Hercules was already on his second labor that he had to complete, and he brought you, his nephew, along to light the way. He just had to find the hydra and slay it. That sounds pretty easy, right?

You held a torch in your hand as Hercules walked in front of you. But soon, the head of the hydra appeared out of the swampy water the two of you were walking in. Hercules cut down the head easily and turned to you.

"See, my nephew, what did I tell-" He paused when he realized that the hydra started to reemerge from the waters. "...you." *He finished as the both of you watched the hydra get up again, but not with just one head, but two.

He kept cutting off the head, but each time, only more appeared on the beast. Two heads... and then four... and then six... you lost count after a while.

It seemed as if they just wouldn't stop coming no matter how much they lost, and that wasn't helping Hercules at all. He just kept cutting off the heads, only to find more.

However, it didn't take you too long to realize something... The torch you were holding accidentally burned one of the stumps of where one of the hydra's heads was. Expecting for another to appear, you braced for impact.. But instead, nothing happened, the head didn't grow back.

Then, it clicked.. Fire. Fire stops the heads from growing back; all you have to do is inform Hercules about this and you should be fine, right?
