Odysseus and his men had surrounded the creature , blood dripping from its dagger like claws and razor sharp fangs the creature turned around and let out an almost ear shattering screech sound and then swung it's large reptilian tail towards Odyssey's men knocking some of them down into the dirt and leaves. Odysseus slowly moved around between the shadows of the trees as he maintained eye contact with the creature , it's orange eyes glowing in the low light and it's forked tongue dripping with poison , "it's bite is poisonous , don't let it touch you" said Odysseus to his men , a few crewmen threw their spears at the creature but barely even scratched it's scaly skin.
While his crew distracted the creature Odysseus moved in closer then suddenly the creature swiftly turned around and lunged at him , Odysseus jumped out of the way but the creature kept lunging towards him fast, Odysseus rolled out of the way again and again then suddenly a red light appeared in front of him. "On your feet beloved Odysseus, I'll keep you safe" said Athena as she shielded him from the creature , her eyes glowing as the creature attacked the shield of light, Odysseus quickly got back up onto his feet and grasped his sword firmly and held his shield steady , the red shield vanished and then Odysseus and his men all charged forwards towards the creature and attacked it.
The creature lunged to the side and bit one of the men filling his veins with poison, the man fell to the ground his body shaking as he foamed at the mouth and died , Odysseus kept his nerve and thrust his sword through the creatures soft underbelly , the creature screeched in pain then swung it's razor sharp claws at Odysseus, Odysseus raised his shield and blocked the attack as his crew jumped onto the creature and tried to hold it down, the creature now pinned down on the ground as Odysseus walked up to it , suddenly the creature broke free sending the crewmen through the air then down into the dirt.
The creature lunged towards Odysseus again, Odysseus swiftly dodged the attack and swung his sword and cut the creatures head off from its shoulders, green blood spurted out of the creatures headless body then the body fell into the ground as the severed head rolled into the bushes , "well done beloved Odysseus" said Athena as he and his remaining men regrouped, Athena, Odysseus and his crew walked onwards a little then decided to set up camp at the temple of Demeter form the night, Athena, Odysseus and his men sat by the campfire drinking water and eating their rations as the sun set and the stars came out and the moonlight glowed above them.
