the barn, they might have to leave to higher ground, under ground, an island. Something, anything, but if they were coming they had to get out. "What about the others? We left the girls back at the barn."

----
Just as she got the bolt in Reena heard the click of a pistol, Johnny having David in his sights she was about to slide backwards with her load only to find that her team mate was taken out by another member. "Johnny!" It was all she could say when she felt a hand grab her hair, slamming her away as he grabbed the gun that slid on the floor. "Don't worry sweet heart, I'll make sure to treat you just like old times."

Head still spinning she stumbled for her crossbow. Hands grabbing hold of the life line only to see David pointing the same weapon at her partner.
Adrenalin pumping through her veins she let loose the arrow. A life for a life, she realized she couldn't do anything else as she watched the man's body collapse like a cheap puppet. Spitting out some blood on the floor she kept her head down as red droplets splattered the ground, yep, that was her nose.
"You aright?" She was panting and in way too much pain. Still she went over to the body, grabbing the arrow and pulling it out with a sicking sound. "Crap, this was my ex, his dad knows me."
She had no idea he would do this, she had no idea that David would come here at all. "fuck, why did he do this! What gotten into him!? I mean, yeah he was an ass hole but he would never try to kill anyone!" She was grabbing her hair, getting it out of her face only to pull at it in frustration.
Bitting her lip she began to work, grabbing the gun and shooting David in the head. "Can't let them know that a crossbow done it. Lead his dad straight to me." She was shaking slightly as she held out the weapon, shes never killed anyone before, least not a living human being. "Come on, your right, its time to go."
She couldn't help but laugh at the comment from Jacque. The look on Elysia's face all the more worth it when she turned to see the woman having a coughing fit and hitting her chest to calm herself once more. "Easy their my friend. I worry, one that makes jokes like that will find himself in a situation that could end in a world of hurt."

Still she couldn't help but notice the uneasiness in the smaller woman. Even when Roland began to speak of the tale of his weapon. One that Reema listened to with undivided attention. A small smile appearing on her features when she heard the fondness of his memories. Such an interesting idea of arguments, she could picture it. Whoever the two that helped Roland get his weapon seem to be the best to have started him. Kind people who did not take themselves too seriously but knew when to work together when needed.
"The heart will stay the same, you know, I might have to do that. I don't think I could bring myself to part with the beast that caused me to start hunting."

Yet before she could even finish her words Roland was gone. Gathering his weapon and rushing to his room like a child who was in trouble. "I fear I may have said too much..." It was a new place with new rules. They all came from different places, did she do something wrong? Shrugging her shoulders she sighed. Can't dwell on it for too long, after all it would only breed ill thoughts.

Instead she stood, stretching her lips as her back began to crack. One, two, only to start sounding like a small drum for a few moments. "Guess they caused me to lock up. I'll be working if anyone needs me," Patting Jacque on the shoulder as she left she opened the door to her room. Rummaging through her bag to find a leather bound folder. Untie the threads to open it's secrets it began to show intricate designs of monsters.
Grazing, mother's with their young, beats in flight or heads bobbing through the ocean waves. Every new thing she saw on a hunt she would document on paper with nothing but a bit of charcoal.
And so, brining out a slightly torn blank sheet she cleaned off the desk, bringing to work.
Yeah, Shifter is perfect for beating the crap out of Aurora. Her Wraith is her main combat summon yet the thing won't attack animals. (Was doing more research to find dos and don’ts.)

So pretty much, Scarlet Shifter has immunity to Aurora's current, most powerful summons.
Listening to the conversations around the lap top, Aurora found her ears following a pair of footsteps. Light, yet steady, Reaper? Clicking her tongue lightly she nodded, yeah, it was Reaper, taller, back straight it seems, or some kind of stronger posture than most. Once again she began to think of the advantages and disadvantages for going after Walker.

Kaite, if she used Kaite than it would have far better results than going after Scarlet. If she went after the shifter than she would have to use the Grim, sadly the Grim was used more for tracking than for combat. Yes, Walker is the safer choice for her to go after due to her abilities. If a fight were to break out she could at least have a chance.
"Umbra's mark." Being pulled from her thoughts Aurora turned her head at the sound. Her own mask kept her eyes hidden, pools of what many said to be a faint glow like blue. Something shifting in Reaper's hand, Aurora reached out. Fingers carefully brushing over what felt almost metallic in a way. The coolness of such material being absent, light but heavy, it was such a strange thing to hold. Something that she may never figure out fully.
"Thank you" her hands were already running over the object. "This is indeed more than helpful." She wasn't lying, the figure was coming to life in her mind. Lines, like the marks one would make in a prison. Slightly leaned but extremely fine, six vertical, one horizontal. Least they wouldn't get a count mixed for it, he made it easier for someone to find the thing.

Standing to listen as everyone began to figure out who went after who, Aurora kept thinking as she continued to run her hands over the creation. She wanted to make sure not to forget it. "My summon that is most suitable for combat works better when hunting a male. She travels short distances by vanishing and reappearing if she wishes, something like a wall? If its thin enough she would keep after him till our separation starts to cause me damage."
So many were going after walker though. Was she right in doing the same? Or was there another way to go after Shifter? "Lets see, I could use the same summon on Shifter. So long as she stays a human, that name of hers is making me think that's not the case." The Wraith that stayed by her side all these years never went after animals. Humans being it's only target for it's own reasons. "If shes anything but human than the Grim would be the next best thing, even than he's used for tracking."

So many ideas, so many choices. Yet each one comes at a price. The Risk of Katie leaving her is always there. It was never a pleasant thing to be too far away from the Wraith as she tugged your soul with her. But than there is the idea that Shifter could easily over power the Grim.
Tapping her cane to the floor she held the creation in her hand. Her thumb running over the surface once more she rose her head. To some it seemed like she looked right at them, yet her gaze never truly rested on any of the vigilantes around her.
Something changed in the air, head turning to Rose's direction she could not help but notice something changed. Uneasiness, what was wrong with her? She came here with an air of confidence, yet it was gone. A flick of the switch that had to have been caused by something. What was it?
"You know, as much as I appreciate the posturing and all, before we get into plans I'd like to know who I'm working with. Hopefully without any more of this bickering. I'm sure some of you have done your research and all, but I've got no clue who half of you are." She could feel her eye lids opening slightly yet she was quick to close them once more. "Sorry,but I can't afford to give out that knowledge." One false move and she could loose her competing line, others would think she had a unfair advantage if they knew she had abilities.
Yet she found her putting her lips in a tight line for a moment when Ditch decided to introduce everyone. Well that had been a interesting way to get around it all.

The sound of a bag unzipping she began to listen. The click of a lap top and tapping keys. Of course, its a damn screen. Gods she hates that about screens, can't really learn much from a normal lap top. “Umbra’s mark. He carves it into the foreheads of his victims" biting her lip in annoyance she sighed. She was going to have to ask Ditch what that mark felt like.
Scarlet and Wall Walker, interesting names. Though she couldn't help but remember hearing about them before. New maybe? Probably the news, one almost caught, another injured. And they needed to find them? A hunt?
Now that was something she could do. A hunt, nothing that the Grim couldn't find so long as he had a link. If there was enough and they were stubborn enough they might be able to find one of them before Umbra gets them. "Where is the last place Wall Walker was seen?" She loved a challenge, and this was probably going to be one of the most difficult so far.

"So, all we have to do is find them? This is going to be interesting."

<Snipped quote by Blaine Crommet>

Haha meant as banter :], keep em' coming man.


Thats it, gonna just give Levi names in different languages to see how long it will take for him to figure it out. Aurora will actually look everything up XD
Waiting on knight
One day we might even get angry glow stick to be civil. We would be like Yu Yu Hakusho!

Till than, Aurora is just gonna listen so she knows everyone's voices perfectly. But hey least Rose, Tank and TB are being chill about the entire thing. Well, Rose is, Tank is kinda crazy XD
Lightning cracks, ears perking at the sound Aurora turned her head. Her lips in a thin line as her mind focused on what was going on before her. In the back, slightly above. Dagger gaze, and..can? Graffiti? The sound of shaking cans was indeed hard to mistake, only to find the feathers covering her hair began to stand up ever so slightly, static dancing across whatever skin was exposed.
"Threats do nothing but breed doubt, a calm mind or even silence can end this."

The words falling from her lips she simply stood and listened. Picking up the voices, the tones, the depth, the slight change. The easiest to follow would be the dagger eyes, his accent was low, not vary common. The woman on the stage questioning Ditch sounded sharp, someone who thought higher of herself, maybe she had a reason for it? A large income? High upbringing? Rose was already spoken for yet she could not help but once again wish she had a way to figure out who Turn Back was. Her took something off, the sound of fabric falling to the floor was most likely what he covered his face with. Half mask at least, scarf maybe?
Levi
It was a faint voice, Ditch speaking behind her, Aurora found her attention grabbed once more. So, dagger eyes was Levi, that may come in handy in the future.

Voices and clashing minds. Fighting behind her and accusing words at her sides Aurora once again found herself with her lips sealed. No need to add to the flames that licked at the atmosphere.
Something kept pulling at her mind though. The one next to her, Ecto, at first she didn't pay too much attention to the male. But as he spoke she could not help but recognize his voice from somewhere, she just couldn't put her finger on it.

She could feel the air grow heavy once Ditch was questioned. Her father, killed and thrown in a Ditch. What a cruel name, the story felt like iron hands grabbing her. Memory flashing yet being forced back down like bile to not be thought of again. She had to focus on the matter at hand. And that was Umbra, they needed a plan, course of action, and Ditch seemed to have a plan. A motive for gathering and steps already thought of.
"Do you know Umbra's actual identity than? Or was your ties a simple acquaintanceship?" The more she knew the better, already she was weary, the idea of loosing her abilities was not something she could risk. "This plan of yours, who's involved in the first action?"
