Joe’s Quest

It was getting dark but Joe angrily swam on. He wasn’t leaving without the truth. How could Eclipse lie to him? Joe knew it wasn’t right. Joe could feel it like he had never felt it before. As he swam through the cave in frustration, he passed the octopus leg. “Eclipse is not stupid enough to cut off a leg” Joe thought. “Eclipse!” he yelled. “I want the truth!” Eclipse heard Joe’s voice and knew what he meant. “I’m very sorry Joe!” she slowly said. “I know the truth! I can tell you! I was out shopping one day when I saw a sign that said “Have your future predicted” and that’s how it all began.”

Chapter 2 The Beginning “I went in thinking it was amazing, but it was horrible. I knew he was wrong.” “Who was wrong?” asked Joe. “Coldemaut.” Joe knew all about Coldemaut. Coldemaut and Eclipse were friends. When Coldemaut finished school, he got a job as a fortune teller predicting ocean animal’s future. “And...” But before Eclipse could say a word, Joe was off in a flash. He knew that Eclipse couldn’t stay in a cave her whole life with only one friend. Joe was getting Eclipse a friend...and Coldemaut was perfect.

Chapter 3 The Quest

The days past by but Joe wouldn’t give up. He charged resiliently through seahorse caverns and passed fluently through squid ink lane but Coldemaut’s cave was the biggest challenge. As he swam through the cave he heard a deep voice that sent a chill down his spine. “Who goes there!?” Joe’s body froze as a dark, cold figure emerged slowly from the darkness. “Um... I am Joe” squeaked Joe. “I’ve got a..um..surprise for you!” “Oh good I love surprises.” Coldemaut secretly lied. “Let’s just go kid.” So they set off.

Chapter 4 The Surprise “Here we are!” Joe exclaimed loudly. Coldemaut looked at the cave. It was dark and murky. As they went to swim in, there was a mysterious rolling sound. Coldemaut and Joe froze. They took a step back and there in a small, sealed jar was an eye. “My eye!” Immediately, Coldemaut ripped off his eye patch and slowly placed his eye into his socket. “Thank you!” Eclipse anxiously emerged from the cave. “I’m sorry, Coldemaut.” She said.

As they walked through the cave, Eclipse froze. Something wasn’t right. Where was Coldemaut?
