Chapter 109 - Gorgons (1/2)

Theoric and Anna were soon surrounded by the snake creatures as they began prodding the orange glowing energy dome barrier with spears, trying to discover what it was, after following the scent here and seeing no prey.

Anna couldn't believe her mother could curse this many- ”Do you really think my mother did all this?” she asked worriedly.

Theoric also couldn't believe it as he felt them slithering all over his barrier trying to get at them,- ”I don't know... Let's find out.” he said reaching through the barrier with his hand as he grabbed one pulling it inside.

The surprised creature didn't even have time to register what happened before Theoric wrapped up its head in energy and pinned it's wiggling body down so it could move. He then increased the strength of the dome as he risked opening his eyes to check out the monster.

Anna gasped in surprise- ”What are you doing!?”

Theoric- ”I wanted to check it out, maybe seeing it will enlighten us.” he said as he dropped the barrier he had around her after determining it was safe.

She instantly moved her hands to help cover her eyes after feeling the barrier drop, in case she accidentally opened them- ”Are you nuts!? Don't tell me you've actually opened your eyes!?” she exclaimed in shock thinking he's gone mad.

Theoric- ”Relax, I covered its head so it can't see us and we can't see... It's head, it's actually neat looking, I wonder if it's nice having a snake body like this, guess I'll ask Medusa when I see her.”

Anna slowly peeked through her fingers before removing her hands and completely opening her eyes, looking at the wiggling snake monster that was trying its best to thrash around and free itself.

Theoric- ”Woah there fella, seems like he didn't like the name Medusa.”

Anna snorted- ”Or being restrained, hmmm.” she bent down to get a closer look feeling the snake man's long body and arms.- ”Seems real enough, maybe these are the original's that my mother used as a basis for her curse, I don't see anything that would suggest it was once human, I guess we'll know once we see Medusa.”

The snake suddenly shuddered angrily again against his restraints.

Theoric grinned- ”He definitely doesn't like the name... Medusa.” he said pausing for dramatic effect as the snake man once again angrily responded to the name.

Anna- ”Wish I could see its head, I wonder what it looks like.”

”No problem,” he said making the energy covering the head conform directly to the contours of its skin so they could see what the shape of its head at least looked like.
