Queen's Champion

Atlantis

A.N: Okay maybe I should clear up why I made the comment I made in my author's note at the end of last chapter... I've gotten a few PMs from readers requesting longer chapters. It wasn't a knock on any other author on this site. I was simply pointing out that my chapters are already pretty long and that I update daily usually. Sorry, I should have made it clear as it was really aimed at the people who sent the messages.

That being said, only one person listed two authors who qualify for requirements. Most people listed Starblade176, who is a far better author than me, but considering his story is only 17 chapters long and been up for over a year, it doesn't get updated daily. I wish it did because it's a great story but sadly it does not. I had planned on not writing a chapter last night but since LyingTruth123 actually gave me two authors that did what I asked, I wrote this last night... It's not twice as long but I won't drawl on for three thousand words and I need to save what comes next for next chapter.

Sorry for not being more clear on why I put that in the author's note, I was simply frustrated with the requests for longer chapters.

Ch. 34

Percy nodded and led Zoe out of his father's palace. Percy used the currents to send him and Zoe in the direction of the army. After about ten minutes, they saw the army of Mermen still locked in battle. As they were about to charge, a voice behind them caused Percy to freeze. When he turned, he saw Oceanus standing behind him and Zoe with the largest monster Percy had ever seen in his life save for Ladon.

"Where do you think you're going Jackson?" Oceanus sneered.

"I was going to help the Mermen but now that you're here, I think I will kill you first." Percy growled.

Oceanus laughed loudly, "I think not little demigod. I have a meeting with your father but I'll leave my friend the Kraken here to keep you entertained." He spat before turning back towards Atlantis as the monstrous Kraken stood in his place looking at Percy and Zoe hungrily.

Percy looked at the monster in fear as this was not what he had been expecting to face. He would have gladly battled Oceanus over this monstrous squid like creature. It was huge, it had to be forty or fifty feet tall with giant tentacles that Percy knew once snatched he'd have one Hades of time trying to get free of. The monster looked like a cross between multiple different types of squid or octopus but had a shell covering its midsection where its head protruded from.

Percy glanced quickly at Zoe who looked just as worried as him.

"Any ideas how we fight this thing?" Percy asked hopefully.

"Well unless you've got Medusa's head hidden under your armor then I'm at a loss for ideas." Zoe replied back.

The monster continued to stare at the two but Percy knew it would strike any second.

"Alright then I guess we'll go with my favorite plan." Percy announced.

"Why does that not sound like something I'm going to like?" Zoe asked exasperated.

"Because it means we wing it. Split up before this thing attacks." Percy yelled before he sprinted to the left while Zoe sprinted to the right. The monster followed Percy as a tentacle flew toward him. Percy had Riptide out in a flash as he slashed at the tentacle. Riptide pierced the tentacle but despite the power of his strike, Percy couldn't cut through it.

Another tentacle flew toward Percy which he slashed away but it distracted him from the second that slipped around his leg. Before he could react, Percy's leg was pulled out from under him as the Kraken began dragging him toward its head. Percy tried to slash the tentacle away with Riptide but another tentacle knocked the blade out of his hand. Percy began to panic as he tried to reach for his hunting knives. As he reached for them, he saw Zoe in a similar position being dragged weaponless towards the Kraken's mouth.
