CHAPTER 7

When I got to the big house, I found that Chiron was already waiting for me. So was someone else. Albert.

I wondered why Albert would be there, but instead of asking why he was there, I looked at Chiron and said, "You wanted to see me?"

"Yes."

I waited a moment and when he didn't say anything I asked, "Why?"

Chiron still didn't say anything for a few minutes but then, "There have been some... well, bad things happening. Monsters are reforming."

"Don't they always?" I was starting to get a little impatient.

"Yes, but I'm not talking about regular monsters. These monsters that haven't reformed since the Titan war. One of them I'm talking about is a sea monster."

This piqued my interest, "Which sea monster is it?"

There was a pause then, "The Kraken."

The room filled with silence. The Kraken? I'd read about it before. It was a gigantic octopus, bigger than most houses and deadly to ships and their crews.

"And you're telling me because...?"

"Because you're going to kill it."

"I have to admit; it took me by surprise and blurted out, "Why do I have to do it? Why not Myles, or someone else?"

"I can't," Myles said as if that was supposed to explain everything.

"Because of what reason exactly?" I asked angrily.

"I can't breathe under water but you can." He replied quietly.

For what seemed like the millionth time today, I was surprised but I also felt guilty. I had just assumed that Myles could do what I could. It never occurred to me that I could do things he couldn't. Chiron had said, about a year ago, when I got my ruler, that we were both extremely powerful. So why couldn't he breathe under water?

"I-I'm sorry Myles," I said feeling like a complete idiot.

Myles shook his head, "It's not your fault.'

"But, Chiron said you were extremely powerful," I said quietly.

"I can do a lot of things Beckah and yes, I guess I'm 'powerful'. I can cause an earthquake, summon a hurricane, be healed by water, walk on it but I can't breathe under water." Myles explained bitterly.

The went silent for a moment before Chiron said, "Who ever fights the Kraken has to be able to breathe under water, should they accidently get knocked into the sea."

I nodded, "But how am I going to kill it? It's not like I can just stab it through its heart. It's far too large for that."

Chiron and Myles exchanged another look. This was becoming rather annoying. Myles looked at me and said softly, "There is another way."

I waved my hands around and said, "Mind sharing?"

Chiron took a deep breath and said, "Medusa. You'll need Medusa for this or at the very least, her head."

Realization washed over me. Medusa could turn things to stone with something as simple as a look into her eyes. If we couldn't kill the Kraken with regular demigod weapons, why not use another monster to bring another down?

"So, all I need to do, is find Medusa, kill her, take her head, find the Kraken and turn it to stone by using Medusa's head before it can hurt anymore people?"

Myles nodded and said, "You won't be going alone. Albert and I are going with you."

"I don't need protection Myles," I said coldly. I hated it when people always assume that because you're only 12 or 13 means that you have to be protected from everything. Well, newsflash! I've seen and done things that they can't even imagine!

"I'm not saying that you do. What I am saying is that, should you, you know... not be able to do it, you'll have some back up."

By 'not be able to do it' I knew he meant 'if you're dead' and that seemed to be what fate had in store for me with every growing second. Kill a giant sea monster? Sure, why not? Might get killed doing it? All in a day's work, right?

I looked up at Chiron, Myles and Albert. I nodded and said, "I'll do it. There's only one thing I need to know.'

"What's that?" Albert asked.

I smiled at him and said, "Where Medusa's hiding."

Hope you enjoyed it!
