Perseus was racing against the clock; using his pegasus to try and get to you as quickly as possible with the head of Medusa in a sack that he was planning to use to turn the Kraken into stone.

You, the prince/princess of Argos was dangling hundreds of feet in the air with both wrists bound to a cliff with rope; just barely keeping your dangling form from falling off the cliff. You were being used as a sacrifice for the Kraken by some of your own people.

Soon, emerging from the water, a giant, four-armed humanoid with scales and a fishtail, resembling a hybrid of a humanoid and a sea creature came arising from the water. It took all of your will power not to scream right then and there as it made its way over. Soon enough, it was standing right in front of you as if considering if you were even a good enough sacrifice.

Just out of view you caught a glimpse of something... A horse with wings? Wait- no. A pegasus, and on it's back a man with a sack in his hand was making his way over.

Perseus.

Oh, thank the gods someone is coming to help you.
