The morning breeze fluttered as light waves crashed in the hull of the boat, I awoke with a start. I had no clue where I was, or if I was heading in the right direction. In the long distance, was something that looked like an island, maybe it was Europe! But then again, there was no way I could of made it there so fast, it must have been an island. My body ached, it felt like it could all combust, I felt so uncomfortable, but I had to continue for Artemis - I couldn't leave her to die.
*A few hours later*
I had completely lost track of time, one thing I swore not to do. Without warning, a sudden rumble shook my boat, shaking it violently. Out of nowhere, a massive explosion erupted, a gigantic sea monsters burst out, roaring deafeningly. I instantly recognised who it was - Scylla. Panic burst through my veins, as I frantically tried to locate where I had last placed my weapon. I had no idea how to defend myself from that beast, I didn't think she had noticed me yet.(thankfully, because I was still rushing around trying to find my bow and arrow.) After finally arming myself with something, I formed a strong stance to make sure I don't get knocked off my feet within seconds.
Quick update: that didn't work, she noticed me, and with her trident, she slapped me into the water, fantastic. I loaded my bow and arrow and shot aimlessly at Scylla, hoping to to some damage, but instead, I angered her even more. I held my breath, I dipped underwater, trying to think of a plan on how to defeat her. I had a plan, (somehow) she had scales as strong as iron, but I noticed, that on her chest, the scales were ripped off, revealing parts of her skin, I I could aim right there, in the centre, I would have a chance at killing her.
Confident with my plan, I resurfaced just to find a very angry sea monster glaring back down at me, she pointed her spiky trident at me, but I was faster. It seemed like time slowed down, (like Percy fighting Kronos in SoM😼) I loaded my bow and arrow and roughly aimed at her heart, I let go, praying to hit her weak spot. My arrow flew forwards, it was definitely going to hit her chest, 3...2...1... AHHHHH a bloodcurdling screech echoed the the empty ocean as Scylla collapsed, leaving a massive splash as she fell.
Impressed with myself, I effortfully swam to my boat that somehow survived, and hopped in and I continued rowing forwards until the sun hung low, I rowed straight into the horizon, admiring the breath-taking sunset, purple and orange streaks making a unforgettable scenery, the warm air blowing in my face, swishing my hair back. (main character moment) As I slumped down in the boat, I let the waves take control, as my eyes slowly began to close, shutting out the magnificent view.

ФэнтезиGreek Gods, interesting and addicting mythology. You would obviously think they were fake, like a typical person. I though the same, until one ordinary day something unbelievable happened - something impossible - something no one had ever witnessed.
