## Dota 2 - ??? - Part 1

Once, there was a great monster. Her legs were those of a lion, her back that of a dragon, and her tail was a five-headed snake. She had three heads, one that of a hydra, fangs dripping with venom, one that of a hippopotamus, strong enough to shatter steel and tear down mountains, and one that of a deer, its eyes filled with such impossible majesty that those who met them were struck down and died at the spot. Many brave heroes heard of the monster, and set out to destroy her, but one by one, they were destroyed, their swords shattering upon her sorcerous scales and their bodies rent asunder by her threefold jaws.

Then, one day, a simple girl came before her, soft of step and with hair like kelp. “Strike me down if you wish, beast, but know then you killed an innocent, one who did not come for war.” There came a great rumble from above, and the beast lowered her three heads to speak with the girl. “I hear you speak of innocence, but I smell divinity on you, and the immortal are rarely innocent, little goddess. Make your claim, but know that if I am displeased I will devour you, and immortality will be no comfort in my belly.” So speaking, the monster passed over the girl who was a goddess, blocking the exit to her lair and encasing it in darkness.
