27 voices shrieked with rage, causing the walls around them to shudder with force. Dust and dirt rained down around the thrashing hydra, dotting her crimson scales with dull patches of black. Three massive tails whipped against the floor and stone walls. Thunderous booms resonated through the room and echoed up to the levels above. Again the Majestic hydra shrieked, her high voices seeming to shatter glass with their strength.

Silence! The commanding voice slammed into the female's mind. Immense power and pride swept through the darkened cavern and choked life from the air. Vienna had no need to physically enter the room when her voice alone could bring armies to their knees.

"She abandoned me!" The un-named Majestic shrieked again, her minor heads raising a slow wail that revibrated through the room and filled the hallways with its keening note.

You will be silent or you will die. Vienna hissed. There was no room for argument with her control. The Majestic silenced her voices but each head still wove a slithering dance around her many necks.

"She left me!" The central head hissed angrily, her black tongue flicking out over rows of sharp, white teeth. "That pathetic human left me!"

I can see your anger. The hypnotic, onyx tones of Vienna's voice soothed her child. She purred softly, promising revenge and blood shed with the tones of her mind. Humans are fools. There are very few strong enough to bind us. You will have your revenge, child. But first you must take a name.

The female hissed with pleasure, 24 of her great heads cawing ranciously. "I am Elantris." The name fell from her mouth like acid. Her blood burned with pride as the great Chaos mother laughed deeply.

Beautiful! You are the twister of truth. Vienna's deep, throaty voice cajouled in her mind. You will do well, Elantris. You have tasted hatred and now you have earned your revenge. The fool Diamis was the first to mate with dragons for the purpose of spreading our kin. She failed. You will not, understood?

"Of course, my Queen." Elantris lowered her heads respectfully, her voice a sinister growl.

Then go. Your destination is the Dragon Soul. The Chaos hydra's presence left the room in a single breath. Elantris was left in silence, grinning wickedly to herself. She would not fail where Diamis had. Her children would be the Queen's pride.

"They made a mistake when they let me get away!" Her 27 voices roared and shrieked a chorus of triumph. Rippling muscles pulsed beneath her dark scales as she swept powerfully towards the exit. Three tails drew lines along the sandy floor, marking her presence wherever she went. As the light of Tris'Hath touched her flame red eyes, Elantris let out one last, euphoric purr and prepared herself to be taken to the Dragon Soul. The pathetic humans would not forget her now. She was Elantris, twisted name from the draconic tongue meaning false guardian. They would never forget again.
