"Perseus was a fool for tormenting the beast, he knew full well that it was their only means of reaching the divine. Who knows as to why he poked the beast to anger, in such a way."
"Perseus' foolishness had soon come back to bite him. As to travel to Mount Olympus one must be thrown by the Hydra, a simple means of travel but difficult since not many can understand the beast. Hydra's intelligence was not comparable to a human being but it was trained to understand certain jestures and to diffreciate between certain movements, Perseus prodding the beast was something he did out of boredom. Conditioning the creature to hate him and thus isolating Zeus and Hera in the Mount for their evil to reside only in the divine but things have taken a drastic turn--"
"It seems Perseus was holding out on Kurai--" "Dammit- I shouldn't have pooked the beast till it waxed hatred against me, an outsider requests to head up the mount to meet the Olympians and I'm not even sure if we'll be able to get through without it trying to eat either one of us. It definitely doesn't like me and it definitely won't adhere to the ritual now it's shaken, guess I'm taking a terrible gamble."
"Thought Perseus, he walked along the edge of the crater pacing closer and closer to the Hydra with Kurai following him."
"I'm hoping he can't tell that I am uneasy- either way it's a mystery until proven otherwise."
"He reassured himself, his shoulders tense and subtly jitters flickering along his frame."
"The men came upon the Hydra, shy 20 feet away from where it had currently laid. Perseus was extremely hesitant and his anxiety spiked ferociously as the moment of reckoning came." "Kurai, there may be a chance that the Hydra angrily lashes out against us. That is fine, all we need to do is subdue the beast without harming it, it doesn't need to be beaten into submission but calmed enough to understand a message."
"Perseus stabbed his spear into the ground, he cupped his hands and formed a cone around his mouth. He took a deep breathe in, swallowing his anxiety and hoping that this- that this may not be his last." "Μεγάλο Φίδι!"(Greek for, "Great Serpent/Big Snake!")
"The Hydra immediately awakened from it's rest, it's heads rising up and then turning about to see the source of the great noise. The surprise and awe in it's face quickly turned into anger and malice, a loud gutteral hissing emmanated from it's direction and slowly it turned about seeing Perseus, the pest that had tormented for days on end!"
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
"It screeched, upset and seeking revenge it charged for the two!"
Akira decided to allow Perseus to guide him, how the man would attempt to bring him up to Mt. Olympus he does not know but as long as the young man steps foot upon the home of the Olympians, his goal is almost effectively achieved. Here the first obstacles present itself as Perseus seems to struggle with doing some form of ritualistic motions due to the Hydra’s temperament. Perseus recommended Akira to subdue the hydra non-lethally, as it would seem that whatever he decided to do, the Hydra is a necessary component to it and its life is much needed. Akira had not much of a problem, it is not like he would understand why the need to ensure its life is protected as he does not know what Perseus is doing.
“That’s a hard ask for something that do not like us. Is knocking it out not an option?”
Akira asked Perseus, the answer in which Perseus would give would determine how the young man would approach Hydra. But for the time being, Akira immediately stood forward in between Perseus and Hydra, the latter in which charges towards them.
“Stop, we aren’t here to trouble you.”
Akira shouted at the Hydra from afar, his free hand placed palm facing forward gesturing a stop signal. He had hope that his words can get through the beast, at least hoping the beast’s intelligence allowed it to understand at least something from Akira, enough for it to think twice before attacking. However, should this fails and the Hydra continues to charge forward. Akira would speak once more, this time his tone completely changed.
“Now.”
Presumably Perseus would prefer not to knock Hydra out, Akira would finally use Haki to intimidate the beast before him, attempt to scare Hydra into submission instead, hoping to stop him before he would have to resort to more drastic measures.
Devil's Voice: Increases the user's Haoshoku Haki to knock out characters 70% of their level and intimidate anyone up to 80% of their level. Range for knocking out is 500% of level and can intimidate anyone on the same island.

"The creature stomped, charging at fast as it could as it's many heads curved and snaked with their jaws wide open. It hissed and roared and continued it's pursuit albeit Akira's gentle reassurance. It was a wild animal, one with a stature much greater than the two people that stood within it's nest, it was aware of this fact and thus acted in accordance to it, therefore it defied Akira. The distance between them quickly shortened and the situation began growing stiff!"

"King's disposition, a trade mark to those 'kings' hidden in the world. It signifies a powerful ambition and indominable might, Who knew that this stranger; in the eyes of Perseus, who knew that this stranger possessed such a power-- Kurai released his haki in an attempt to intimidate the beast, he situated himself betwixt the two parties and the ferocious haki struck and clamped the jaws of the rampaging beast. The pressure struck it like a calamity, it dug it's claws into the scarred earth, it's heads retratcing and jaws narrowing til slightly ajar as it aimed to stop."
"Astounding!"
"Perseus exclaimed in thought, his face completely conveying his shock as he was safeguarded by the stranger. Kurai was much-much more tense than he imagined."
I saw Dream do this a time since I had a main story going on in CP3, due to the requirements of the technique though it would require me to nerf it a bit for the sake of the story as it would knock out both Perseus and the Hydra. So I'll only be inflicting both of them with Intimidation
"He glamored at the Kurai's ability, and the creature continued to slide until it just barely reaches the party. Dirt flayed from it's claw--"
"I- W-what!?"
"Perseus could just barely speak, he too had been shaken to his core. 'Who was this man?' He went on to ponder, he wondered if the curse of Pandora's box was the true reason behind this man's curiousity. His reasoning to venture up to the divine, was his intent to save his father and mother or to damn them unto death."
"W-well, that doesn't matter-- ahem"
"Perseus stepped into the beasts view, he raised his arms to draw in it's attention. The beasts' heads fell upon Perseus, the object of it's hatred and malice. The Beast flared ever so subtly, prepared to strike but it remembered Kurai. It remembered his might and the way he had protected Perseus and so it was confused, it hissed at the young boy."
"Well, atleast it doesn't want to kill me anymore-"
"He thought, letting off an imaginary 'sigh' of relief. To reach the divine, it was as simple of commanding the Hydra to do so, though not by the words of the west."
"Μεγάλο φίδι, πήγαινε μας στον Δία!"(Great serpent, take us to Zeus!)
"And that was it, the turning point of this adventure. The beast hesitated, it's need for revenge being the only hinderance in this situation. Thanks to Kurai's haki the beast was much more compliant for the sake of it's own survival and so, by a lowering of it's head it signalled to the pair that it was time to go. To go and never return to it for it valued it's life. Perseus stepped unto the beast and awaited Kurai."
Once Kurai steps atop the beasts neck, it's going to throw both Perseus and Kurai up to Mount Olympus. The reason Perseus was important in reaching Olympus in the first place was due to the fact that he both; spoke greek and wasn't running from the Hydra.
Akira’s first attempt to stop the Hydra did not deter the creature’s wrath, forcing the young man to utilize Haki to do so, unleashing a wave of Haki that would intimidate the Hydra as the creature quickly slowed to a stop, its emotion displaying fear as its body reared whilst staying low as much as possible despite its long necks. With the Hydra now forced into submission for the time being, Perseus is able to continue with his plan, or so he would assume.
Perseus would walk past Akira, this time taking his approach with a lot more confidence as he would gesture to the Hydra, leading to the creature’s neck to fully lowered to the ground that would allow Perseus to step onto the creature’s neck. Though the beast seems to be cautioned greatly against Perseus, it would not matter to the Akira since the beast seemed to stay docile for the time being. Akira did not know what Perseus is planning to get them to the Olympians, since the man did not reveal his plan, but since Perseus steps atop Hydra’s neck, Akira can only follow suit.
With that, the young man quickly followed Perseus – stepping atop the neck of the mythological beast. Presumably, with Perseus’ command – the Hydra would eventually extend its necks with great speed, and launch the two man into the sky.
"Olympus seems a bit tamed, considering what was happening across the world now. Pandora's box had been opened and Olympians all across the Sea were succumbing to the corruption hidden inside. The first had been Zeus and then inevitably Hera, it had only been a few weeks since the divine had fallen from it's benevolence. The hydra once a noble guardian of the tower along with many serpents from the depths of the underworld, were slaughtered in Zeus' first rampage on the island. This lead to the remission of the Hydra's strong will and thus turning it into a beast fixated on it's own survival. Miraculously, Zeus returned to the divine instead of laying siege upon Olympus. Perseus didn't exactly prepare himself for when that time had come, however with the circumstances at hand; it was inevitable."
"Perseus and Kurai, given a boost from the multi-headed serpent climbed the divine and came upon Mount Olympus. Perseus was uneasy the whole way, he lamented in secret. His once alluring cheekiness and mischievous persona faded and became sour, he was anxious, figity and his face went pale, he was a "scaredy-cat". A looming sense of dread and malice engulfed the structure, with the bodies of men covering the roads and valleys, blood soaking the once clean white quartz and a thick fog of darkness obscuring their view. "
"The sky rumbled, as a storm brewed. Lightning loudly crackled as it struck the highest tower upon the mount, the lightning bolts were bright yellow-- Zeus was still active, for all this time."
"The two men landed upon the divine and were met with these horrid conditions. Perseus did not brace himself to face this, not now, not once again; however it was by Kurai's interest and request were they taken back to his past. The past he had run from,"
"I want to kill Zeus, my father, however I'm still attached to him. I ran from the Mount because I was not strong enough to destory him with my two hands, Orion and Thermis were killed on his very first rampage."
"He thought, panicked and stricken by the hands of fear."
"This outsider, he sought the Olympians yet completely ignored the citizens on Gaia. He came and his interest had a vague outline alongside my goals and so I took a chance. I foolishly returned not knowing that I am useless. The sheer evil presence makes my skin crawl, and all I can do is shudder at the very thought of having to bare Zeus' fury once more."
"He continued."
"Perseus was at the collective mercy of not just Zeus, but Kurai's shared interest in what he had to offer."
