KHfan22: Welcome again to a new story! I do hope this story get high reviews. I'll repeat myself again, I am using old characters from one of my stories but who they will be will be a secret until later chapters. Please bear with me for the first several chapters, for it will be painfully slow (if you call it slow) and short. I'm torturing myself as well. I want to get a move on as I type this haha. I would like to thank Sayonara Yasashii Akumu for alerting this story so soon! Thank you! Well then... Enough of my chitter chatter! Enjoy!

Chapter 1 – The Eagle
An eagle soared high over the seas watching over a ship. It flapped its wings and began its decent. It gave a sharp cry as it watched the heads turn upwards. The bird snatched a hat from the captain.
"That blasted bird!" The bearded captain roared. "After it!" He snapped at his crew and watched as the ship burst into life.
The eagle gave a smirk as it knew that pirate captains love to keep their hats as a symbol of their power. It gave strong flaps of its wings and dodged a few bullets in the air. It spotted the magical barrier and flew through it.
The ship slowly passed the barrier and gasped as the scene around them changed. What once was an empty sea was now a sea with land left, right, front, and back. The blue skies turned orange. The crew knew that they had cross the magical barrier between their world and the Other World.
The eagle turned around and dropped the hat onto the captain's head. It landed on a young boy's shoulder digging its talon's lightly into his shirt. The eagle looked at him in the eye.
The boy was wearing a simple dirty white shirt with brown pants. He had spiked blonde hair and blue eyes that stared into the eagle's eyes with surprise. He saw a small circle in the eagle's eye and the circle was encrypted with runes and lines that were too small for him to observe.
Abandon ship now, child. A female voice spoke in his head snapping him out of his trance.
The eagle flew away and the boy heard the ship begin to creak. He gasped as the deck under his feet began to tilt over and yelled at his fell crew mates that something was attacking the ship.
The crew did not listen to him and kept on gawking at the new land around him. It was as if they couldn't hear him and were forever trapped in a trance.
The boy ran to the railing and saw a shadow in the water and large tentacles creeping up the ship. His heart began to pound hard and his mind was racing. If he stayed he would die. Should he follow the voice's orders or stay bound to the ship? He looked up after hearing an eagle's cry. The eagle was circling the ship watching him. The boy sighed and turned to the captain. "I'm sorry." He said.
He ran down into the ship and stumbled as the ship began to tilt heavily onto her starboard side. He dodged all the toppling objects and caught sight of a small green painted box. He dashed for it and caught it before it could collide with the wall. He made a beeline for the stairs and once he got onto the deck he gasped as the still dazed crew was being swallowed up by a giant octopus-like creature.
The ship is being attacked by the Kraken!
He fought gravity as he grabbed onto the railing above him and looked down to see the captain fall down the throat of the monster. He sighed and pulled himself over the railing. He was now on the side of the ship as the ship was now flipped in a ninety degree angle. He ran for the bottom of the ship and avoiding a tentacle he jumped holding the box tightly under his arm. He expected the water to hit him but he felt large talons grab onto his shirt and pull him into the air. He opened his eyes, closed for the impact of sea water, and looked up to see the eagle now enlarged carrying him.
It ascended with great strength then it released him.
The boy yelled as he began to fall. He looked down to see the ocean coming towards him, and the ship and kraken already gone. There was a blur of brown and he hit the air in his lungs escape as he hit something soft and feathery. He observed that the eagle had caught him and was now flying east. The boy, exhausted from the life threatening events, collapsed on the eagle's back.
