My name is Medusa.

Here I am with my knees on the earth. The only person strong enough to protect me is Gaia.

"Oh mother gaia" "I've come to you for help" "Grant me the power to exact revenge in my enemies and free and protect myself"

I wait for a few moments, panicked knowing that Hercules was drawing closer.

Just then a voice infiltrated my mind. "Dear maiden I've heard your plea and I will grant your wish"

The earth shook underneath me and I gasped as vines covered me, just as Hercules struck.

The vines shook, but held firm against the uncoming attacks. Meanwhile I was hyperventilating and the snakes on my head didn't help.

My head swam and I passed out shortly after.
