After a few more days at sea, Minos and his crew finally encountered the first problem of their journey.
Sailing at the same speed they had been traveling since Oqia's departure, the party encountered a gigantic sea creature in their path.
This creature was like the Kraken of the Spiritual World, but its body was the size of a dragon's body, as big as a mountain!
When the captain saw the creature's many arms, he stopped his boat and alerted the entire crew to the problem ahead.
Everyone on the boat was already aware of their surroundings, so they didn't change their reactions. They just slightly shifted their focus.
As they did so, Minos saw that the giant creature was in the only safe place for them to pass through.
"Shit!" He muttered.
"What is it?" Ruth asked.
Minos said. "The damn thing is blocking the way. There's no way forward without going through it."
