Title: Creature Rating: G Prompt: Haunting #2 Summary: He haunts the ocean floor, 100 words
Even after thousands of years the creature never got it's fill of killing. It was so powerful, few mages tried to cross it. Men, and women had fought the creature, most had died.
It lurked in the depths of the ocean, waiting for a whale, or a boat. Wanting, needing to destroy everything that has crossed it's path.
The creatures tentacles spread over miles of ocean waiting with the patience of a thousand decades. Up ahead is a fleet, maybe Yaman, or Kyprish, it doesn't matter, their empires will fall long before his death.
With deadly accuracy the kraken strikes.

I could actually visualize the kraken striking. I have obviously been watching too much Pirates of the Caribbean.

I have to say, "it doesn't matter, their empires will fall long before his death." is my favourite bit!!
