Eli eyed
the large mouth that resembled a beak but with pointy fangs as big as a full
grown human male. It snapped open, ready
for its next meal.
Two thick
tentacles lashed outward. Before he
realized it, Eli and Celeste were caught.
The creature lifted them upward into the air and Eli’s stomach
threatened to give up his breakfast.
The smell
of rotten fish forced Eli’s gag reflex.
“What is this thing?” Luckily the
creature had him by the waist. His arms
were free to pull an arrow and aim it further up the monster’s tentacle.
Celeste
breathed inward, obviously trying to remain calm. She closed her eyes and replied, “It’s a
Kraken. They’re native to the
Atlantiatic Ocean. We must be in their
hunting grounds.”
“Well this
one picked the wrong prey,” Lyndi growled before she ripped the tentacle
holding her in two.
The beast
screamed in pain, its various legs lashed out.
The ones holding Eli and Celeste tightened, causing them both to moan.
Eli complained,
“Did you have to hurt it while the thing was holding us?”
