Zach was far from sure about his current actions. Walking toward the Hydra was like walking into the jaws of death, after all. But what was he supposed to do, walk in the other direction?
The rest of the Hydra-killing party was taking their sweet time leaving the Labyrinth. There was an army and citizens praying for the Hydra not to kill them. There was an Empire ready for the Hydra to destroy.
Zach had seen the intelligence in the Hydra's eyes. There was a chance that it just wanted out and wasn't interested in destruction.
But that was before it was attacked, lost a head, and had its wings torn to shreds by Oria and Yan.
As much as he saw the intelligence in the Hydra's eyes, he also felt its need for destruction and the malice it held deep in its heart.
