She walked in trance state to the feet of the hydra lifting her hands up together as it coiled its tail around her wrist lifting her up, placing her down on it"s back.Then monster left with the girl sitting on its back heading in the same direction they previously were going.
Arkalat arrived at the camp slightly out of breath he had run over for more than thirty minutes, all the while he had to carry that pig on the makeshift carrier dropping it down once he saw the broken corpse of orcs and the dead foaming goblins that in all likeness had died to electrical discharge spells.
Furrowing his brow as he inspected the scene the girl was nowhere to be found and her traces led to the waterway.
He went to the boat thinking that the girl had gone seek the refuge of its barriers, when he realized it was empty he was left quite perplex did the hydra eat her to?
There was a split in half, orc body that was missing its upper half. It would be reasonable to think she would have fallen victim to that beast. But not even a hair or anything of the girl could be found it meant it had not eaten her but took her with him.
While there was only one person capable of controlling hydra"s in the region, Dravik alias Blood. A higher demon, he was well known in the abyss for being an unruly troublesome to deal with brother of the demon king. If it was him it would be more than troublesome, the gall that this guy had stealing his own prey from under his nose even if he was the king"s brother he would have to answer him…
Taking his boat after reloading it with their stuff he headed toward Astria, as this would be where they would meet up. He did not need to guess, he was pretty certain that this too much free time guy was the one that took his toy…

Speranza rode the hydra for about thirty minutes when they arrived at their destination the hypnotic snakehead had her get down from its body. Still, she walked like a soulless doll under the trance of the hypnosis. Turned into a doll she walked from the sore toward a mansion in the middle of the forest at the south of the nefarious town of Astria.
With the hydra"s speed, the distance of half a day worth of travel was done in half an hour.
A man with mid-length pale purple hair with red and blue bangs. Dressed in all black leather pants and jacket walked out to see what the cat had brought home. Harboured a languid look on his face going about life with extreme boredom.
"Well well look what the cat brought in." Seeing the girl with her head down not looking straight at the man while still under the effect of the control spell he placed his hand under her chin lifting her head up while her eyes remained empty without reactions as he moved her head to examine her profile. Smirking as he gazed down at the little doll lady. "Not bad little mouse." He snorted. "Pretty eyes, beautiful fire hair, a soft delicate skin, I see you gave yourself some trouble to find this one." He nonchalantly let go of her chin and with a snap of his finger, he woke the girl from her trance.
Of course, when Speranza woke from it she was petrified and lost looking at the man before she then looked around to see if the orcs and others were still there.
The panic that had flashed into her eyes for a brief moment slightly amused him. "They are gone." He said with slight amus.e.m.e.nt. "Zruruno brought you home." He said pointing the height headed snake hydra. "You should thank him."
Speranza looks at the hydra that was now puffing his chest with pride… She did not know if she should laugh or cry, because she was already safe. Well, more like she had a plan to defeat those orcs…
"Thank you for the help Zruzuro but would you kindly bring me back? See I wasn"t alone there…"
Thinking about the brutish elf, she did not miss him. Her bag, however, was one the boat.
"Hmm well, it"s already this late. How about we entertain you for the night allowing you to rest here, then we can meet up with your fellow traveller at a later time." While he spoke casually with a lazy tone, she could not argue this man gave off the same pressure of that tyrant of elf man. She could only obediently nod to him that dangerous aura she felt gave her an alarm. This guy she would be very bitter if she offended him...
"Than, I will trouble you for hospitality for tonight." She said in a meek voice. He leaned forward with a small smile languidly hanging up his lip. Through his bangs, she now noticed the man"s eyes red like deep blood pools… Sucking a cold breath in as she was afraid to get her own soul sucked into those all-seeing piercing breathtaking eyes.
"No trouble at all." He said placing his arm around her shoulder while guiding her inside, a sneer curling his lips, he found some interesting toy to momentary relieves his perpetual boredom. The house cat trailed behind them... Cruelly eyeing the prey.
