I didn't say another word. I just started to attack the dragon bitch with my new sword. I aimed for the icy head that was on the left. This was the head that I thought might be the easiest now that there were more of the other side. Well, that was what I was hoping for anyway.

I ran down the center of the hallway, making sure the snake saw me and was preparing for a counterattack. Flames from the sword in my hands spread out behind me and I ran toward the beast that was in front of me. I even saw the way that those flames distorted my shadow as they moved around me.

As soon as I saw a couple of the heads rearing back for another attack, the two on the right, I spun to the side, kicked off from the wall, and brought the blade swinging down through the air.

There was a loud, whistling noise as the sword cut through the air. Part of me even wanted to think that there was a screaming as the blade threatened to kill everything that was around me. That was just my imagination though, that was for sure.

The only screaming that could be heard was the frantic cry of frustration that was my battle cry. That and the sound of the dragon screaming as the blade sliced into its neck and started to cut through its flesh, bones, and other tissues.

"RRAAWWRRAAGGHH!" The roaring scream was much like the sound that I had heard earlier. And it was definitely filled with pain. This time it was the pain of losing a head.

"Die, you stupid dragon." I snarled the words as I took one hand away from the sword and sent out a burst of heat.

It wasn't just heat that came off of my hand though. No, not just that. There was a bright flash of light as well as a fireball shot from my hand and flew straight and true toward the dragon's now flailing and bleeding neck.

The dragon head fell to the floor of the hall with a sickening thud while the dragon continued to scream above me.

"RRAAWWRRAAGGHH! RAWR! AHH! OOWWAAHHH! RAWR! RRAAWWRRAAGGHH!" The other three heads of the dragon were all screaming in unison, but it was like only the main head was actually feeling any pain at all. The other two heads, the two that regrew from the last severed head, were moving as if they were snakes in some sort of show. I just needed to try and figure out where the man with the flute that was controlling them was.

I tried to not give the snake enough time to recover. I didn't want to wait for it to attack me while I could be the one that was attacking it. But I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to do anything while I watched that spot where the other head had been attacked. I needed to see if this sword was working, if the fire was making a difference.

I ran backwards, skidding to a halt when I got to approximately the same spot that I had been in before. I stood there for a minute, and another minute, and one more just to be safe. And throughout that entire delay, the snake's neck didn't seem to be splitting at all. There were no more heads coming back.

"Oh, thank the Goddess." I sighed in relief. "It looks like following in Hercules's footsteps was a good idea. Fire seemed to be working, at least for now it was.

"RAWRAHH! YOU BITCH! YOU CUT OFF MY HEAD! AND WHY ISN'T IT GROWING BACK! WHERE IS MY HEAD? WHAT DID YOU DO!? WHAT IS WRONG? RAWRAHGH!"

Reece

"Holy shit! Reece, do you see that? Do you see what my sister just did?" Noah was hopping up and down while pointing at the screen in front of us. "Holy shit! My sister is a total badass! Yeah! Go Trinity! Look at her, Reece! Look at what she did!"

"I see it, Noah." I was grinning, not just at his very childish reaction but at the pride I felt while watching my Little Bunny.

I had literally just watched my Little Bunny stab her sword into the air so that it would disappear. And then right before our eyes, she made an entire new sword. She made something that was so similar to the sword that I could summon, only it looked like it was smaller and skinnier underneath all of those flames. It was literally made of fire in her hands and would be perfect for only her to use.

There were no words to express how happy I was to see that my Little Bunny wasn't letting this all get her down. She was going to keep fighting and this was proof of that.

While I thought that, my Little Bunny started to run toward the dragon, ready to fight. She kicked off of the wall and leapt through the air. The left head of the dragon was cut away and then flames shot out of my Little Bunny's palm. They hit the dragon making it scream in pain while my Little Bunny retreated to safety. She had done it. She had stopped the head from regrowing.

"YES!"

"HELL FUCKING YES!"

"WAY TO GO, TRINITY!" Noah, Trevor, and Valerian, in that order, expressed their delight at what they saw.

"That's my sister! YES!"

"YOU GO TRINITY!"

"I am so proud of my Gariníon [ 1 ]. She is so special and amazing."

"Of course, she is." I nodded my agreement with Valerian's words as I spoke, not taking my eyes off of the screen. "This is my wife we're talking about. The queen to so many and goddess three times over. Of course, she is amazing. There isn't anything else that she could be."

The three of us watched on as the battle on the screen continued. I could feel a renewed vigor coursing through my body as I watched the dragon start to scream and cry toward my Little Bunny.

"RAWRAHH! YOU BITCH! YOU CUT OFF MY HEAD! AND WHY ISN'T IT GROWING BACK! WHERE IS MY HEAD? WHAT DID YOU DO!? WHAT IS WRONG? RAWRAHGH!"

"Well, dragon bitch, I just decided to follow old legends and lore. I knew that the fire would work now, because it worked in the past. At least it worked in what I used to think was just legends and I am now assuming were all true. Who would have thought that Hercules, and all the other stories were true?" My Little Bunny laughed as if she was finding this all pretty funny right about now. "Despite all that has happened to me over the years, despite meeting gods and goddesses myself, I still never thought that they were true stories. Well, now I guess I have learned my lesson." She was still laughing as she taunted the hydra in front of her. "How many more legends can I call upon? What other lessons of history can I remember to defeat you?"
