M8 The great war

            Despair!  Rage!  Fear!  This is what I felt as I looked at the smoldering carcass of the beast I had slain.  I also saw something else. The bow I had made for Casandra.  I started to shake.  I started to change. My human legs started to bind together. I shook more and more violently.  My human jaw stretched three feet and my true form came out of my human disguise.
            My body was covered withe more scales than usual.  From the waste down I was a snake. From the waste up a demon. My normally green eyes glowed red with blood lust.  My fangs grew and dripped with poison. My scales thickened. I needed something. A moment later I recognized the need.

I needed to kill.

            I roared, a demonic, ancient sound. I opened a portal, not caring where it took me, as long as there was a war to fight in there. It took me to Greece, on a cliff overlooking the Battle of Thermopylae. I didn't need a sword,so I jumped directly into the fray. I fell through the air like a brick, landing on a soldier. I lashed out and connected with the nearest person. I pulled my self onto the soldier I had struck and hissed, face to face with the bearded man.
            "Hello,I don't sssuppose you know where I could find king Xerxes, do you?" I said in a dry, raspy voice sure to scare him silly. I might as well have been a zombie!
            "I-I cant tell you! If I tell you he'll-he'll hurt me!" the man whimpered.
            "I'm here, he isn't, and I'm worse, so start talking before I crush you!"
            The man pointed in the direction of a huge temple that I could have sworn wasn't there a second ago. Then I realized it was a palenki, not a palace.
            "Thanks." I said.
             But then a portal opened up right in front of me, and guess who stepped out?
