As promised, another chapter will be released by the end of the day!

"Y-You a-are a-a girl?!?"

"Surprised?" The giant octopus questioned him with a smug smile, proud that the boy in front of her reacted the way he did.

The female octopus had long, ocean-blue hair, and a small face with eyes as white as the moon. At a height of 5 feet, she looked like an angel. Well, that's if she wasn't strangling a boy to death right now-

"L-let m-m-eee go!" The boy spoke with suppressed anger.

"We'll talk about letting you go later. Let me first heal, or would you like your bond to die?"

'It's not like I can kill you anyways…' Caedes grumbled in his mind, annoyed at how he was just being pushed over.

The grip around his neck tightened as the girl's eyebrow twitched. Turning towards him, she moved her tentacles, smashing him around the place a dozen times.

'The heck- Can she hear my thoughts?!?' Caedes screamed internally, scared of the consequences of it.

As the girl walked towards the house, the boy was dragged behind her with those tentacles.

He still couldn't help but be shocked at how she walking properly. Unknown to the fact that the two beings could share powers with their bond.

It didn't matter which, as long as one person possessed it; the other could also have a chance to access it.

Entering the house made of coral reefs, the girl threw Caedes towards a sofa while walking towards a half-enclosed space with cooking utensils placed upon them.

The boy, now free from the clutches of the supposedly evil girl, massaged his neck softly and made himself comfortable.

"Give me a minute to clean myself up. If I come back and get to know that you escaped…"

The kettle filled with water let out a burst of steam as it made a whistling sound, interrupting the girl's threat.

Turning around, she walked towards one of the rooms while one of the tentacles behind her back picked up the kettle bringing it inside the room with her.

Watching the wooden door close fiercely with a bang sound, Caedes shifted his gaze away, glancing at the simple yet elegant furniture.

A few enlarged seashells with cushion-like objects placed on them, assuming that this was a sofa like the one he was sitting on, Caedes glanced at the unique types of furniture around him.

Standing up, he walked towards one of the stone tablets placed in the corner of the room. The pitch-black tablet was around around 5 feet long and writings were carved on it with golden ink.

[ Far, far beneath the abysmal sea, lay a Kraken where even the faintest sunlight fleets.

Consuming huge sea worms even in its sleep, it lay in the shadow deep.

In this sea of stars, it glowed the brightest.

Like a burning candle, like an erupting volcano, like a blazing star…

It burnt, burnt until all it was left with was ashes.

An end wonderful, deciding upon the fate of the very cycle. It will burn, burn until one of them ends.

Until the fire shall heat the very deep, taking upon a massive leap…

In the water was it born and in water will it die, in the reflection of these waves, the sky itself shall cry…

An end wonderful, deciding upon the fate of the very cycle. It shall be the flames that sparked the apocalypse…

Until one of them ends! ]

Stunned reading such magnificent words, the boy stood there in shock and in contemplation of the meaning these bold words held.

"That's a nice writing you got there."

The girl wore a white dress that came down to her knees.

"What you see right now is one of my ancestral keepsakes."

"This stone tablet is said to peek into an individual's future… What you see in front of you is my prophecy, although it's said that none of the prophecies it mentioned were true.

It has become a ritual for every heir of our race to drop a small amount of our blood until the next child grows to the age of coming.

It's not like someone else is alive though. I am the last member of my now-extinct race, that is also the reason you call me an overgrown octopus; unknown of the legendary origins behind my race."

 "Legendary origins?"

"I am of a race compared to that of the Legendary Dragon and Phoenix, the world once called us ' The Kraken ' " The girl said, puffing her chest with pride.

Caedes could not understand what was happening right now. There were other races than humans and demons? Did that mean that all he was taught in high school was wrong? Humans were not the only other race than demons. To top that off, those things people called 'myths and legends' might actually be true!

Ps: Many new characters will be introduced soon and I would love it if you all- My dear readers could give me some ideas. It could be a name you really like or even a super power you would like a character to have.
