The Gorgon Slayer

Her eyes don´t meet the penetrating gaze of the beast for one second. She can hear the snakelike creature move, slithering around on the dry leaves. Years of training and preparation have taught her exactly how to interpret every sound and movement her opponent makes without having to look at her. Euryale can hear the hissing of the snakes, but she is not afraid. Adrenaline is pumping through her veins; this is the chance she had been waiting for for so long. An epic fight to prove herself worthy as a warrior: a true slayer of monsters. Gorgons are vivious creatures with a head full of snakes and a heart full of poison. Her hissing words are beckoning Euryale, trying to make her gaze at the unspeakable, but instead of listening to the deceiver, she graps her greatsword tight. The creature must be right behind her and with a smooth movement and a quick swing she turns around, merely registering the body in her peripheral vision and striking, fast like a serpent herself. A bloodcurling scream tears through the air and as the sound of a lifeless body collapsing on the ground gets to her, Euryale finally manages to look at her oponent. There she lies, the Gorgon, defeated by her very own hand and a testament of this warrior´s strength. Slayer of the Snakes, that will be her title from now on and Euryale has fashioned her weapons in honour of this surname. Hey guys, Elessar here with a new look! This time I wanted to take a try at something more ancient and Roman, but adding my own twist to it. The idea of making a Gorgon or something related was stuck in my head for so long and with the Dragonscale Epaulets coming to the game I got just the right starting point! As the Zodiac Greatsword fits the snake theme perfectly, I arranged my dye scheme around this weapon. With the other weapons I tried to find a balance between snake inspired and ancient looking weapons. Most of the armour parts are also to resemble an ancient armour with maybe a little fantastical element to it. The Zodiac weapons are really one of my favourite sets and I hope I prove myself worthy to the ancient source material. I wanted to include the Mist Scrim at first as a nod to her fighting blind, but sadly that thing bugs through pretty much everything, so I hope you still dig the overall idea Enjoy my warrior queen ^^
