The four Beatles gathered around the Fisherman one last time to listen to the dangers they might face.  The Old Scotsman was weak but, he also was excited that the submarine had risen.  John sat down next to Paul, Paul sat down next to George, and George sat down next to Ringo.  The Old Fisherman Scotsman began to speak the tales,

"Goin' far down in therm' oceans can be dangerous.  But what you see before yeh', is a marvel from the deep.  That thing yeh see there, it can go through anything.  Even survive one of the most dangerous and wicked monsters of legends.  When I mean one, I dohn't jus' mean one, I mean ALL of them.  I'm talking about the great whale from moby dick, the kraken octopus that eats pirates ships, the loch ness monster.  You name em' and that submarine can get pass it,"

"Special things on that submarine I heard are used to get pass the big monsters.  Some say, that the kraken octopus and the mega shark is the most wicked and difficult to pass through the ocean.  Dangers lie at the bottom of the sea in the abyss, some say that there are monsters that haven't been discovered.  Terrifying and Evil.  Hydra is one of the evil sea snakes that lives in the abyss.  But that isn't the worst of them all,"

"The water dwellin' Leviathan guards the beautiful siren you seek.  The monster Leviathan is the color of the ocean.  Some say it's the most horrifying thing fishermen, pirates, and land explorers had ever seen in their entire lives.  A sea dwellin' dragon that lives in the ocean.  Protectin' the most rarest and beautiful siren in all the world.  When you come ter that thing' you oughta brace yerselves'  when ya meet em.  He's a big one."

  When the Scotsman finished John spoke stern and serious,

"This thing you say.  Would we be able to make it back alive?"

"As long as yeh' prey, I dohn' reckon a single pound on tha'.  But as long as you keep hearing the beautiful siren's voice, you'll be able to get back safely lads.  Some say she's the most prettiest thing' in the ocean."

"She really is." says Paul sighing deeply.

Ringo scrunches his nose disgusted, " You always like the females Paul.  Anyhow, Mr. Fisherman, we just need to know if any of the monsters might gobble us up if you get what I mean."

The old grey haired Scotsman eyes wandered up to the ceiling, then he brought his attention back to the four young men,

"Yes.  Most of em will try to eat yeh' although I forgot about the peaceful creatures.  You'll most likely run into some gorgeous creatures that are kind and beautiful as well.  They won't harm yeh.  And by god, the one magnificent creature you might see when your out finding the siren, is the hippocamps,"

"What are those?" George asks.

"Have you ever heard of seahorses yeah?  Well, in mythology, Kelipe Horse Hippocamps are large sized seahorses, like normal sized horses you would see on a farm, only they have no back legs an' they have a large curled tail.  They are beautiful and handsome creatures of time.  When yeh' run into one, it is said that they can read yer mind and heart on the way you feel.  Some say the creatures are also kind and wise among other beings.  Whenever you get hurt, they use this chemical off of their bodies and heal wounds faster then any other animal in the world.  Amazing creatures they are,"

"I also forgot, you might see a mermaid if you're lucky.  But I dohn' count on it cause they are extremely hard to spot.  They come out rarely where you four young lads may be going.  However, if yeh' do come across one of em' mermaids, whatever you do don't go near them.  They may seem like the fairest of all creatures you've ever seen but, they can put curses on yeh.  Terrible curses."

George spoke, "And the submarine, will help us?  Are there weapons on the thing?"

"I dohn't know.  You'll just have to discover em' yerselves.  Some say that when yeh' travel deep in the ocean you'll come across the land of submarines.  All kinds of em', old, new, broken down, and some say there be some haunted ones.  I don't believe in the haunted ones though, whatever you do lads, don't be stupid.  You have to be wise ter yeh submarine because I heard it can sense yer feelings and personalities."

John, Paul, George, and Ringo nods there head understanding.  Paul spoke,

"Of course.  And we thank you Mr. Fisherman,"

"Call me Zimmerman." said the old Scotsman nodding his head.

Paul smiled, "Thank you....Mr. Zimmerman."

   Then the four Beatles turned to see the submarine submerged out of the water.  Bright and yellow, vibrant with color, a sleek of gold was painted on the sides, and the fin propeller stuck up out of the water.  Paul was first to jump onto the side of the submarine and go down the hatch inside.  Then next it was John, then George, then finally Ringo closing the top and twisting it shut.  

     The grey haired, green eyed Scotsman watched as the Submarine lowered into the water and then disappear deep into the ocean...
