The Red Pike

Nerva’s Story Part Seventeen

By Red Dragon

Nerva was being strangled by the tentacle of the huge beast. He was unable to move, and was slowly drowning. Tyrana, who escaped the creature, started swimming towards him. She was probably coming to finish him off. He knew she was a dirty fighter, but killing someone without a fight at all is just plain cowardly. “No!”, he thought. In a rush of adrenaline he moved his arm just enough to grip his sword and unsheath it, and sliced the Tusoteuthis’ tentacle right off. Tyrana started swimming back to shore. He must have frightened her. He went back to land himself too so he could get back to his army. Then, suddenly, he was knocked out by another one of the creature’s tentacles.
