Ooh. Hydra.

Have you read Artix's post in the design notes yet? If you haven't, click the link at the sidebar to the left. You'll there Artix's rendition of Heracles's confrontation of the Larnaean Hydra, which probably has something to do with this weekend's release? Anyway, in Greek mythology, which I am also an avid fan and enthusiast of, the Hydra is of the most virulent and most dangerous of predators. And as fate would have it, Heracles (AKA Hercules) was tasked to slay the 9-headed monstrosity. But as he began with the slaying, he found that each time he cut off a head, two more would grow back. He had to call on his nephew to help him kill the beast. It would seem that the Hydra was about to kick the bucket. Ah, but it had one immortal head. So, using brute force, Heracles tucked the damned beast under a rock. And he went through all that trouble, too, considering he could have just done that in the first place. But wait, Hera (his goddess mother and the one who bequeathed him with the Twelve Labors, the reason for which is to atone for going berzerker on his wife LOL) found out about his nephew, and did not count that perilous journey as one of the original ten labors she'd set for him.

In DragonFable, fighting the Hydra was part of the intro storyline. Oh, how I wished to have entered the Hydra Cave and slain the 9-headed Hydra; as, for the players who haven't purchased a Dragon Amulet, we're limited to fighting the easily ownable 3-headed Hydra. Let's hope that this weekend's release isn't that of disappointing proportions as Dragon Fable's with that of the Hydra Cave.

I'm nearing a total of 900 views now. Thanks for all the support, everyone ^_^ Remember to click on my dragon egg, it's to the left under all the stuff I put at the left sidebar.

EDIT: Never mind 900, we're nearing 1000! LOL
