Scratch

not one book. everyone says i look like HP, so apparently i'm the only one on Earth who hasn't read it.

here is my part of chapter 3. sorry it it's short.

Coil rested on the shallow seabed, waiting. He knew that any sea cryptid who went to the Festival of Cryptids wasn’t likely to get out. But he hoped that Epher was smart enough to get out before the humans got him. Coil eyed a group of tuna swimming by, but decided to wait. He could catch something later. He kept waiting. Then the still waters were disturbed by a metallic whirring. Ripples spread. Then a small, human vessel puttered into view. Coil looked at it. It didn’t look like a threat. But he knew better then to leave it be. Even if it wasn’t important, the group wouldn’t thank him for not taking the opportunity to destroy a human vessel, no matter how small it was. Coil quietly floated to the surface.

Ω  Ω  Ω

Tattoo looked at the selkie with contempt. “Hurry up with the sea water.” He said to Stubble, who was filling a large barrel with water from the ocean. “Finished.” He replied. “Fine. Then help me move this selkie.” Tattoo and Stubble lifted up Epher and dropped him into the barrel. Then they nailed the top on.

Ω  Ω  Ω

Ideas of how to sink this human vessel flashed through Coil’s mind. Then he decided. Slowly, silently, Coil glided underneath the vessel. Then he slowly rose until the spikes on his neck touched the small boat. With lightning speed, he jammed his spikes deep into the vessel’s hull. Then he corkscrewed, sending the boat to the seafloor. His tail smashed the wood, oblivious to the human’s screaming, until there was nothing left but planks scattered over the seafloor. Swimming around the wreckage to make sure the destruction was complete, Coil found a barrel, somehow still intact. Sending out infrared rays from the organs in his snout, he detected something alive in the barrel. Gently, he cut the barrel into planks with his sword. Then he sighed, rolling his eyes. Of course Epher would be captured, he wasn’t exactly a ghost crab.
Noticing that Epher seemed to be in a daze of some sort, he gently waved his tail, causing currents that drifted Epher back to the others.

Cool^^
I liked how you added the part with Tattoo and Stubble.
Should I continue Chapter 3? I think it would be better to leave it at that, but we might need him waking up and explaining or something.
Where does everyone get those cool transitions thingies????!!!??? *jealous face*

if you have microsoft word, like i do, you just go to insert symbols and pick one that looks cool. if u dont, type in greek alphabet in google images. the greek alphabet has cool symbols. my transition thing is an omega.
we should make it have Epher waking up and having to explain to Amaya. he's in trouble.>:3

mutant shark. it goes with the story.

Dont worry, your (most likely) not the one person on earth who hasn't read it.
I'm sure you already know the terms, but just in case: Hogwarts=Harry's school (this is after Harrys time though) Askaban=Wizard Jail for evil witches/wizards

I haven't read it!

you haven't read HP? :0

You are no longer alone, dserp!

Some other options for Human names on Fighters instead of Pale Skins could be
No-Scales (pretty self-explanatory)
Short-Belly (Because snakes have really long bellies and humans have short bellies)
Round-Tongue (Because snakes have forked tongues. I think. That might just be stereotypical.)

my transition symbol ideas.
₪₪₪ my fav

Just something I think would be fun to do. It sounds like a lot, but it wouldn't really be. It would be  a great way to get the community excited about Arabian Nights...

ooooooohhhhhhh
aaaaaaahhhhhhhh

So do you think we should do it? Because some people arent doing Arabian Nightmares and it could be something for them to do instead of it. It would be fun! :3

something to do while i'm waiting!
books, games, a newspaper, and mini horror stories. whoever participates in everything AN does will be srsly overloaded
