The Beach

[kraken_released]

The water began to churn as a giant four-armed creature rose from the depths and swam toward the island. The Kraken had slipped his chains and was looking for a princess to eat. Surely there had to be one chained to the rocks. There was always a princess chained to the rocks

Jack was no princess, just a guy who had a history of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Like now. Just a guy, taking a jog down the beach admiring the scenery and the...

...giant sea monster. Right. Uh oh.

The Kraken barely noticed Jack. No princess, no nomming. Sad.

Well, if the Kraken was going to be that way about it, he would just leave. Quickly. Running, actually.

"Here we go again." Percy sighed, and uncapped Riptide. The celestial bronze sword sprang to full size instantly.

The school administrators would probably see this as his fault somehow.

Oooh, a hero! Heroes were almost as good as princesses. The Kraken did his best "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR" and moved toward Percy.

Where was Blackjack when you needed him? He had a feeling invoking his father's name wouldn't earn him any points with this thing.

Percy charged, hurrying towards the water. He had a plan.

The Kraken had a plan, too. It was called "Eat the Hero." Princesses were much much tastier, but eating Heroes was the only way to make them stop trying to stab him with sharp pointy things. The Kraken was not a pincushion, darn it!
