Azur Teroso

or some people call it “Treasure of Blue”. This treasure is one of a kind. Explorers all over the world strive to find it for centuries. And now, a group of researchers can finally pinpoint a clue to find it. These researchers plan to search for the Azur Teroso with the help of Captain Jones and his crew.

They set sail and have been in the middle of the sea for a few weeks. So far, so good except for a particular person who’s seasick.

“Arrghh-“

“Are you okay, Raven?” Serene asked worriedly and patted Raven’s back to make him feel better

“What does it look like to you?” Raven told her then proceeds to throw up his breakfast. ‘How lame can I possibly get?’ Raven thought

“Sheesh, Serene is just worried about you, no need to snap at her.” Shan told Raven off

“Yeah, sorry about that, I just- “Raven couldn’t even finish his sentence then continues to hurl.

Serene, Raven and Shan are the researchers of this team who discovered a clue to the location of Azur Teroso.

Then one night became a stormy night. Sudden rainfall blurs one’s vision, sky was pitch black and clouds kept thundering and what’s worse the ship got engulfed into a large whirlpool. But, by some miracle, a few people woke up the next morning in some unfamiliar island.

“Do you think he’s dead?” Raven woke up to the sound of a person’s voice as that person kept on poking his face. He then opened his eyes to see who’s this person is. The nerve!

He grabbed the hand of the said person and got bewildered by what he just saw: the person has fluffy ears like a dog’s, fur, tail and sharp canine teeth but has a human face.

“Oh! You’re awake.” Said the person he grabbed unto

“Am I dreaming?” Raven thought to himself but the other person answered for him.

“No, you’re not dreaming. And you are not the only we found who were washed ashore.” Said the other companion of the person Raven is grabbing unto. But hearing that, Raven sighed in relief but couldn’t believe his eyes. They are two creatures in front of him that speaks human language and yet appearance-wise, it’s not human-like as they have tails, fur and sharp teeth.

“Come, we will lead you to our village. It’s not everyday we got to see disfeatured people who got washed ashore” said the person whose Raven is grabbing unto and yank herself free from his grasp. ‘Disfeatured people?’ Raven thought

“I hope the others are okay. The thunderstorm last night was no joke.” Raven said worriedly as he stretched out his arms. During the walk to the village, Raven learned something about the two girls who tried waking him up. The person he grabbed unto was Kikka and her companion was Touka. Each step towards the village made Raven more confused and also fascinated, all of the villagers have fur, tail and some even have sharp claws. Then to Raven’s delight, he spotted a familiar face, a blonde who always have her hair in braids.

“Serene!” Raven called her out then Serene looked his way and the two rushed towards each other into a deep embrace. Relief washed over them.

“Where are the others?” Raven asked as he break the embrace and looked at Serene’s eyes

“Including you, there are four of us who survived the shipwreck.” Serene stated sadly.

“What about Shan? Where is he?” Raven looked around then finally found Shan lying down unconscious next to Captain Jones who is also asleep at the moment.

“Do you have any idea where we are?” Raven asked Serene but to his dismay, Serene also have no clue and oddly enough, her compass just kept circling around which is seems to be broken.

“Ahem! Ahem!” Raven and Serene turned to the person to get their attention and it was Kikka

“Excuse me, come join us for breakfast. The chief would like to talk to you.”
