Pegasus Vs. Chimera Page #4

---

That night I took everything I could

and hid it here.

The next morning they came to arrest me.

This is almost everything.

You need to get back to the forge.

We need a weapon to take down the Chimera.

So the rumors are true, you've seen it.

It's a beast unlike anything I have ever seen.

It has claws as sharp as blades

and a tail with the power of 100 soldiers.

-Can you kill it?

-We don't know.

How will you attack it?

By air, with the Pegasus.

Has it shown any vulnerabilities?

None that I can see.

How long will it take you to repair the forge?

A couple of hours to get the fire hot enough.

-Good.

-Remember,

we need something strong enough

to pierce its skin.

Wait!

-Where are you going?

-To kill Orthos.

We'll meet back at the forge.

Keep an eye out for the Chimera.

Queen Caria, at last.

What do you want, Orthos?

I want to see you admit defeat.

We are not defeated

until every last warrior is killed,

and neither you or your monster

have done that.

Why don't you know that you have lost?

I have destroyed your cities,

I burned your villages,

my monster is out hunting and killing

the remains ofyour people.

They will all die,

all of them.

Hiding in the woods between Tiryns

and the southern plains,

but I will spare your life,

and that ofyour daughter,

if she delivers the Pegasus.

That will never happen.

Why not?

Oh, Orthos, I laugh at your vanity.

You boast ofyour life,

but you have become the living dead.

And without the Pegasus,

you will wither and die like any ordinary man.

Take her to the dungeons.

My Lord, Orthos.

The princess and her warrior have used

the Pegasus to free the Tiryn prisoners.

-Where was this?

-Not far, 20 leagues.

Good.

Put out the word

that I have Queen Caria as prisoner,

and that her life is forfeit in 48 hours,

unless the princess surrenders.

That should bring the princess here.

And if she does not show up

within that time, with the horse,

behead Queen Caria.

We should stop here.

No, we should keep going.

We need to eat.

Start a fire. I'm going to

hunt us down something.

I won't be long.

Very well, Your Highness.

So what's our plan when we get there?

We fly in, we kill Orthos, and then we fly out.

-That simple?

-That simple.

The more complicated the plan,

the more it has chances to fail.

And what then?

Then the world will be rid of a tyrant,

once and for all.

No, what will you do?

Me? I will go back to being

an ordinary blacksmith.

You are anything but ordinary.

I'm just doing what needs to be done.

What I should have done a long time ago.

I'm scared, Belleros.

Scared? Of what?

Ever since my father's murder,

all I've wanted to do is kill Orthos.

I'm scared it's changed me.

What will I do if it happens?

-When it happens.

-What then?

Philony, what you do is not who you are.

You're no more a killer than I am.

Belleros, you are a true warrior.

And a very tired one.

So let's go to sleep.

Come on. Come on.

Good girl.

It's all right.

You!

Search for the girl!

I didn't need a magic horse to find you.

You...

You're the man who killed my father.

I'm sure I took great pleasure in it.

Orthos would like to meet you, and l

will take great pleasure in killing you as well.

-Any luck?

-None.

Keep searching.

Go to the palace and tell the Emperor that

the great warrior, Belleros,

is now taken prisoner.

And that the Pegasus now belongs to us.

Take him.

So you left the girl behind.

You ordered us to bring you

the horse at any cost.

I sent a soldier to track her down,

but she can't have traveled far.

She was within your grasp.

If you'd have been a little clever,

you'd have captured them all.

It's just a matter of time.

Like your reward.

Are you going back on your word?

When you keep your end of the bargain,

I'll keep mine, not before.

Get away from him.

The man that wants to kill me.

No.

The man who will kill you.

Let's get him to his feet.

You've completely misjudged me.

I'm a very forgiving man.

I'm going to let you live. Long enough

to see me drain the Pegasus complete.

You fool!

If you kill the horse,

we all die and the world ends.

You can't be immortal

in a world that no longer exists.

Who told you that? Mayda?

She also said the horse would kill me

and my creature.

She was wrong. Take him away.

Immortality awaits.

It'll have to wait a little longer, Orthos.

You'll not deny me my reward any longer.

Zo!

What have they done to you?

Don't try to talk.

The guards didn't find it.

They didn't look hard enough.

Zo! Zo!

Zo! Zo!

You have done very well, Lord Actae,

and you will be rewarded.

I want my reward now.

Yes, well, we'll talk about that after

we have finished with Tiryns.

I delivered the queen, the princess is dead,

her warrior is taken captive,

Tiryns is now nothing more than a few

soldiers that need to be mopped up.

I think that we should talk now.

Don't take that tone with me.

I beheaded a king once.

Do you think that makes me

more powerful than a king?

You wouldn't dare.

Did you think I'd just hand you immortality?

You forget.

I control the Chimera.

You kill me and the monster runs loose.

You'll never have a moment without fear.

When I summoned the Chimera,

it accepted your blood as an offering.

It's your blood that controls the Chimera.

But it doesn't have to be

flowing in your veins.

Bind him!

Did you think me so simple as to

create something I couldn't control?

Belleros, you're alive!

Philony!

-Are you all right?

-I'm fine, I'm fine.

They told me you were dead.

I saw them take you.

I thought it best to fall back and

wait for a better moment to attack.

Here, you dropped this.

We need to go back for the Pegasus.

Orthos intends to drink his blood.

He will surely kill the horse. Come on.

It's ironic, don't you think?

You wanted the Pegasus' blood so badly.

Now it will be mine.

And your throne will be mine.

You have any last words?

Yes.

Stop him.

You know, it's almost a shame

that you're gonna have to die here,

and I won't get a chance to torture you.

You can't take all of us, Orthos.

You're right. Luckily I won't have to.

Kill them all.

Come, come, come.

Something I need from you. Come.

That way.

Try to find the trail.

Belleros, look. Fresh hoof tracks.

Stay right where you are.

Let me pass.

Where is the Pegasus?

It's Orthos and the creature's problem now.

You can follow him to your deaths if you like.

You!

You killed my father.

I was just following orders.

Orthos is the one you want.

I'm so glad the Chimera didn't rob me

of the pleasure of killing you.

It can't kill me, I created it.

Then I will have no trouble.

Go after the Pegasus.

I've waited a long time for this.

For both our fathers.

You're mine.

Come back!

This is for my father.

Hold still.

Orthos!

You know, it's strange,

but I feel very, very different.

What have you done?

I'm becoming the greatest man in history.

Not if I can help it.

We're all here. I love that we're all together!
