The Mikazuki Valley, or "valley of the crescent Moon", located to the south of Japan's greatest empire, plus plummeting into the most peaceful nights. The ink-black skyhad been filled with thousands of stars every night playing their roles. A light wind had risen, making the tall stems of the rice field sleeping around the village dance. The village of shiru was small, counting barely more than five hundred inhabitants, but was known in the rest of the empire for it's prosperity equaling no other, and its respect for ancestral traditions. some like to say that the inhabitants had made a pack with the gods, thus ensuring security and life in the village. whenever one of the villagers was asked this question they say it was a secret.

apart from the few guards patrolling the deserted streets and providing security, everyone slept the deepest sleep..…or almost. in a modest house in the center of the village was a man laying in bed the middle of his room led by a few small candles. he was in his forties, with very short, flat black hair, a serious closed face, at a smooth mustache. he was named Ishiro, and was a recognized historian in the country, but also very downgarded by the others historians for his hodgepodge theories. Ishiro and made a specialty of past history, especially those concerning the gods and supernatural creatures who supposedly populate our world without us seeing it.

Ishiro sleep seemed agitated, the man constantly moaning, turning every 2 minutes in bed and grimacing sometimes. His hands clenched on the blanket. A powerful gust of when suddenly open the window of his room and blew out all the candles at once. Ishiro woke up at the same instant. sitting in his bed, breathing as if out of breath and his eyes filled with a distinct anxiety. He ran Hand over his forehead, see if you dropped off sweat. he looked at straight and as if hypnotized by the fear that hunted him and pulled him out of his sleep. A headache seized him, thanking him wince in pain. A series of strange and indistinct images jostled in his mind……I see agitated by a terrible storm……add in the middle of this ocean furious, a ship, lost and fighting against the enemy to stay afloot..... On the sail of this great ship, a blazon in the shape of a large flower with three petals opening and surrounded by a laurel……Then suddenly, a Titanic from, even larger than a mountain, emerge from the ocean and open two eyes filled with fire and anger......

Ishiro pushed in his blanket up and stood up without losing a moment. trusted in his kimono, with a lantern in his hand, he corridors of his dwelling in the darkest and headed for the office room. The relatively small square Room, however, contained dozens of large books, mostly Dusty, and other very ancient parchment, piled up in crates or spread all over the small wooden desk standing in the center of the room. on one of the walls was a map of the known world, where are several crosses at Pacific points had been drawn with black ink, as indicating positions, the most common on the coasts. most of the books on the shelf for about the legends in mythology of all people and beliefs in the world that Ishiro had been able to study: Greek mythology, Scandinavian, Aztec, Egyptian, etc…… Ishiro Washington to the bookshelf in in the lantern light, in looking at them one by one, seeming to look for one and particular. And the he found it. A thick book with a binder of old brown leather. Seizing it, Ishiro made some clean one has desk by removing some papers put the big book in which were identified the coast of arms of all a great and small kingdom known through the world, as well as their history. Ishiro spent long minutes flipping through the book, Page by Page, scrutinizing every coast of arm he saw. the man was more and more nervous as the second passed.

"where is it..… where is it..…?"he repeated instantly. and finally, he found it. The same blazon he had seen on the ships sale from his vision. he read the name written in Black ink next to the symbol.

_"Arendelle……"

The shutters in the office window where sudden push ed by a gust of when that made Ishiro I'm surprised. The natural breathe swept the room, flying several parchment, one of which took place on Ishiro's black. the man seeing him, felt his heart lap in his chest. On the parchment was resprented a shape exceeding why it's size the highest mountains, standing on two big legs, a massive body, powerful and clawed arms, a back dotted with dorsal spines. The on the paper was roaring powerful and Ishiro could almost hear it in his mind, a terrifying echo from a Faraway past, Ishiro then filled the wind grown stronger outside, making crack foundations of his old house.

"It's already started....." he murmured anxiously.

on the horizon, behind the large mountain surrounding the village, the clouds were gradually spreading to reveal a moon full and bright and more than ordinary. This gleam attracted the attention of the village guards who contemplated this phenomenon with fascination, cleaning his hands on the edge of the window, Ishiro also watched it. His gaze change then, budding determination in his heart. closing the book with a sharp blow, he left the room, but not to go back to bed.

Meanwhile in the ocean off the coast of nowhere

The king and queen of Aradelle Had never seen such a storm in all their lives. from the deck of the boat, clinging with all their strength to the thick ropes, they saw around them the ocean in its utmost fury. Waves of several tons of meters were formed to come crushing violently, a torrential rain was falling, and the sky was invading by black clouds spewing thunder. It was like God's of the ocean decided to unleash their theory thought their elements. Everywhere on the ship, the soldiers ran and all directions, some manage to keep the cool and the others leaving appear a great fear on their face, especially the younger and less experienced._"Tuck the sails before they are torn by the wind!" yeah the one of the sailors hanging on the mast. Others came to his call and got down to work, through the incessant rolling and the endless rain did not make their task easy. At the helm of the ship, a sailor used all his might to keep the boat on the cape and prevent it from drifting away. a wave struck and almost knocked him down, but he held on, tripping a sweat.

Heading towards the rear of the boat, struggling to keep their balance, the king and queen of Arendelle, holding by the hand with strength, so the Young moss, the youngest member of the crew, about 14 years old. The youngest man was terrified, curled up in a corner and shaking like a leaf. The king came to him and took him by the shoulders.

Rise up. a soldier of Arendelle does not fear the ocean. the others need you. Go!

the king spoke harshly, but also with compassion. the youngest man nodded and took a a deep breath to regain his composure.

"yes your majesty!"he answered and ran at once to the aid of his comrades trying to shoot at a big rope of the mast. the queen joins her husband and smiled to him. But their smiles are short-lived the captain arrives, a man of mostly 50 years old and having a large experience marine life, sporting a big gray beard the captain was soaked to the skin but I'm not care.

"My king, my queen, you should go down to shelter yourself! this storm has no mercy!"

"Then we will be too, captain!"answer the king with Force against the storm. The queen felt highly of her two daughters, Elsa and Anna,

who remain at Arendelle under the watch of the serpents and under the protection of the guards, she thought of Elsa, alone in her room and looking out the window at the outside world. and Anna wandering alone the huge corridors of the castle, with no one to talk with, My god, what life had been left to them. All of this because of the mysterious power of Elsa. some happy memories came back, however, on this Christmas day where Elsa and Anna, still children, had been able with their parents, to ring the Yule bell announcing the beginning of the festivities. The Queen's heart squeeze in her chest by saying all these memories coming back into her mind. The captains fly suddenly brought her back into reality.

"With is that!?"

the captain took his telescope and watched, under the intrigued case of the royal couple. 200 m from the ship appeared what seemed to be a long roll of large black rock spikes, protruding from the surface and struck a powerful currents. These rocky points where of a staggering size.

"Reefs right in front!" the captain Shouted towards the men who was holding the helm.

the ship swerved left despite the strong currents, to try to avoid these Rocky formations. Taken bye the roll, the queen nearly went overboard but the king seized her just in time and brought her back to him.

Suddenly, a thump sounded under the ship, which was shaken buy a violent shock sending everyone to the ground. The King helped his wife getting back on his feet, while the captain and the sailors also came to their senses.

"we had a reef!" yelled one of the men, looking over the railing. suddenly, he disappeared from the sight of all, as if he stuck by something.

"A man at the sea!" cried the captain, rushing with some men to help their comrade fallen into the water. But as they approached, a vision of horror emerging from the icy water. A huge and thick tentacle emerge several tens of meters, dripping with drops of holding at its end the sailor screaming in full voice. All on the ship where paralyzed with terror. the water of the ocean seem to rise and gave rise to a sharp as wide as a small island, around in flattered, covered with a viscid and scarlet skin, six round yellow eyes and a jaw filled with hundreds conical teeth. A other tentacles ripples around him.

"The Kraken!!"yelled the captain. The panic seized the crew who abandoned all their post, ran from now on to hope to save their lives.

The great cephalospod creature uttered a long roar that tore the eardrums of all. The tentacles hit the ship with lightning speed, catching several sailors in there embrace and pulling them off the ground with violence. The smallest mast was clsmped broke in half like a toothpick and collapsed, crushing three soldiers in it's falls. Confusion and fear invaded the ship the shadow of a huge creature rising before them.

"Majesties, give yourself, now!" the captain almost gave them an order, but anxious of all to see the sovereigns of Arendelle safe. The king at first refused to abandon his friend captain,

but he saw his eyes that he had already made his decision. With a heavy heart, the king, with his wife, fled in the direction of the rowboats, well the captain, in spite of the fear, took his pistol fired at the giant shut was no more effective than a bit of mosquitoes to the creature, who turned his furious glance towards the old captain. how could this human dare to shoot on me? a tentacle crushed the captain with great brutality, without giving him a chance. at least he had driverting from the octopus, but for how long?

Two tentacles pieced the hull of the ship as if it paper and sowed chaos in the shims, destroying some of the foundation, lifting and flipping the cannons like toys, and catching unlikely soldiors. On the deck, at the site of all those men shrieking in fear, seized by these monstrous tentacles, the queen wept, the King was trying to free one of the rowboats. The Queens hand gripped on his shoulder.

-"We are the Lords of Arendelle! We cannot abandon our kingdom! And we cannot abandon our daughters!"

the vision of Elsa and Anna eagerly waiting the return of their parents, came back in the confused Spirit of the queen, who then gave reason to her husband.

"Majesty! help me!" the voice of the young 14-year-old boy rang out, and he appeared, his face tense with fear and tears in his eyes, running as fast as he could towards the couple.

A tentacle grab him by the waist and dragging him away to the black depths of the ocean. Seeing this young man screaming to death carrying away by this thing, the royal couple was horrified at the highest point.

A rumbling, more serious and more powerful suddenly rang out from the depths. The giant octopus stopped at suddenly and turned it his eyes towards the destruction of the noise. And with amazement, the king and queen song The big rock spiny rise from the water, causing waves and powerful swirls around them. What what they took for rock formations was not. These spines were lines on the back of the Titanic body cover with black scales rising more and more, so high that it seems to touch the clouds. Two thick and powerful arms along the body, armor with claws. A tell of unimaginable length. And that head…that's what terrified the king and queen the most. A reptile head, a short muzzle and a jaw filled with sharp teeth. Two yellow eyes, almost gold, showing an anger and a force out of the ordinary. The king and queen of Arendelle cannot move as the site of these other creatures paralyzed them with stupor on the terrer. The Kraken took a few steps back, almost intimidated. The intensified in the sky and the storm gang strength. The humanoid reptilian creature took a step forward shaking the ocean and roared.

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!! (pretendants Godzilla's voice)

The king and queen had to clog their ears for not becoming deaf. They felt the whole ship tremble under the vibration produced by the roar. The roaring of this thing was unlike anything known, and was surely not meant to be heard by humans. It was like the voice of a god from heaven and judged those who hurt it. This is the feeling that the royal couple had.

The reptilian creature lower its head slightly, case towards the ship. The Royal couple's eyes met that of the creature. Those eyes……They felt crushed by this look, as if God himself was watching them. The giant reptile, however, did not show any signs of aggression towards them and quickly turns his attention to the giant octopus.

The Kraken also responded with a roar, which seemed very pale compared to that of his opponent much massive. Turning away from the human ship, the kraken attaked, his tentacles heading the giant reptile to hug him deadly. The humanoid reptile grunted with fury, clunging his huge fist, and threw himself into the fray too. The and queen then witness the confrontation of the two creatures. Tentacles sizes the arms of the giant reptile, but it closed its job on one of them and more tore it apart. The octopus groaned in pain and send more tentacles. The body and legs of the giant reptile are quickly covered by the slimy tentacles, the octopus certainly to make it fall. But the reptile was much stronger than his adversary, tearing the tentacles one by one in a torrent of flesh and blood. A tentacle wraps around his big neck and trying to strangle him, but the reptile struggled and manages to bite him deeply until he snatched it away. Despite the suffering, the kraken did not give up and bit violently the right leg of the giant lizard, which a emitted a roar of pain. The lizard shield and expression of anger and with his fish str uck on top of the octopus, but the latter did not let go of his leg of his enemy. two more tentacles grab the reptiles arm again to stop him from hitting again, and the Monster growled in fury as he turned to pull them out of his teeth.

the fight of two giant provoked even greater waves, struck the ship with great violence. The two remaining masts did not support and fell in their term after being hit hard by the tale of the giant reptile, who did not realize this because he was too busy fighting his opponent.

"Move!" said the king, throwing himself on his wife to push her on the side, just before one of the Masts fell on the boats and destroying them. So the couple had no way to escape now, and swimming in the middle of the this furious ocean would be a suicide.

With his arm now free, the giant reptile grab the body of the kraken, pulling it off his legs and lifting it up as if it's weighted nothing. The Kraken tried to defend himself by lashing with his remaining tentacles on the lizards head, but this one resisted. He through the octopus at his feet, violently. The massive body of the cephalospod lifting great Wave that destabilized the ship even more. The giant reptile did not finish yet because with one of feet, he questioned the body of the octopus, then pressed, again and again with all his strength, to reduce the Kraken in a pile of crusted and inert flesh. sure of the death of his opponent, the giant lizard uttered full roar of triumph, greeted by the also roaring thunder.

On the ship, the king and queen of Aradelle witness the victory of the giant lizard, and saw him turn away, without he even lending to them. He had attracted this giant octopus for several days and it was now done. The creature began to move away, then plunged it's massive buddy and then disappears under the surface of the ocean. The king and queen looked at around. It was a real chaos and they were apparently the only survivors of them manicure. The lifeless bodies of the Taylor's all over the deck felt like a knife in the hearts. Suddenly, a wave, much larger than all the others until now, appeared of the ship and covered it with its shadow. The couple looked at directly into their eyes their expressions indicating the same reaction.

"I'm sorry darling.... I love you." said the king tenderly touching his wife's cheek.

"I……I love you too…"she answered suddenly her last tears. The King smiled, accepting the Fate that was destined for them.
