The Beasts of Darkness
A Prayer for All Who Fear Them

How could I not choose to slay the Beasts of Darkness when I was asked to What good is it when we cannot take away time and erase its mark? I am the one who is asked to give back as much as can be given.
The nine-headed menace is no longer a myth but an entity — a deity. I decided to raise a prayer for the Gods when I was just seven. Not a godly soul but a holy soul — to ensure we do not show weakness. To find the strength to beat back this force is something I have trained for since birth, and three years from now, I will have my chance to prove it to The Gods. To beat back this force, I must be in complete control of every aspect of my mind and body. The many heads at once, tied to one head, tied to another…
The beast, they are a beast to be feared. They grow unchecked, eating the land and destroying all that surrounds them, leaving nothing but destruction in their path. Some are small, some are large; some don’t even realize that there is one. The idea of the beasts is no longer a myth, but an entity is what scares us most. It’s something so dark that it doesn’t seem real to us anymore because it is unreal for the most part.
One day this dream will end, and when it does, many of us can relate and say, “I felt like giving up at one point.”

The second labor of Hercules. The Lernean Hydra bites. The Hydra’s nine heads spurts venom, though Hercules is hardy. To kill the beast he drips hot lead down its throat. Hydra vomited smoke and flame before it died. Hercules chopped off each head and buried them under rocks, but grew tired of the battle after many hours.
The Lernaean Hydra was a monster with many heads related to Typhon and Echidna. The creature would regrow two heads every time it lost one. It had breath so deadly that even its scent could kill a man. Hercules, a hero in Greek mythology, killed the hydra by burning the neck with his sword and fire.
