My Life As A Salamander 34 Kracken Or Calimari

" What did it say?"

" I don't know." I replied. " But it made me feel offended. Can I kill it now or are we just going to stare at it?" Sam gave me a look of confusion and shock while the captain was already charging at it.

I opened my wings and took to the sky. The kracken swung a tentacle at me but missed by a mile with how fast I was moving. I opened my mouth as I got behind its head and let loose a bolt of lightning. It made contact and the entire thing went slightly rigid for a moment. It spun its head around and shot a jet of water at me. I barrel rolled out of the way feeling some of the water spray as it pa.s.sed.

I let heat rise in my throat and let a river of flame roar out of me. It hissed against the krackens wet hide. When the fire abated it was left almost completely unscathed. (Figures that a water beast wouldn't be afraid of fire. ) I thought. As I flew around Sam was chopping at a tentacle in front of her. This made the kracken more agitated seeing her blade was just bouncing off.

The tentacle swung around knocking Sam away and into the stairs that led to the inside of the ship. ( c.r.a.p!) I worried for her safety but there wasn't much I could do. It was either the ship sunk or I killed this thing. I focused my mind toward the task.

( Fire doesn't work but lightning has an effect.... that means if I hit it with more lightning that it should either run away or die.) I started focusing energy into my throat feeling a slight crackle.

I continued focusing till I could fell an almost steady hum in my throat. My muscles were starting to get weak. I finally landed on the mast of the ship in front of the kracken. Its front was right in front of my face. ( Point blank..... Alright. Fire in the hole!) I opened my mouth and the best thing I can use to describe what happened next was a buck shot blast of energy. Little b.a.l.l.s of energy shot from my mouth and into the kracken. Each exploded and sent electrical arcs across its body. It was such a strong shot that it almost blasted the things neck half off. The smell of cooked meat filled the air as a shriek filled our ears. It was like metal nails sc.r.a.ping on a chalkboard. One of the most painful shrieks I've ever heard. Until it stopped and the thing flopped to the deck.

" Is it dead?" I groaned out. I had fallen from the mast after I let off the blast and was just laying there winded. After a couple minutes The captain walked over and poked the beast. There wasn't a move. not even a twitch. " Its dead.... We Killed It!!!!! Hahahahahahah!!!!"

( Oh brother....You didn't do a thing while I dealt with it.) I thought. I dragged myself over to the cabin area and saw Sam laying there with a cut on her head. After checking her condition and seeing her unconscious I grabbed the collar of her shirt and dragged her to our quarters. Unfortunately I couldn't put her in the cot. But the floor was good enough. (Nothing will hurt her here.) I rested a little and headed back to he deck. What I found was startling.

The kracken was being hauled onto the boat with ropes. As it was being brought out of the water I realized what this thing really was. Originally I thought krackens would be like a huge Octopus. Turns out, they aren't. They are a sea dragon with dozens of limbs. They are like a centipede except all there limbs are tentacles allowing them to wrap around and strangle anything they come across. I noticed a large chunk of its flesh that was sitting of to the side.

I walked over and started to eat it. It was seared and tasted like calamari with a type of chicken texture. Ding!

I finished he chunk and felt very tired. I went back to the room and laid next to Sam. ( Maybe I'll be able to protect you better one day.) I let the darkness drown out the world. It was a sleep without dreaming. Pitch black without soul. It was like I was floating. Knock knockknock! I heard. (What?) I suddenly felt tapping on my head and was suddenly forced awake.

I was groggy and slightly out of it when I looked around to see who was tapping. It was Sam. " Ignis... Could you get off me? Your heavy." I rolled off her and onto my back. (Dunno how I ended up there.) I thought tiredly. " Sam sat up and looked at me. " I swear you grow like a weed." I shook myself a little and started moving. The room was smaller than I remember. I stood in front of the gla.s.s and realised I had grown quite a bit while I slept. I had even grown a set of gills that opened and closed occasionally. ( Wierd... but cool) I walked outside onto the deck. And heard a shout.

" Hey!! Where'd this monster come from!?" I turned my head to see a sailor with a long white beard charging at me with a harpoon. My tongue lashed out and knocked the harpoon away as I rolled my eyes and kept walking the deck. I felt something hit my side and turned to see a man hitting me with a spear.

" Why! Won't! It! Go! In!" He grunted as he kept hitting. He was hardly leaving a scratch on my scales. I whipped my tale around behind his legs and tripped him. " I'm not a monster you should mess with." I said calmly. I looked him up and down. "To be honest I don't think you're qualified to either." His body was frail for a sailor and he looked a little ragged.

" Johnathan's! Leave the lizard alone. He's considered a guest with his master!" I turned my head slightly to see the captain behind me.

" Back to repairing the crows nest with you." She hauled him up to his feet and shoved him back toward a pile of wood I hadn't noticed before. (I guess they like to repair on the road) I thought. I turned and saw him trying to climb a rope with a board. He was struggling quite a bit I looked over at the pile and got an idea. I was bigger than I was before. I'd wager about the size of a St Bernard.

I walked over to the mast and started to climbed. The man watched me warily from the ropes he was on. I got to where the crowsnest was being built. It was a square frame with hardly any wood planking on it.

( Bet I can speed this up.) I looked at the man and he stared at me. ( Might as well try to get on the crew's good side.) I shifted my head toward the wood pile and shot my tongue out. It stuck to the wood planks and retracted bringing a couple up at a time. It took Johnathan a couple minutes to come up. I was trying to place the planks and stick them in place with sticky spit. It was going ok..... I thought. Johnathan took a couple of boards and cut them to size so they fit better in the frame. For his small frame he was quick. After a couple minutes we had a pattern down. I would haul up the boards and he would install them after I put some sticky spit on it. It only took an hour and a half to rebuild the previously destroyed crowsnest.
