2 Creature from the Sea

CHAPTER 2

A Creature from the Sea Lucas and Ruskin played one more game of fetch the snack. Then Lucas stuffed an apple fritter into his pocket for later. The two playmates skipped past King Caleb on their way outside. The king sat on his throne and stared out to sea. Lucas turned around. "Is something wrong, Father?" Lucas asked.

The king scrunched his brow and sighed. "Perhaps," he said. "We've had some troubling reports from the fishermen." "About what?" asked Lucas. "Giant waves in and around the Sea of Wrenly," the king said.

"Must be a storm brewing," Lucas said. "That's my guess," said the king, "but some say they've seen a large creature in the water." "What kind of creature?" asked Lucas, becoming more interested.

"Something big," the king said. "Like a whale or a giant octopus." "Or maybe a sea monster!" said Lucas. The king raised an eyebrow. "That's ridiculous!" he said. "There are no such things as sea monsters." Ruskin squawked. "That's not what I've heard," Lucas said. "My old nursemaid, Nanny Louisa, told me a story about a sea monster. She said she saw it with her own eyes." The king chuckled. "I know that story too," he said. "The legend of the Great Sea Serpent has been around for years."
