Mythical Creature Hippocampus Novels & Stories

It moved with an eerie fluidity that defied its massive size. Pelin gripped my arm, her breath shallow. “Tell me that’s not real,” she whispered. “It’s real,” I said, forcing myself to look. “And it’s not alone.” Capricorn, the sea goat, swam alongside it. Half-beast, half-fish, its spiraling horns cut through the water with terrifying grace. Its muscular upper body merged into a powerful, scaled tail, propelling it forward like a nightmare from the depths of the ocean.

They moved like beasts too; heads swinging low to get a better look at me while other members of the Court pushed past them. Kelpies weren't that bad really. The most they were known to do was give a human a good dunking if you were foolish enough to climb on their backs when they were in their horse forms. The Each-Uisge, which was another type of waterhorse, was far worse. If you had the misfortune of climbing on his back, you'd be fine as long as you stayed inland. Take the fairy anywhere near water though, and it would run straight for it where it would drown you and then tear you apart. Then it would eat you; everything but your liver, which it would leave behind. I guess Each-Uisge don

I nuzzled it and cooed at the bright yellow animal with hints of scales on its body. “It’s a hippocampi,” Poseidon spoke loudly behind us, making me jump. Luci gripped me tightly. Clearing his throat, Poseidon stepped away, scratching his head. “Sorry, it’s a hippocampi. Half horse, with a siren tail. It couldn’t be any fish,” he hurried his words. “It had to be strong to be able to push through its hooves because streamlining is near impossible for this animal.” Posideon turned his back and hurried away.

Aria astonishingly said. She is right. The monster that we need to defeat is a mythical creature called Lernean Hydra. I've heard that one before, but this is the first time that I encounter the beast. From what I know is that there are multiple ways to get to the underground and the Hydra is one of the guardians of one of the gates. It is a gigantic water snake-like monster with nine heads and one of which was immortal. It is around twenty-five meters long and thirteen meters tall. "Before anything else, I just to inform you that one of those heads is immortal and we just need to figure out which one is it to kill it," I explained to everybody.

A lapping splashing sound in the murky reservoir water nearby is the first warning something besides a few fish, amphibians, turtles and waterfowl are out there, but it’s nowhere near enough. “Fucking Christ,” I hiss through my teeth, watching as the hulking bulk of a black lobster-like leviathan with glowing red eyes and a gaping mouth full of multiple rows of teeth levers its way onto the shore, pulling itself forward with twisting flexible limbs like a starfish, or an octopus.

Behind the portal lurked a massive sea beast, lying in wait with its gaping maw, ready to devour them the moment they entered. Fortunately, Gideon had noticed in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. The sea beast, seemingly angered by its failed ambush, began to emerge. Under the eerie green light, its appearance was horrifyingly grotesque. This was a deep-sea ancient beast unlike anything ever seen. It was a creature from ancient times. It resembled a fish but had two front claws, each 30 feet long, a mouth full of sharp fangs, and a head covered in jagged spikes. It was both bizarre and terrifying.

I tell him through our mind connection that I love him before I nod and run off to go kick some ass. Zeus decided that every warrior compartment needs a magician, so I run towards a group of warriors standing in front of the palace. The drums get louder and louder. On the sides of the air bubble that holds the city, fish, and other sea creatures swim past us super-fast. It seems like they are running for something.

The creature’s roar shakes the hall. “Saint, what the fuck is a chimera?” I rack my brain, trying to remember. “Kas is the mythology expert, not me.” “Uh, I think it’s a lion, goat, snake monster?” He says hesitantly. “Marco, Marco, I need your help.” I look up at the screen, backing away from our door. Aphrodite is sitting on her throne. The sun is setting in the distance. Marco looks up at the monitor and back at me with wide eyes. “What’s our move, Alpha?”

Morris attempted to throw a crumpled cupcake paper cup from the ones we ate earlier, but it only got blown by the wind. "Another insult!" She yelled. "Sierpenti lives in the ocean. Like I said, he has a tail, fins, and gills that make him move faster than any other being in the water. Well, after all, he is a God." "So . . . He's a mermaid?" "What on Luminozenko is a mermaid?" We stared at one another for a good couple of minutes until she tried to throw another paper cupcake at me. Poor cupcake paper.

As she spoke the moons words. “Yes,” She spoke slowly. Her heart dropped as the newest chosen floated within her mind, her beast growling in displeasure at the prospect while her mind whirled in sympathy. Another life the Goddess would overrule. “A Conduit?” Leonidas questioned further. “A re-birth.” Leonidas stilled and her hand clenched his as their connection continued. A re-birth was never heard of in their lifetime, a divine gift the Goddess bestowed upon her greatest wolves, a curse for they were that it was bestowed upon.
