Justin couldn't sleep so he decided to take over for the night watch. He walked around on deck trying to decide whether or not to send his grandfather a message. On the one hand, if he did send his grandfather a message he would be able to have him keep an eye out and maybe even start a search of the waters for the Kraken! On the other hand, he had to tell his grandfather that he lost his cousin and nobody knew where she was! He knew no matter how he said it, it sounded bad! He knew, however, that he couldn't put it off any longer. He took a deep breath and summoned a communication bubble.

Triton sat on his throne, his face looked sunken and tired from worry. He'd hardly slept since all this began and he spent hours trying to figure out how to stop Morgana and the sorcerer. He hadn't heard from anyone in two days! Suddenly a communication bubble formed in front of him and he saw the face of his eldest grandson! "Grandfather, can you hear me? He asked. "Justin?" The king replied. "Where are you? What's going on?" "We are on a ship called the Blood rose headed for Tortuga." Justin said. "I have news; two days ago we were attacked by the Kraken." The king looked shocked! "The kraken? The Kraken was contained to the northern regions!" He exclaimed. "It attacked us two days ago while we sailed towards Caledonia." Justin continued. "We managed to escape but in the process Melody was thrown overboard by the monster! We are searching everywhere for her but thus far we have been unsuccessful." The king felt hopeless, things were going from bad to worse and there was nothing he could do about it! "Grandfather, I am so sorry! It's all my fault! I didn't protect her like I should have and because of it the kraken threw her overboard to who knows where!" Justin said ashamed. "Justin don't…. don't blame yourself." The king said sadly. "It's Morgana, she will pay. Keep searching for Melody, she has to be out there somewhere! I know she's not dead. Please find her!" "I will grandfather, Justin replied, I promise you!" "I trust you Justin, I know you will." The king said. "Please be careful!" Justin nodded. "We will." He replied. Suddenly the king gasped and seemed to be in pain. "Grandfather, Justin asked concerned, are you alright?" As he spoke the king sunk out of his chair. "Grandfather! Someone help him!!!" Justin yelled. He saw the guards rushing to help the king and heard one of them call for help just before the bubble popped. Justin just stood there with a horrified expression on his face.

Terence stood on the deck of the scurvy serpent, the last place he wanted to be. But Rogers agreed to help them reach the fortress and they needed his help. So Terence decided to try and make the best of it this trip. The sun was just beginning to rise. It wouldn't be long before someone discovered not only that the princess was missing, but also her friend, the pirates, and the ship. Terence shook his head as he thought of how easy it had been to sneak away, almost as if the way had been cleared for them! They rescued the pirates from the jail; they hurried out to the docks without being seen. The Serpent was anchored by one of the closest docks and no one was guarding it! So the crew hurried aboard and in the dead of night sailed away from Caledonia! Terence finally decided it was good luck. "Terence!" Leah called from the other side of the deck. "We have to make a plan!" Terence hurried over to help. "Okay, Leah said spreading out an old map she had borrowed from the palace library, if we follow this trade route southward we should reach the cliffs in about two weeks." "Great, Terence replied, but that's only the first part. We have to get into the fortress and find the power source, kill the witch and the sorcerer and free the slaves. All without being caught." "Well, Rogers said, that's quite a lofty goal!" "What choice do we have?" Leah said sadly. "We can't ask grandfather for help, he told us not to take matters into our own hands. Our only option is to do it ourselves." "How, Terence asked, we're talking about a near impenetrable fortress, with spells and enchantments all around it!" "Exactly, Leah replied, NEAR impenetrable and impenetrable are two different things! We've both gone in and come out alive, what's to say it can't be done again?" "If you want my opinion, Rogers said, I'd say we dump this whole idea and head for friendlier waters!" "You're not thinking of running away are you Rogers? Terence asked, because we made a deal!" "Don't worry; Rogers said annoyed, I keep my promises! I just want to make sure my ship is safe." Don't worry Captain, Leah said, we will try and keep your ship out of harm's way." "You only need to get us there; we will take care of everything else."

Melody yawned as she walked onto deck. Her hair was a mess and her dress was becoming rather uncomfortable! On top of all that she had to find some way to convince James to sail towards the fortress and help her defeat Morgana! Needless to say she was a little grumpy! She saw James leaning against the mast of the ship. He seemed restless and preoccupied. Melody wondered if this was a good time to talk to him about going to fight the witch. But before she could decide James noticed her and hurried over. "Good morning, he said as he walked towards her, how did you sleep?" "Very well, thank you." Melody replied. "And you?" "The same, James lied. So you're alright after yesterday, after the whole Kraken attack?" "Yes thank you, a little shaken up but I've dealt with this before." Melody replied. "I'm sure Morgana sent the Kraken, she's trying to get rid of me." "It's a considerable risk for me to continue passage on this ship. I know the risk and I will make sure I pay for any damages that the ship has accumulated during this trip. However I must ask you for a very big favor!" "Which is?" James asked. "I need you to change course and head for the fortress on the cliffs. Southward I believe. These attacks are only going to continue until I am dead or Morgana is, so I'm taking the fight to her! But I need your help." James was using every ounce of his power not to shout for joy. What luck! But he had to play his part very carefully, one slip up and he was ruined! "Melody doesn't that sound a little too dangerous?" He asked. "I appreciate the concern, but I'm not going home until this is done with!" Melody replied. "My family has been threatened by the sea witch one time too many and I am going to put an end to it!" "I'll help you Melody, but only if you're sure this is what you want to do." "It is, Melody replied smiling, thank you James!" James smiled and winked at her. Then he turned to the crew and began to bark out orders for his crew to turn the Serpent around and head for the cliffs. James used all his energy not to explode. That couldn't have gone better!
