Part 2:The Ocarina
Part 2! Part 1 was just to introduce the adventure(as you might have guessed).
It was a bit annoying at first. The water was too shallow to row without hitting rocks or sand. That slowed me down, the oars getting stuck in the sand about four times. Once the water got deeper, I had a new problem.
First, I felt a push from beneath me, making me drop one oar. Actually, I was going to pick it up, but something grabbed it. Something was down there. I pushed along, changing the side the or was on every second. It finally seemed that the strange beast was gone. But that assumption was fatal. As soon as I settled down, thinking that nothing could possibly make the trip more boring, a huge fish jumped out of the water in front of me.
I was too close to change direction, so I jumped out. The water was almost cold enough to make me jump back into my boat and endure the fish eating me. Of course, after two seconds, that was no longer an option. The boat had been swallowed by the fish, which I finally realized was a gyorg.
It turned to look at me, then to the sky. The next thing I knew, Morpha was trying to carry me across the sea! She was only strong enough to grab me by my shoulder, though I was in the water up to my knees. I could tell she was using all her strength, the gyorg was not far behind though.
The Line Sea seemed longer now. I could see land in the distance, but it seemed hundreds of thousands of miles away. I knew it was only about fifty miles, but the closer I got, the farther away it seemed. Of course, that's what happens when you're being held up by an eagle and being chased by an angry gyorg. You want the eagle to go faster than the gyorg, but it's almost always the other way around(the gyorg's faster).
I bet you're wondering why I'm not panicked? Mostly because I'm too used to these things happening, and also because this way was much faster than rowing on that boat.
Morpha gripped harder to tell me she wasn't enjoying this as much as me. Of course, I didn't enjoy it at all, so she must've really hated it.
Eventually, Morpha had to let go. She didn't want to lose me though, because she immediately attacked the gyorg once she let go. I swam as fast as I could, and then, surprisngly, I found out I was actually only a few feet from land. A huge beach spreading all the way to the horizon on both sides. I swam until I could walk, walked until I could run, and ran, turned around, and called Morpha. She came and landed on my arm.
The gyorg looked at me, spun around, and swam from view.
"I thought it was supposed to take sixteen hours."I said to Morpha."Maybe you're just too fast."
Then I made my way to the magical artifacts building.
