Hydra

Remy and I were flying around the big ocean for a couple of weeks and found nothing but just small different animal species. We stopped by different islands to rest and found nothing at all, just until we decided to explore inside of the caves or suspicious places we thought about. The first time we got inside of a cave it was during the night and we found a different specie they were small, shiny, with wings, but with a human shape. I got closer and talked "Hi! my name is Mileena and I am a human."

One of them looked at me and said "We know humans, they are not allowed to trespass our territory since we had to kill one of them after being attacked and caught by them."

"Why would a human do that?" I asked.

"Because they think we are *weird* and they wanted to exchange us for money, " they explained.

"I am here to protect, not to attack or catch anyone. Actually, I am just exploring for new creatures and different, unusual species to join me and kill certain impure people." I smiled.

"We just want peace, live, and be free."

"I know, so I will give you an orb for protection, so no one but only certain people which I mean pure were only able to see it since they would not have any bad intentions to hurt anyone," I gave them a little orb as small as their hands and walked away "you do not have to kill and they would not have to hurt you all."

"We appreciate it," they exclaimed.

"Just only one more thing. If that pure people are too young to take care of themselves, then you should help" I got up to Remy and we flew away.

We saw the sunrise and decided to rest a bit, I was not tired at all but I accepted because Remy was the one flying around and I just abused him remaining on his back lying down on his back and doing nothing at all, so I just stayed up to catch some fish and fruit that way I could do something to eat and helping him to recover some energy.

When I came back with enough food I would need I decided to collect wood and materials, I saw Remy still sleeping and I just did everything as quiet as possible. I decided to wake Remy up when I was done with my cooking, but when I touched him realized he was red and his temperature was raising, so I grabbed him in my arms, I relax and try to remember what to do in this case. I was totally scared and my mind was a mess and could not thing in anything but get inside of the cold water, so I carried him and got in the sea, it was pretty cold to me but my only worry was about him.

I stayed inside until he woke up and asked me "What are you doing?"

I sighed "You are sick, so I brought you inside the water to see if it works."

He laughed "You could just grab some water and use a piece of cloth to put it un my forehead. However, I still appreciate your effort."

We got out of the water and he added "I wonder if you could use your powers to heal."

I knew it was an obvious question "I do, but I got too scared to think about."

"Do not worry, it might be because we stopped meditating, you need to relax, rest and clear your mind at least a bit." He smiled.

He started eating and I felt more relaxed, I was glad to see him so well. I meditated until I fell asleep and when I woke up he was sitting by my side watching the stars and said "We gotta go North this time, just a bit to the North."

"Why?" I was confused.

"The stars are asking me to go to the North..."

We started our way to the North just until 6 days later when Remy decided to touch land to a new place to me. "Where we are?" I asked.

"Not yet, we need to wait for a bit."

We waited until I got tired and decided to go for a swim, Remy tried to stop me and I just ran out to the sea while laughing, when I touched the water a big creature came out and I got shocked by its four heads, and my body reacted throwing a ball of fire to it cutting two of its heads. I heard it crying and when I realized what I had done "I am so sorry, you took me by surprised but I am not here to fight or something."

"I was planning to kill you and eat you, but now I just wanna kill you!!!" it exclaimed.

"I am sorry, I will compensate it for your attention or a bit of it," I suggested.

One of the creature's heads just got closer "I will listen if that means you are gonna compensate me for my two heads."

"I want to kill all the impure people and leave all the people that really deserve life. You gotta kill anyone you see is unclean and let those pure souls live. In exchange, I will give you an orb and you would be able to increase your powers using mines," I explained.

"Then, it is a deal. We are Hydra. Hydra of Lerna!"

I took the orb and extended my hand "You should hide it whenever you think nobody is gonna find it."

Hydra touched it and ate it "Inside of me is the safest place that I know is gonna be fine."

Its two heads start growing, and another two grew up "I think you just got a new ability."

One of Hydra heads got closer and asked "Have you ever tried to talk with Kraken?"

I got confused "Who is that?"

Another head exclaimed, "It is the biggest creature of the ocean and the most dangerous!!"

"Where can I find it?" I asked.

Remy interrupted "If Hydra says it is really dangerous, then we are not supposed to go to find it!!!"

I laughed "It is fine, just a little trip. We did this traveling for that only reason. Therefore, you got nothing to say."

Remy laughed "Pffft... good!"

Hydra continued "I do not know, I only saw it once and sea creatures are not really friendly with each other. However, somewhere to the West in a smaller Island than the Island to its next, but bigger than a piece of a small island might be a goddess in the middle, she might respond to the name of Calypso, and she will help a bit. That is all I have for you and now I must say goodbye." Hydra just swam away.

"Did you heard that?? We got a new mission!!" I exclaimed.

Remy just laughed "I know. You really love the idea to go on a new island and find a goddess, so she can guide us to our death."

I laughed "You are so funny. However, I do not wanna die and I wanna complete my mission!!!"

Remy sighed "I guess." Transformed into a dragon "Let's go."

I jumped and we started going to the west "How long do you think is gonna take?"

"I do not know, you did not ask Hydra?" Remy asked.

"I forgot to go do that" I sighed.

"It is fine since it described as a middle size island, no problem." Remy smiled at me.

We flew for a half-day when we started seeing three islands far from us and we knew those might be the islands. Three hours later we arrived and figured out which island it was, and we came down.

"Hydra said in the middle!!! Why are we landing on the coast?" I asked.

Remy patted me "You need some exercise, and so do I. We had to fly a long time, and now I just want to walk."

We started walking into the island and everything seemed to be really nice, we heard someone signing a really sweet melody and then saw a woman dancing in a slow way, it was so warm and nice that we could not wish to go away or step back. However, something inside me made me react and when I realized it was Calypso doing that feeling to keep us with her, I decided to closed her mouth and stopped her.

"Hi, Calypso! My name is Mileena and I am just here to ask for certain directions about a certain unknown location." I exclaimed.

I let her talked "Oh! You are Mileena, I see. I am the goddess Calypso, I have too much knowledge to offer, May I get know about the reason for this visit?"

"We want to know about the Kraken and his location!" I exclaimed.

Calypso smiled and sat in a rock, "The Kraken? Well, it is a really huge octopus with really bad humor, whoever gets close or inside of his territory is already sentenced to die."

"Is there a way to talk to him?" I asked.

"There might be if you persist and asked him for comprehension or at least to listen to your words." She smiled.

"Is that it? I just need to avoid every attack and persist?!?" I was confused.

"Yes, but he lives in the deepest waters of the ocean. You might need to change into a sea creature form, Do not you think?" She asked with such an impression.

"I can change into anything." I just informed.

She laughed "To swim as deep as the Kraken does, you are gonna need something more since any creature cannot swim like it."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You need one of Circe's potions, she has a more deepest knowledge about potions than me, darling."

"Who is Circe?" I asked.

"She is mostly an enchantress. She is gotta give you something useful if you are nice, but be careful or she will convert you into an animal." Calypso warned and added "However, it is time for you two to go. Also, she might be located in Aeaea island in the East."

"Oh, but to the east there no island at all, unless you go to the south" I informed.

"You should go to Albania and find a way to open Aeaea's door!!" she exclaimed and disappeared.

"I guess, Kraken is a creature really difficult to find and treat." Remy laughed.

"We gotta find Circe!" I started walking.

Remy transformed into a dragon and said, "We already walked too much, come up to my back, and let's go to the East!"

I got up and asked, "I do not know what she meat about Albania."

"Some nymphs and gods can see the future, so they called certain earth territories by the futurist names," Remy explained.

"So, Albania is how that territory is gonna be named in the future?" I asked.

"Yes."

After a couple of hours, we landed in earth "This is Albania?" I asked.

He responded "Yes."

"Where is supposed to be Aeaea??" I asked.

"I do not know, she just said that we need to open it by ourselves," Remy responded.

I sat and Remy did the same, we started thinking and thinking, but nothing was coming to us. We walked around the island to find anything, but everything was empty and normal. I decided to meditate and ask for answers, so I meditated for a whole week until one day when I was sleeping and someone said "You are the key, it is because you are the connector. You just need to pass the energy to the other side and everything is gonna appear in front of you!"

I woke up and forgot about the dream, but I was sure that I dreamed about something, all the pressure came to me and I got really anxious and suddenly I started hitting my head against the ground and cry because I had the answer and did not remember, Remy, woke up and stopped me "Calm dooooown!!!" he started yelling at me until he slapped my face and said, "Everything is all right."

I hugged him so strong and cried "I forgot my dream" I whispered.

"What dream?" Remy asked.

"Someone talked to me and I forgot it" I explained.

Remy hugged me and kissed my head "You do not need to remember, we are gonna find a way to do it, do not worry."
