The town of Nami was once a 

beautiful trading port, with 

gardens, rivers, and a lovely 

bay with plenty of fish. People 

all over Greece came to see 

the magnificent city.

But then one day 

when Athens 

became the Capitol 

of the empire, and 

was even grander 

than Nami...

 People stopped going to Nami, 

which meant less drachmas, which 

meant the Greek Empire had to 

shut them down. The townspeople 

ran out of water, and their crops 

started to die. Even the fish left the 

bay. Nami was headed into a 

famine. 

Sue was only a young 

girl when the Great 

Nami Famine started, 

and hardly remembers 

the golden days of 

Nami. She wore a blue 

robe and had long, 

brown hair. Sue lived 

with her Granddad in a 

small hut, since her 

Mother had died years 

ago from dehydration. 

Sue had never met her 

father, but her 

Granddad said it was 

best if she didn't know.  

Too many 

people were 

starving and 

dehydrating. 

Sue had 

always had 

an Idea to 

save the 

town, but 

the 

townsfolk 

shot it down.

One day when 

Sue was 

attempting to 

fish, town 

messenger 

Haldaen 

rushed to the 

girl and stated 

" Your 

Grandfather 

would like to 

see you" 

"Oh Boy" Sue mumbled   "What is it this time" Stomping 

on the squishy sand of the seashore, Sue approached 

her Grandfathers house and marched in and screamed " 

What now, Pop?!?!" "Whoa there, sweetheart, whats 

the matter" the old man said. "Whats th- ughhh, never 

mind" Sue moaned " Why'd you call me here, anyway?" 

" I have a plan!" He stated. "It will save Nami!" 

"Another one?" Sue said. "Remember what happened to 

the last 17 ones?" " Yes, yes, far too well... but this 

ones full proof!" "But Granddad, i have a plan too!" " 

Calm down Sue, this plan will work. It involves you" " 

But! Fine. What do i do, anyway?" " Convince Poseidon 

to give us water" " WHAT!?!? That's crazy! He would 

never agree, and that's a mans job, not a girls" " Oh, 

but young Sue, I have something to tell you. Poseidon 

is your Father"

Angered and 

astonished at 

the same time, 

Sue headed 

off. Sue stood 

atop of the 

town hill and 

took one last 

glimpse of the 

once beautiful 

town of Nami, 

and headed off 

on her 

journey.

Once Sue made it to the shore, she instantly though 

"Great, now how am I gonna get out there into the 

sea?" "I know how" a mysterious voice from the 

shadows said. " I sell floating, wooden boards for 150 

Drachmas. Paddle on em for a while, and you'll get 

out there in no time" Sue wasn't sure about this. The 

man had a long neck, long legs, a long body, and was 

yellow with brown spots, and carved into all his 

boards said " Girf Co." " Wood Board trafficking is 

illegal in this part of Greece, but they are pretty 

useful." Sue had no other choice but to buy the 

board, and started to paddle out to sea. At the last 

second, the giraffe man yelled " whatever you do, 

don't sta-" The voice faded away into the sea.

Sue paddled and paddled and 

paddled until the shore was like 

an ant from a mile away. But 

suddenly, Sue saw a dark, giant 

cloud ahead, and decided it was 

no hope and turned back. But 

she was getting sucked into a 

whirlpool! " I'm gonna die" she 

thought. She tumbled off the Girf 

Co. board as it got sucked down. 

Sue knew the same would 

happen to her. She took one last 

deep breath of air, and got 

sucked down into the dark depths 

of the sea.

Deeper in the depths of the 

sea she got, as her ears 

popped, her bones popped, 

and her chances of survival 

popped. "Surely I'm gonna die" 

she thought. "Wait! I'm a 

daughter of Poseidon! I can 

breath underwater!" She 

inhaled a big gulp as her lungs 

filled with water. Her lungs 

shut down. Her muscles shut 

down. Her Brain shut down. 

Her Heart shut down.

Sue woke up in a grand palace, titanic in 

size, with beautiful vases, a chandelier, 

and light blue brick everywhere.   A large 

man stood before, and Sue instantly knew 

it was Poseidon. " Sue, my young lad! I 

remember you well! Why have you come 

here?" " Well, um, your highness, sir." 

Sue squealed. " My Grandfather would 

like some freshwater for our dying town." 

" Anything, for a s- daughter of a god!" 

The man said. " Thank you so much kind 

sir!" Sue said as she pranced around the 

palace... until she knocked over 

Poseidon's Trident, blasting holes in the 

ceiling.
