About Your Adventure
YOU are an oceanographer who studies and photographs marine life. You also have a strong interest in old tales about the kraken and other sea monsters.

Chapter One sets the scene. Then you choose which path to read. Follow the links at the bottom of each page as you read the stories. The decisions you make will change your outcome. After you finish one path, go back and read the others for new perspectives and more adventures. Use your device’s back buttons or page navigation to jump back to your last choice.
CHAPTER 1
SEA CREATURE SEARCH
Splash!
You dive into the crisp, crystal-blue water of the Caribbean Sea. All around you the sea teems with life, and you capture it all with your underwater camera. A stingray slides along the ocean floor. A group of jellyfish and a spiky puffer fish float nearby.
You can’t believe you get to take photos of such amazing sea creatures for your job. Today your work has brought you to a reef system in the Caribbean Sea near the coast of Jamaica. You’re searching for a group, or shiver, of hammerhead sharks, and find them circling the coral reef.
jpgPuffer fish often make their homes in coral reefs.
The sharks are a smaller variety and aren’t aggressive toward humans. Still, you keep your distance as you snap a series of photos.
After a time, you swim toward the surface. Your scuba tank is nearly out of oxygen, and you have what you need for the day.
You break the surface, peel out your mouthpiece, and take a deep breath of fresh air. A large boat is anchored nearby. As you swim toward it, a man emerges from the boat’s helm. His shaggy brown hair is pinned atop his head.
Welcome back,
he says with a wide smile as you climb aboard.
The man is your assistant, Mattius. He helps you shrug the scuba tank from your back.
Did you find the sharks?
Mattius asks.
You nod.
See any scary monsters?
he laughs. Mattius is aware of your other passion, cryptozoology. It is the study of creatures whose existence hasn’t been proven, such as Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster.
Not today,
you reply. Why do you ask?
While you were down there, I saw an article online from Norway.
Mattius replies. "A fishing boat captain claims to have seen gigantic tentacles reaching up out of the ocean."
Mattius’s words grab your attention. Suddenly, the beauty of the Caribbean is lost on you. You wish to know more about the sighting.
That evening in your hotel room, you decide to look up the article Mattius mentioned on your computer.
It was like nothing I’d ever seen before,
the ship’s captain says in the story. It looked like the arms of a kraken!
Tales of the kraken describe the legendary beast as a gigantic squid or octopus-like creature.
Kraken…
you whisper quietly.
The kraken is a legendary cephalopod once thought to terrorize ships in ancient times. But the giant creature’s existence has never been proven.
But the event in Norway isn’t the only report of a mysterious sighting. You find another article about fishermen who may have spied a mythical sea serpent in the Mediterranean Sea.
Another story covers a team of great white shark trackers. They claim to have evidence near China of the largest shark ever spotted in the world. Could it be the extinct megalodon?
All of these reports sound appealing. Which creature do you want to track down?
