Hey, readers! ~Sigh~ The next chapter will be the last of this story :'( But, you'll be happy to know (or not) that I've finally come up with the title of the next Terra story! It will be called …

Terra: Butterflies and Hurricanes

Chapter 25

The boat we used was a sailors boat. It kind of looked like a mini yacht. Except, it only had one room. It was white, blue, and green, and painted on the side was Poseidon.I little obvious, don't you think? Zack handed me and Oliver a sandwich, though Oliver's looked a little... messed up. I shook my head, grinning. We just rested for a while, when the sun started setting, we ate again, spaghetti.

"Anything else happen at Camp?" I asked, breaking the silence that's been going on for a while.

Zack sighed and scratched his head. "There was an attack five days after we left for the quest." He looked at Oliver, "Did you know about that?" He asked glaring.

I frowned, Oliver wasn't fazed, though. "They didn't trust me after the first attack, they didn't tell me many things. I didn't know about that attack."

"Then tell us what you do know." Zack seemed angry, though he was trying to contain it.

Oliver breathed out, "I was waiting until we got to Camp to say this, but it's important. I've been with them long enough for them to tell me a few important things, back when I was a... spy. Terra, remember the throne with the broken chains?" I nodded, he continued. "I wasn't sure at first, but then I recalled a conversation with, um, Juliet. It belonged to Perses. Juliet informed me that the Titans... they think the Olympians have had their time of rule, and they should back down or the Titans will use force. They're rising, and they've been rising for a while. Kronos was the first that actually got to solid form, even though it was for a little while. Now, more have more encouragement. They feel that if they come together, the Olympians will be begging for mercy at their feet."

Zack and I stared at Oliver. "This is horrible." I muttered, feeling a headache coming on.

"Who... Who are 'they'?" Zack asked, pacing.

"Hyperion, Menoetius, a few others." He responded.

I groaned when I realized something. Perses is Hecate's father. In other words, my grandfather. I put my head in my hands. We stayed quiet for a while, then Zack spoke up. "They want to overthrow the gods?" he asked, trying to clarify it. Oliver nodded mournfully.

"How we just" I started, but stopped when I noticed the water rippling. It was fully dark out now, and nothing else in the water was moving, except the boat. "Did you see that?" I asked, almost in a whisper.

"What?" Zack stood and looked in the direction I was looking.

Something moved out then back in. It was red or pink, and slimy-looking. "What was..." Oliver trailed off as he looked at the water curiously.

Suddenly, our boat was pushed several yards away. I grabbed the railing and breathed hard. Several tentacles jumped out of the water and attacked the boat. I screamed as one wrapped around my waist, but Oliver cut it off, a distant screech could be heard.

"I think... I think it's a Kraken." Zack said, unsure.

"What?" I screamed and avoided one of the tentacles. I took out my dagger and stabbed it. "I thought it was a legend! A myth!"

At this, Zack and Oliver just stopped and stared at me. Ohh, right. Gods, goddesses, anythings possible at this time. I sighed angrily and started fighting off the creature. The boat tipped over and I went sliding off, Zack grabbed me, but then I was pulled under. Something was around my legs pulling me down down down. I struggled, it it held me tight and my dagger was lost somewhere in the water. I opened my eyes, screamed, then quickly remember I was underwater and shut my mouth. The Kraken... it was like a giant squid/octopus! It stared at me as I panicked and struggled, but it squeezed tighter. Not only was this painful, running out of breath, but the tentacle felt disgusting!

Then someone grabbed my arm. I kicked, but that didn't work out too well. My lungs felt like they were going to burst. I opened my eyes, slightly, then saw a dark shadow attacking the creature. I was let go, but didn't have much energy so I just tried holding my breath as long as I could.

Then someone wrapped an arm around my waist and I felt myself floating upwards. One we reached the surface of the water and coughed violently and took several deep breaths. I wiped my face with my hands and blinked.

"Déjà vu." I said, laughing.

Oliver grinned and we climbed back onto the boat. "A little help?" Zack yelled.

"I don't have a weapon!" I responded, looking around frantically. Oliver tossed a sword towards me, I nodded at him and starting fight off the tentacles. One grabbed me, but I swiftly cut it off. I nearly barfed seeing it grow back slowly. "How do kill this thing?" I yelled avoiding one of the tentacles. The boat tilted again, but I held on. We almost toppled over, but then was dropped back in the water again

"We attack the main part." Zack said and grunted as he was slapped to the floor. I helped him up, th boat rocked unsteadily.

"The head." Oliver said and Zack nodded.

"Oh, no, back in the water again?" I groaned.

Zack rolled his eyes, "Come on."

We took deep breaths then dived in. It was dark, but we could see the Kraken's shadow. It spotted us then slipped it's tentacles back into the water and started attacking us. We swam out of the way quickly and went deeper in. Once we were close enough, we started fighting it.

It had one large disgusting eye. And it looked angry. The tentacles came at from all side, but we chopped them off as fast as they grew. Zack started swimming up, air, he said in my head. I nodded and started swimming up, but from the corner of my eye, I saw Oliver being pulled back in. He's going to run out of air. I swam as fast as I could to the surfaces, took a deep breath, and dived back in. I went in the direction Oliver was taken, he wasn't in sight. I swam to the sea creature and stabbed it. It shrieked and I was pushed back several feet. I swam back and realized that the things was able to eat Oliver.

He was unconscious. I inwardly groaned and fought to get Oliver back. I finally grabbed a hold of him, but was being pulled in as well. I shut my eyes and concentrated. Πάγωμa. As soon as I thought that, the water suddenly got cold. The Kraken screeched as ice kept along it's tentacles. It whacked me and Oliver away, but I realized when the ice fully absorbed it. Whoa, air. I need air. As quickly as I could I swam up, holding Oliver in one arm.

I took a deep breath once I got to the surface and paddled back to the messed up boat. I collapsed on it and pulled Oliver onto it. Zack swam to us. "I can handle the rest." Zack said and picked up a small, black bag. "Do something about him." Zack gestured to passed out Oliver and jumped back in the water with the bag.

"So, I'm not a big fan of the kiss of life, but I suppose it's necessary in this situation." I said, frowning.

I shut my eyes and breathed into him several times, weirdly, my heart was racing the whole time. Great. I jumped back as he suddenly turned to the side and coughed out water. He took a deep breath then looked up at me. Then he suddenly had a cocky smirk on his face.

"Not. A. Word." I growled and grabbed towel to dry most of myself.

He chuckled, "What? Kiss of life?" he said, poking me.

I smiled and shook my head and slapped way his arm. Zack appeared back on the boat. "We have to get away, now." He said and went to the front of it.

We started moving, slowly, the engine was a bit broken, but it still worked. The boat was a wreck. In a minute, something under the water exploded, sending a huge wave. The wave pushed us back about a hundred feet.

I looked at Zack. "Greek Fire." He said.

"Lovely." I responded.
