Thread: [Persian Desert] Sands of Time

    The Basilisk's hiss became even deeper. It'd expected the immediate death of the boy but instead it continued to stand before him eventually changing some so that he was able to stare back. What should have been an instant win became something more than a standoff. "GORGON!!!~~~~~" came a disgruntled hiss from the large beast. It seemed that Athos thought this creature ugly and it understood enough of what he said to scoff at the comment. "You look like a tasty little morsel!~" and with that the Basilisk would immediately try to snap up the young man within its jaws aiming to eat the young man, even if it didn't succeed in this, contact with anything in its mouth would lead to a toxic venom being introduced to his person. Regardless of this situation, it seemed that the Basilisk wasn't at all concerned, many had come to kill it and none had succeeded.

    Meanwhile, Deianira continued to watch from a great distance as the large beast rose, but beyond this point, it seemed that she now knew what Athos had been busy hiding and why he preferred to be alone. 'Oh, he's a Gorgon probably mixed with some sort of water nymph... that makes sense. Probably has a petrifying stare... so much sense is made by this.' she thought as she refilled her now empty cup, again it was just nectar, which she seemed to be enjoying like nothing else. This lonely boy was likely a strange mix of things, but by Deianira's approximation it still didn't really account for his lack of social skills.

    "I probably taste like fish," Athos replied. The Basilisk attacked him, and while Athos had few methods of responding to something so massive, he did not seem worried. His positioning was quite bothersome for one who wished to avoid being split by such large fangs. With the beast's open mouth closing in on him, Athos moved forward and mystically transformed his legs into a long, serpentine tail. This allowed him to slither around and between the teeth while swiping at its gums and inner mouth with his claws. Athos seemed unfazed by the monster's venom, but his own fangs and claws carried an incredibly potent neurotoxin that he intended to test on this enemy. "I'm taking this fang."

    "A rare delicacy!~" it seemed like this was just another meal to be consumed by this monster. Of course, this didn't turn out the way that the Basilisk thought it was, and instead, it was stuck with a slippery snake boy slicing into its gums and leaving behind a substance which began to cause it pain in its mouth, which loosened a tooth and would within a moment allow a large fang to simply fall from its mouth. "My fang, you tsssok my fasssngss..." the beast had never felt a pain like this before and aimed to spit out the meal it had so recently tried to devour. But soon enough its nerves would begin dying and given the proximity of its teeth to its brain, it would begin finding speech and other such functions rather difficult. Its mouth wouldn't function the way it was used to, and its tongue wouldn't even work.

    'Oh a snake tail too!~' it seemed that by the end of her second cup Deianira was at the edge of her seat watching the young man work in the distance. Though she didn't interfere she was at least assured by what she was witnessing that this young man was perfectly capable of taking care of himself. Meanwhile she wondered what manner of poison the Basilisk possessed as it was obviously too brightly colored to be a normal creature.

    Athos' own venom seemed potent enough to remove one of the monster's fangs for him. Just like that, the first part of the task was done. However, he now had to finish dealing with the Basilisk itself. It aimed to spit him out, and though there was nothing he could do about this, he made use of the time window by aiming his claws at the gums around another fang. Upon being forcibly ejected from his confines in the Basilisk's mouth, Athos landed near the fallen fang. He wrapped his tail around it, wondering if this Basilisk would be able to resist its own toxins. Athos' tail was powerful, even for a Gorgon's. With that in mind, he whipped himself around to launch the Basilisk's own fang at it, intending to pierce its flesh and fell it with its own ability.

    Another of the beasts fangs fell out of its face as Athos aimed more of his corrosive poison around the gums of the creature before being spit out. Though his meal was currently out of his mouth, the Basilisk seemed to just be waiting for a better opportunity to injure and devour the boy but this was not to be. The Basilisk's fallen fang was soon its own undoing as it was launched at a speed to quick to dodge at its own face. The tooth soon protruded from its mouth and blood poured from the wound. Beyond the blood pouring it would also be affected by its own poison which finished the job the neurotoxin started. The light drained from this creatures eyes and it soon fell dead to the white Gorgon boy, without another sentence to be uttered.

    Deianira watched the rest of this bout and clicked her teeth with her tongue as she settled back into place seemingly happy with her snug spot. 'He's really awesome~' she thought. Her cup resting in place beside her as she leaned into the crevice and stopped watching the lad as he'd finished his work. 'Strong tails, that's interesting... not necessarily an orthodox hunt but... a good one nonetheless,' she thought lifting her cup to the boy's success

    A sigh escaped Athos as the Basilisk fell. In truth, he'd hoped the beast would have been turned to stone after his eye patch was removed, but he figured it was snake-like enough to be unaffected by the Gorgon's stare. With the monster out of his way for good, Athos reached into his satchel to retrieve his eye patch and don it again. Doing so returned his form to its previous state. He approached the Basilisk thereafter, channeling a bit of his Gorgon self into his hand to regain his claws. These were used to trace long lines of his neurotoxin along the Basilisk's side. He did this to peel off strips that he would then use to create a holster for not one, but both fangs. This required him to remove one from the Basilisk's face, but gravity aided him in this. Soon enough, Athos was walking toward the location he'd left Deianira at, dragging two massive fangs along the sand behind him by straps made of Basilisk hide.

    By the time Deianira had drained the contents of her cup, the young man was once again approaching. Though his return had taken a bit longer than the girl thought was necessary she soon realized why this was the case, considering he was dragging behind him two of these large fangs wrapped in what had to be the beasts hide. "Nice hunt, Athos~" she complimented. She'd been told not to look for him but still couldn't help but have a gander at his approach. "Why do you have two?" she wondered aloud, as she dropped from where she was. Her intent to help the lad lest he have to carry multiples of these around all by himself. She wouldn't speak again because she had clamped between her own teeth the top of her cup which is how she chose to carry it when her hands were otherwise occupied.

    Athos' return was met by congratulations from Deianira. He had nothing to say in response to this, but she went on to question why he had two of the Basilisk's fangs in tow. Looking behind himself at the fangs, he gave a reply to at least this subject. "Because I took two out of its mouth," he said. He was apparently to have some relief from the weight of the fangs thereafter, which was not something he could or would complain about. "We have to go north. Is land or sea best?"

    A few seconds after she'd landed she took control of one of these giant fangs. Having wrapped the hide of the beast around both hands she began dragging it along as well. It seemed the young man wasn't really capable of taking compliments which she apparently expected but when he went on to explain why he had two of these a light chuckle could be heard from the young woman. "Funny..." she said speaking technically into the cup clamped between her teeth. As they began to move she thought about the direction they could or would take to head further north. With that in mind she frowned a little and stopped.

    "I actually don't know," she said as a desert eagle flew over head with tawny feathers and huge talons. She let out a sound which was a bit like a whistle which called the bird down to her. She looked at it for a while and after a bit she tossed the bird with the wing span larger than her body back into the sky so it could continue its hunting. "The eagle says, that there is a huge city built in an oasis against the mountains which lead to the north across the desert, getting there would take a few hours flight for him so about a half a day of walking or night of walking." she said about it. "The city apparently has a pretty easy route straight north out of its back end... but if you wanted to go by sea, it would take a few days because you'd have to go all the way around the landmass to get to the north," she finished as they'd stopped she went on to begin to make some minor adjustments to the hide of the beast so that she could carry the large fang on her back thus saving her arms a bit of unneeded strain. "That's what it is, your choice of course~" she said, looking towards the other fang. "Want me to fix up that one so you can carry it on your back too? It should make it easier~" she said having done her own she picked it up slipping straps onto her shoulders and allowing her to keep her general movement without too much strain, though even for a demigod this particular tooth was quite heavy.

    Athos awaited Deianira's answer, and while he did, she spoke with an eagle about the potential trip. Shortly after the eagle's release, the lass expressed her thoughts regarding both land travel and sea travel. Athos was not at all fond of the idea of traveling through a city, and frankly, he disagreed with the times Deianira claimed the trip by sea would take. He began walking toward the boat, pulling the straps holding his fang up to wear his on his back as well. Apparently, he did not need assistance to accomplish this either. "I'll just move the boat faster."
