The multiheaded dragon Hydra, enemy of will, is actually Faust but is challenged in war.
Hydra ascended from the bottomless pit and declared itself the supreme provocateur of the spirited will of the living universe. Hydra had multiple heads. One of its four heads was the diadem of wrath, breathing the fire of mercilessness. The second head was the diadem of faithlessness, breathing the fire of power. The third head was the diadem of vanity, breathing the fire of humiliation. The fourth and final head was the diadem of fear, breathing the fire of nakedness. Could no one in the heavens challenge such a dark presence?

Hydra flew over the Earth invisible and spied on the nature of and stared into the blind eyes of human civilization. It concluded that mankind was comprised of the essential duality between private ambition and public humiliation. Hydra was amused that such helpless souls would so freely engage in the willfulness of imagination corruption. The multiheaded dragon assessed the various dominions and chains of power and prestige among humans and saw that realms of profit and piracy were governed by extreme thoughts regarding attainable mystique.

Fortunately, there were actually two spirit beings from the heavens that could challenge the adversarial smirks of the dragon Hydra. These two beings were the supreme fairy defenders of human imagination, and their names were Centurion and Ciara. They're brother-and-sister raised as immortals and with the power of the mighty silver sword which renders them completely invincible to the potent and seductive charms of short term life. Centurion/Ciara sensed the presence of this mutant multiheaded dragon Hydra and immediately sensed the presence was a dark sign of the modern frailty of humanity.

Centurion/Ciara took on speedy fairy-wings and flew to the soaring Hydra with their two swords in hand. The two defenders realized they're the only beings in the known universe who'd sense and visibly perceive the presence of Hydra. Therefore, they crept up behind the flying dragon and whispered jointly in the ear of its third head, the diadem of vanity, "We challenge you in a vitality war!" Hydra immediately turned to gaze upon the two fairy defenders and realized it was now matched by the only possible challenger in the universe, as far as it could see. Hydra decided to reveal itself to Centurion/Ciara and told them it was actually the hellworld advocate known as Faust.

HYDRA/FAUST: You doubted my existence?
CENTURION/CIARA: We thought you're myth!
HYDRA/FAUST: I'm the adversary of confidence.
CENTURION/CIARA: We can see!
HYDRA/FAUST: With what do you challenge me?
CENTURION/CIARA: With honey and a bloody sword!
HYDRA/FAUST: I can't be defied by religion.
CENTURION/CIARA: You can be fought with certainty!

The two fairy defenders then proceeded to sweep and swoop and soar around Hydra/Faust, determined to kill the dragon and send its soul back to the pits of the abyss. Hydra was keen on accepting the willful challenge of the two warriors, knowing they're seeking to supremely defend the liberty of the metaphysical physique. Hydra returned the sword swooshes of Centurion/Ciara with furious fire breaths directed at the entire radial area in which the two fairies flew back and forth. Finally, Centurion managed to tie up the first, second, and fourth heads of the dragon with a silver chain, and then his fiery sister Ciara proceeded to decapitate its third head with her shining silver sword of doom.

CENTURION: We threw Faust back into the abyss, sister.
CIARA: It will live...now with only three heads or diadems!
CENTURION: Well, I guess all beasts return to the pits of fire.
CIARA: Hydra was a real force of reckoning, brother.
CENTURION: Why's that?
CIARA: Because my brother, it's a pure messenger of degradations.
CENTURION: What will the mythologists say about us, Ciara?
CIARA: They'll say we fought Faust in a war over...dehydration.
CENTURION: Very cool.
