Chapter 10:

Chapter 10 The lighthouse

The Son of Apollo


We walked for 12 hours now following this stupid map “Are we there yet?” I asked Bill “No” , said Bill. Finally we stumbled across a cave that didn't show itself in the map but we camped in it anyway. We woke up at 5am to pack things and get ready to travel but all the sudden we heard footsteps noise and chattering noises. We listened they were stompers “Where is that stupid light house?” one of them asked “Far” another one replied “Why we have to follow this stupid map?” the first one said “Cause the boss gave it to us, '' another one answered. Then the conversations about maps were supid (I totally agreed with them) and stuff. When they passed, we looked at the map and Bill said “Our next stop is the same as them! The lighthouse” then we traveled until 6pm then we reached the town where the lighthouse was located. The town name was porkchop

(I know dumb right?) and we rested in a hotel. In the morning we rented a boat and sailed to the lighthouse. The lighthouse owner’s name was Hal. He let us stay here for a while. On the second night me and Bill were at the top of the lighthouse watching the sea. Then all of a sudden the sea began to rise and change to an angry sea then a Kraken rose from the sea “So that thing was the thing that stompers were after?” Bill asked with a terrified voice. “Look!” I said and pointed at a boat that was going to the Kraken; the boat was loaded with stompers. I ran down the lighthouse and picked up my bow. When I got back to the top of the lighthouse, stompers were fighting with the Kraken. I shot the bow to the stomper’s boat but one of them reflected my light arrow with his axe. Bill said “I’ll run and look at the situation” “But are you sure you’re fast enough to walk on water?” I asked but Bill jumped out of the balcony and ran down the side of the lighthouse reaching his limit instead of answering. Bill could actually run on water! He ran to the Kraken and tried to kick some stompers without getting caught. Then he ran back and said “The situation isn’t good. The Kraken lost 2 of its squid hands and I used all of my powers” then he blacked out. “So it’s me fighting with 20 stompers and a Kraken then” I said and shot 5 light arrows at a time, but they all got reflected with that same guy’s axe. Still I was shooting until I didn't have any strength left. Then Hal came to the rescue. He came with a giant cannon with a harpoon in it. He said “I used this baby to hunt down whales, now I’m using it to hunt Kraken!” “No!” I said then I explained everything about stompers and stuff to Hal. When he understood, I said “I have a plan, can you remove that harpoon?” “Okay” Hal said and removed it from the cannon then I explained the plan “I will go into that cannon and shoot myself to the Kraken then shoot stompers in the face” “How do you know you will land on the Kraken and how do you know the arrow will hit them? because they can reflect it” he said “If we don’t try then we’ll never know!” I said and put myself into the cannon. “Okay” Hal muttered he aimed and shot me at the Kraken. Hal’s accuracy was sharp. I landed on the Kraken’s head and when I got up everything stunted then I remembered we’re in a fight and started opening fire. I shot my arrows again and again but they couldn’t reflect it because the arrows had their full power. Last time I shot the arrow from 1 Km away but still stompers were tough. They took the impact and continued to kill the Kraken. This shooting loop continued for 10 whole minutes until 2 stompers couldn't handle my arrows and fainted. But they're 18 of them left. All of a sudden I heard a shooting sound and a TNT landed on stomper’s boat. It was Hal who shot the TNT from the cannon. This broke the stomper's boat and all of them sank because they were wearing armors which weighed them. 3 of them drowned but the other 15 stompers took off their armors fast enough and swam up to the surface, not knowing the Kraken was waiting for them. Then the Kraken slapped them back to the land; only 7 of them survived from the battle when they woke up they ran away.

The Kraken looked at me and cried out “Kraaaaaaaaaa” as a thank you. We waited for Hal to come with a boat. When he came, there’s another person with him, Bill! When I got into the boat the Kraken sank down into the sea. “You woke up!” I said to Bill “Yeah” he said noisily “Hal? Where did you get that TNT?” I asked. Hal laughed and said “I kept it for emergencies”. Then we returned to the town. We said goodbye to Hal and continued our journey to stop stompers from killing mythical beasts.
