Trinity

"A FUCKING DRAGON!" I screamed the word at the now roading and screeching dragon that was standing before me. Hekate was now gone, in her place was the massive three-headed serpent-like dragon. What in the fucking hell was I supposed to do about this now?
Was this going to be turning into some fairy tale where I needed to fight this dragon? Yeah, I already knew that I needed to fight that damn thing, but that didn't mean that I was happy about it, or that I was looking forward to it. Nope, not at all.
Right now, I could feel my heart pounding about twelve miles a minute. It was going way too fast for its own good. And I didn't see it slowing down until this dragon was eliminated. There was just one major problem.
I didn't know how to kill a dragon. Especially a dragon that was impervious to my sword's ice magic. Well, the humanoid type of being that was the pre-dragon Hekate had been impervious to the ice that my sword used. I don't know for certain if the dragon version of her was immune to it as well. I guess time would tell.
"RRWWAARRRGGGHHH!" That sound that came from the dragon Hekate sounded like a cross between a roar and cry of pain or frustration. It was not just a roar, that was for sure. What it really was, I didn't know. But it was unsettling and nerve wracking.
"What do you want me to do now, Hekate? Do you think I am going to turn tail and run away? Do you think that I am going to let you win just because you turned into a big bad monster of a dragon? Well, that isn't going to happen. That isn't like me so you can just forget it!" I yelled loudly at the giant dragon lady, and I saw that she sneered at me. Her lips pulling back in anger as she had listened to what I had just said.
"You will do as I command you to." The words were longer and drawn out as she hissed them at me from the center of her three heads.
"I will destroy you." The left head hissed in a similar fashion.
"Prepare to die." The right head added in its hissed voice.
I noticed that all three heads spoke with Hekate's voice. It was all one voice, but it was different mouths on different heads that had spoken. That was the most surreal of it all. It literally sounded like nothing more than a speaker that was set up in multiple places and they were each playing their part of a recording at different times.
"I do not intend to die, Hekate. I will not let your scaley ass hurt me or my family." I slid myself into another fighting crouch, preparing myself to take on the dragon woman.
"Are you sure that it's scaley?" She hissed once again, drawing the words out to distort them so much that it was nearly impossible to understand them. But I got the gist of it this time. Especially when she turned to shake her giant dragon butt toward me. It was like she was telling me to kiss her ass or something. And that was not something that I was going to accept. I was not going to let this slide at all.
The moment that the dragon taunted me, I started to move. I ran to the side and started to come up beside the dragon. She wasn't looking at me when I started to run so she had temporarily lost sight of me.
Unfortunately, but the time that I was about to attack the three headed monstrosity, the dragon had spun to look at me and two of the three heads lunged at me. I saw that one of them was preparing to breath ice at me while the other was already frothing with what looked like sea water in its mouth. It was going to send a jet of water at me while the other tried to freeze me.
I needed to avoid those attacks, not knowing what just touching them would do to me. So, I leapt into the air and backflipped a few times. I needed to make sure that I wasn't hit by the thing's blast at all. And now that I had avoided it, I was at least as far back as I had been, maybe even further. I hadn't gained on the dragon at all. If anything, I lost ground on it.
"Dammit." I snarled the word under my breath as I tried to think of what to do next. I needed to make sure that I kept an eye on all three heads at once. I needed to make sure that I knew what it was doing at all times, no matter where it might be attacking me from.
As I thought about that, trying to watch all the heads at once, another attack was coming my way. The left and right heads were swinging wide toward me as the middle head reared back and prepared to attack me head on.
With quick thinking I ran to my right and kicked off from the wall. I figured that this head, the one with the water, would be a little less dangerous than the one with the ice, so I decided to try to get rid of it first. One less head would make things a lot easier on me when it came to destroying Hekate.
I held my sword, Frozen Kiss, in a two handed grip. The blade was held over my head and ready to be swung down when the time was right. I was slowly getting into position. Flying through the air until I was right in front of the monster dragon.
My sword was raised and I started to swing down with it. The moment that the blade of my sword made contact with the dragon's neck, I was directly about the thing. I quickly planted my feet on the thing's neck as I severed the foaming water head from the body.
I instantly felt a sense of relief and satisfaction. Knowing that this was going to help me out a lot. Knowing that I had just cut the first of the three heads from the body. And having heard the loud, sickening thwacking sound that came when the large dragon head hit the floor. All of that made me feel like I was invincible.
Fuck yeah! I had just cut a dragon head from its body. How many people in the world could say something like that? I am betting that not many of them. And the fact that I did it so effortlessly and easily, that made me feel even better. This wasn't going to be that hard at all. I was going to have this dragon bitch finished before too much longer.
I kicked off from the dragon's neck and flipped through the air until I landed on my feet in front of the beast. I was still in a fighting stance, crouching and ready to go.. I was not going to be taken by surprise at all.
