Icarus and his crew walked through the waterfall and lit some torches, then they heard the sound once again, suddenly a scream echoed through the cave as they went further in ,as they reached an opening they found half a dozen bodies laying there in a pool of blood, suddenly a creature bursts out of the darkness , half snake and half human , "it's Medusa don't look into her eyes or you will be turned to stone" said Icarus to his crew but it was to late as two of his crew groaned in agony as they looked into Medusa's glowing green eyes slowly turning into stone. Icarus and the rest of his crew raised their shields to avoid her deadly gaze and slowly moved into formation , medusa swung her tail and sent one of the men flying through the air and into the wall , she kept swinging her tail as the men surrounded her then Icarus backed away a little slowly, medusa swung her tail once more knocking some of his crew to the ground , Icarus twirled his sword in his hand and then threw it towards her just missing her head , medusa hissed loudly and charged at him with full speed then Icarus rolled out of the way swiftly just barely avoiding the strike. Icarus picked up his sword and jumped on Medusa's back, she tried to shake him off then suddenly his crew waved their torches at medusa, she hissed loudly and one of the men dropped his shield and caught her deadly gaze, he screamed in agony as he turned to stone then Icarus jumped down to the ground and threw his sword once again, the sword spun in mid air and headed straight towards medusa and went cleanly through her neck, Medusa's head separated from her body she was no longer a threat, suddenly they heard a man groaning, Icarus helped the man up to his feet, "thank you for your assistance, my name is Perseus" said the man as they walked out of the cave and headed to shore...to be continued
