The answer came sooner than she thought as the hind stopped in its tracks making Emilya follow in its example. "Okay I followed you, now what is it that you want?" Turning its head to look down at the girl it looked forward causing the pinkette to do the same.
The murky swamp laid out before the two couldn't be anything more than normal. The pungent odor in the air was rather repulsive, but Emilya continued to look, not willing to miss whatever the legendary beast wished to show her. As she was about to leave, not wanting to stay in the area any longer, the swamp's surface began to bubble before bursting in a spray of sludge revealing a vile green reptilian creature the size of an adult female elephant with eight heads roaring about as it thrashed around.
"A hydra!? You led me out here to see a hydra!? Why would-" She stopped as she noticed something was… off. The beast didn't seem to be roaring in rage but instead fear. The cause: a teenage girl with long green-hair was pulling on the thing's tail as it tried to use its two legs and drag itself away from her… the hydra was losing ground exponentially to the being less than a quarter of its size.
"Where do ya think you're going ya bastard! I told you what would happen if you didn't listen! Now pay the consequences!" With that the woman seemed to yank the tail upwards with the creature following close behind as it was swung right above her and slammed right in front of the hind and Magus. The beast looked up at the two with eight sets of pleading eyes before it was quickly flung off further into the swamp. "And that's what you get for trying to defy me you bastard!"
Cerynitis let out a large bellow which caused the woman to finally notice the two's presence. Blinking a little the woman began to wade her way through the swamp until she reached the dry ground where they stood. With her now closer Emilya could get a better look at the woman. Her pale skin went strangely well with her long green-hair and reptilian-like yellow-eyes. The clothes she was currently wearing seemed to consist of a long sleeve green top accompanied by a sleeveless leather jacket, a pair of black skinny jeans and tennis shoes.
The woman gave them a warm smile as she gave off the feeling of being an overall carefree person. "Cery-chan, my old friend! How have you been? You look good, now who's the girl?"
A bright flash of light occurred and as it died replacing the hind was a tanned woman with silvery-white-hair and two branched golden streaks in it. A silver shirt had encased her rather large bust that seemed to be slightly smaller than Akeno's own, a brown leather jacket was worn over the shirt. Along with a pair of denim tights and black combat boots the woman looked like she belonged in the woods, with her calming pools of molten gold.
"I've been fine Hydrae-san, and it seems that you've been keeping your title safe from the other hydras. As for the girl… well she seems to hold a great potential within her. Such a potential that I haven't seen since the heroes of old… especially since that man had passed that idiotic king's irrelevant trials."
The greenette cocked one of her eyebrows at the hind-turned-human before looking down at Emilya. "So, Cery-chan says that she sees the same potential as the greatest hero of Greece in ya." Hydrae began to walk circles around the small girl with a scrutinizing eye, until she stopped in front of her with a snake-like smile. "And I can say that she's right. Instead you're more or less his magical equivalent. I am actually confident in my assumption as most supernatural creatures could see his physical strength rolling off of him, Cery-chan and I can see your mana doing the same thing in literal waves."
"And since it's doing that," The Ceryneian Hind began. "The group you were with wouldn't have been able to find any familiars. So, please restrain that power of yours before it scares off all of the weaker familiars."
Emilya only looked at the two incredulously before looking into herself to find that she was indeed exuding an incredible amount of magical energy. Finding where the leak was coming from, which was basically her entire body, she brought it all back in and sealed it up. The woman smiled at the girl before realization sprung upon her face. "Wait, when you said that I have the potential of the greatest hero of Greece you can't possibly mean-"
"Heracles? Why yes we do mean him. And that's why we'd like to become your familiars." The silverette spoke, causing the greenette to glare at her friend.
"No. I know that you mean well Cerynitis, but I will not become anyone's familiar. Not after what happened to Veronica."
"Hydrae-san think about this, you can't keep yourself cooped up here in this swamp. I know what I'm trying to do may seem heartless but I'm doing it in the best interests of my friend." The compassion in the woman's voice made the other's eyes soften as she released a strangled sigh.
"My answer is still no… I can't simply move on after going through that experience. So if that's all you wanted to talk about then I suggest that you start running."
"Are you threatening me and the child Hydrae-san? Because if you are I won't be afraid to fight you."
"Hmph, we both know who's the stronger one when it comes to fighting Cery-chan. I just meant to start running before the hag finds you both." Emilya only looked at the two in confusion, their conversation having seemed to go from friendly to hostile. That would be until a pair of strong wingbeats could be heard overhead. Ceryinitis' eyes widened at the sound as she scowled.
"Crap it's her! Sorry Ojou-sama but we must run now!" With that she was picked up off of the ground and right before they took off the Magus saw Hydrae fall right back into the swamp. Then the Ceryneian Hind took off and within mere bounds they approached where the group of Devils were.
"Satooji-san! Get us out of here!" The silverette called out towards the group. The Gremory Devils looked at the woman running towards them in confusion, especially since she had the small Ma
gus held underneath one of her arms.
