(As I walked across the swamp, I began to notice strange-looking dens all over the place.)

[player]: “These dens are ominous…definitely the work of a Hydra.”

(As I walked inside the Hydra lair, I could see her - she had dark green clothing that look like they’re made of shed scales. I could also see what looked like two head-like accessories on her shoulders.)

Female Hydra: “Hmm…another human wanders into my lair. What are you doing here, foolish human? You know better than to approach a Hydra mother!”

[player]: “Wait, you’re a mother?”

Female Hydra: “…I will be, soon.”

[player]: “What do you mean by that?”

(The Hydra just looks at me with a hint of anger)

Female Hydra: “…leave before I make you regret ever coming here.”

[player]: “I’m sorry for intruding into your lair. I won’t cause any trouble and I’ll leave immediately.”

(I quickly walked out of the Hydra’s lair, feeling relieved that I didn’t become her next meal. As I continued walking through the swamp, I couldn’t help but wonder about the Hydra and what she meant by being a mother soon. Were there eggs hidden somewhere in her lair? Or was she pregnant with little hydra babies? I shook my head, realizing it was none of my business and continued on my journey. But just before I could leave the swamp, I heard the Hydra call out to me - as if she wanted to talk to me.)
