The Cerberus. Chap2.

While Aphrodite struggled furiously with the vines, Tango was getting closer. She could feel the hot breath on her ankles as she crawled through the dangling vines. Suddenly, Aphrodite realised that the giant Cerberus had already grappled its teeth on her leg.

 She was getting ready to feel immense pain as she was being dragged back through the nest of vines, when suddenly, she landed on hard ground. Tango barked in delight as she licked her. Suddenly, Aphrodite heard a low growl….

A new pair of amber eyes appeared, and Aphrodite was almost in shock at the sight of the newcomer. A hydra. Tango rushed past Aphrodite and swiped her claws at the hydra. As Aphrodite watched the fight break loose, Tango suddenly lost her footing and fell from the nest of vines. She had landed on her back and was panting heavily. The hydra was about to latch its teeth onto her, when a torch of fire was shoved in the way of it. The fear of fire was enough to make Tango get up and move back to Aphrodite’s side.

 The fire reflected in the hydra’s eyes and it stepped back towards the ravine. But as it took another step, Aphrodite heard a loud yowl, and then a splash. It had fallen. As she thanked the torch holder, 

Tango had decided to start hunting a nearby deer. She made the catch and the two walked back to the forest by the village.
