But Chiron! We Are Too Old for School!

by Damon De La Cruz

A primordial legacy. Three Halfblood's are on a quest, except they don't know what exactly it is. The worst part? They have to go to school. And let's face it, the three are targets in highschool. Three kids all possibly not normal humans, all clearly too unstable to be left alone. "The Devil was beautiful. The favorite angel. The favorite. But he's in hell now."

12. Son of the Ocean Part II

The next day we went swimming again.

As I jumped into the water, there was a white flash at the bottom of the ocean.

I wasn't sure if I was intrigued or scared, but it seemed no one else noticed it.

So I swam.

And I swam.

And I swam deeper than I should have been able to.

And then I noticed.

It was getting warmer.

The deeper I went, the warmer it got.

As I went further down my unease upped.

But, I felt ready, like a primal instinct was egging me to move onwards.

Like I was meant to meet the mouth at the bottom.

But, if that's the mouth, what is the creature?

And how much of the mouth was I seeing?

The mouth I could see was easily fifty meters across, and the ends of it were obscured by rocks, so what if whatever unholy creature exists was under these rocks, and the mouth was way bigger?

Would it eat me?

For some reason, the thought of fighting this titanic biblical monster didn't scare me, it drove me.

Then, I noticed blood.

I was swimming in a mix of blood and water.

It seemed to dissipate into the water before reaching the surface, so I hadn't seen it before.

At first, I thought it was something the creature killed.

Then I noticed, the giant mouth was bleeding.

And I hadn't seen a mouth.

I saw an eye.

It opened.

It sounded like it was... crying?

This thing was huge, and something had wounded it, left it for dead.

How long had it been living in agony down here?

It made a loud noise, then closed its eyes.

I just swam back up.

I tried to tell my parents, but they just wrote it off as a child's imagination.

But I know what I saw.

Huge things live in the depths of the ocean.

And the one I saw was killed by something else.

Society dubbed it "The Bloop."

An underwater sound that if made by a living creature would be times bigger than any blue whale.

Thing is, that was a dying cry.

The decision of what The Bloop is changed every few years, until they decided on an icequake or something.

Kinda suspicious.

I wasn't sure if that would be the last sound it got to make, and when the one before that one was made.

I didn't know if it had finally died, or was just excited to see me.

What I do know is that it wasn't an icequake.

And what I do know, is that I'm different.

I just don't know how.
