It’s been a few days since the battle with the thieves’ guild. Much of the city has come to life and a large number of the beggars and people live on the street have decreased. The city’s guard has received a large number of recruits giving any of the criminals in the city a pause.

Aaron and Laee had finally found a ship to take them to the northern Island. The ship was a Caravelle with two masts and triangle sails. The ships captain was an old man who use to trade along the western coast of the continent but due to a rise in pirates had to move to new waters, which lead him to the deathly Isle.

Aaron had since turned back to his original form and was now preparing to head out on his voyage.

Riclamin, “It is not a good idea to leave the city as it is yet!”

Aaron, ”I have done all I can right now and I need to find the other chosen. Jonathan should be here to help you out if anything arises.”

Laee, “If you need use you can contact us through the temples are by talking to the high priests.”

Aaron turned to Laee, “I did not know that how does that work?”

Laee, “Well we goddesses can listen to our followers prayers and also communicate with a number of the high priests.”

Aaron, “I wonder if I could give it a try.”

[Enea, “hold on a moment I’ll let you listen to them in a moment.”]

Aaron waited for a moment until he began to hear a large amount of people’s voices saying prayers or the priests preaching or trying to contact Enea. With all that piled up on top of each other he was shocked and could not think while a headache began to form.

[Aaron, “please turn it off I can’t handle it!”]

[Enea said worriedly, “Give me a moment I’ll block them out again!”]

Laee stepped over to Aaron and set a hand on his shoulder while ne had his hands to the sides of his head.

Laee, “are you alright?”

It was finally calm in Aarons head.

Aaron, “yah I’m fine now but I don’t know how you can stand all that in your head.”

Laee, “well we are goddesses after all!”

[Enea, “sorry I probably should have told you more about it before letting you experience that.”]

[Aaron, “That’s fine and sorry I did not ask more about it before hand.”]

Riclamin did not notice anything that happened besides Laee putting her hand on his shoulder and saying a few things out loud.

Riclamin, “I will do that then.”

The captain walked up to them.

Captain, “well we will be heading out in a moment if you two would please board.”

Aaron, “we will. Take care Riclamin.”

Riclamin, “I hope you two have a safe trip.”

Laee, “We will. Stay well.”

Aaron and Laee boarded the ship and watched as the gangplank was withdrawn to the dock and the ship unfurled its sails. Standing there a few people waved as the ship began to move out of the harbor.

Aaron, “well here we go another new experience.”

Laee, “what would that be.”

Aaron turned to her, “Well I have never been on a ship like this before at least not one with sails.”

Laee, “there are ships without sails where you come from?”

Aaron, “well it would be hard to explain but I was once on a English Channel ferry during a trip to Europe.”

Laee, “you rode a fairy!? And where is Europe?”

Aaron, “Um no it was not a fairy it was a… ah never mind and Europe well it’s a continent where I come from.”

Laee, “You have been to another continent!?”

Aaron sighed leaning against the ships railing.

Aaron, “well where I come from there are seven continents I live… lived on the continent North America in a country called the united state.”

Laee, “Aaron that does not exists in this world.”

Aaron, “um that is correct you can say that it’s another world.”

Laee, and Enea, “Aaron you are from another world!”

Aaron rubbed the back of his head.

“Well yes almost all of the Adventures that have been appearing are from my world. We each came here for our own reasons.”

[Enea, “This is the first I’ve heard of such a thing.”]

Laee, “What Kind of alcohol do they have there!”

Aaron, “Well… Stop always asking about alcohol first of all I’m still under age were I come from since I’m still only 20.”

Laee, “but you drank with me at the Inns!?”

Aaron gave another sigh leaning over to look at the water pass the ship.

[Aaron, “I sure am sighing a lot lately. Well I probably should not bring up things about the real world.”

[Enea and Laee, “and what do you mean by that?”

Aaron had forgotten that they could hear everyone of is thought so he began to softly bang his head against the railing he was rest on. Laee set a hand on his shoulder to get him to stop. He slowly stood back up to look at her noticing that she had turned really pail.

Aaron asked worried, “are you ok Laee?”

Laee, “I’m fine why?”

Aaron, “you look pail.”

Laee, “don’t worry about it and get back to the topic you where on.”

Aaron continued to look at Laee for a moment.”

Aaron, “Are you sure you are ok?”

She looked at him then throws up over the side of the ship. He grabbed her shoulder and put his other hand to her for head to check her temperature. Her temperature seemed fine but she was sweating quite a bit.

[Enea, “Oh I forgot Laee gets sea sickness while on ships.”]

[Aaron, “what really!? Well you goddess seem human most of the time but at certain times you seem entirely different.”]

[Enea, “well we are goddesses.”]

Aaron, “yes yes! Laee you should really go lay down.”

[Laee, “No I’ll be fine it will go away with some time.”]

She thought as she once again throws up over the side. Aaron went and got a bucket for Laee before taking her below deck to get here to rest. He grabbed a cloth out of his pack and began to take care of her while telling them about the world he comes from.

Over the next few days they where travelling through a storm causing the ship to rock even more then usual. This made Laee’s seasickness even worse but he continued to take care of her. Soon he began to notice some water on the floor and became worried. He quickly asked one of the sailors where the water was coming from. The man told him that some of the water from the upper deck was coming down into the hold and that he did not need to worry about it for now.

Aaron went back to his seat to take care of Laee who was again throwing up in the bucket. he continued to take care of her through out the storm until he heard a cry from the ships deck. He quickly headed up to the deck and walked out into the rain. He was almost completely soaked within moments as a sailor came up to him with a rope tied around his waist to one of the masts.

The Sailor yelled to be heard, “you need to stay below deck sir!”

Aaron yelled back, “what was the cry about earlier!?”

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

The sailor pointed real fast at an approaching ship.

Sailor, “Pirates sir now get below deck.”

Aaron, “Are we able to out run them!?”

Sailor, “No sir though this ship was meant for speed there ship is a sloop and can go much faster then us!”

Aaron, “If they are going to board the ship I can help you out.”

The captain yelled from the ships helm, “Tie him to the mast and get back to your station!”

Sailor, “Ai ai sir!”

The sailor tied him to the ships front mask before quickly moving off.

Aaron stood there next to the mast as the ship continued to rise and fall over the waves while keeping an eye on the nearing pirates. He grabbed out some of his rope and tied his swords to his belt to not lose them though it might lower his movement in a fight. After he finished the ship surged again and he fell to the deck.

[Enea, “you need to be carful Aaron, It is dangerous to fight on a ship during a storm.”]

[Aaron, “What isn’t dangerous at sea during a storm!”]

[Enea, “good point!”]

[Laee, “what’s going on! I’ll come help.”]

[Aaron, “no Stay there its to dangerous in your condition to come up here.”]

[Laee, “But…”]

[Enea, “Aarons right you will be more of a hindrance up here then anything.”]

[Laee, “Alright but if anything happens I’m coming up.”]

[Aaron, “just stay down there! I don’t want any harm to come to you so please.”]

[Laee, “alright.”]

Aaron watched as the Pirate ship came up beside the ship even though we tried to maneuver out of the way. Once the ships where even the pirates throw hooks over the railings while a few of them swung over with a rope from their masts.

Aaron drew his swords as the closest pirate dropped in front of him. The pirate came at him with cutlass in hand. The man tried to stab at him but he turned to the side while using one of his swords to hit the mans cutlass and throw him off balance. Using his other sword he aimed at the mans chest but was blocked. The pirate tried another trust but it did not work like his first attempt. Aaron quickly struck the cutlass with one sword while using the other to strike the mans exposed rist.

The Pirate jumped back as another took his place. Aaron continued to block the mans attacks but was soon facing off against another pirate that was a woman. He could not gain any ground and was soon backed against the mast. As the woman struck with her cutlass she throw a dagger while he was bissy blocking the twos blades.

[Enea, “duck!”]

Aaron quickly ducked to side while sliding across the deck. He stood up as another female pirate stepped forward and the two headed off to face the other sailors. Her skin was a dark brown and she was wearing a dark green coat and bandana with a black hat.

Pirate, “Well well what do we have here a knight at sea.”

Aaron, “I am no knight! I am the goddess Enea’s Chosen.”

The pirate came forward drawing two cutlasses.

Pirate, “Oh a Templar then!”

Aaron, “Close but no cigar.”

Pirate, “well who cares as ling as I can get my gold.”

Aaron activated Flame blade.

She came forward swinging both her swords down at Aaron. Aaron quickly blocked the two with his own swords but was kicked back against the ships railing. He jumped to the side as the pirate struck out again at him. Aaron brought up his blades again as the Pirate turned to face him.

The Pirate lunged forward trying to stab with one cutlass while swing the other one down at an angle. Aaron sidestepped to doge the thrust and blocked the other with his two swords. He did not notice as she stopped the trust and brought it up under his arm into his side but it glanced off the armor.

Aaron jumped back and noticed that Laee had come up to the deck swaying with the ship a few steps behind the pirate. He blocked the next swing.

[Laee, “Aaron!”]

[Aaron, “Get back down below!”]

[Laee, “No I’ll help!”]

Aaron lunged forward to stab at the pirate but was side stepped.

[Enea, “Laee listen to Aaron or so help me.”]

He continued to Attack with four more swings but was blocked with each strike.

Laee began to chant while holding onto the rail by the steps up to the helm. Soon there was a series of lightning strikes on the pirate ship.

Aaron was once again on the defensive as the pirate throws thrust after thrust. He dogged to majority of them but was caught by two. Aaron ran forward shoving into the pirate.

Laee Launched a fireball at the pirate ship causing the ships to rock from the force. She was thrown over board and so was the pirate into the churning waters. Aaron quickly slid his blades into their sheaf’s causing the flames to go out and jumped in after them.

While he was flying towards the water his form once again turned into Enea’s form. Once in the water he had a hard time swimming through the water but continued to swim towards Laee. He grabbed her and started to swim for the surface and noticed the pirate nearby had cut her leg when she was thrown and could not swim properly. He quickly grabbed here with out thinking much about it and swam the rest of the way to the surface while being punched and kicked by the pirate.

Once at the surface he swam for the ship awkwardly with the two people he was supporting. Once at the side of the ship the Pirate grabbed onto the side and began to climb up herself. Aaron was still in the water moving Laee in a better position in front of him with her arms around his neck.

Aaron, “Laee are you ok!?”

She just moaned but still held onto him. He grabbed the rope tied to him and began to climb up over the ships railing. Once over he collapsed to the deck breathing heavily. He began to shake Laee to get her up. Soon she was coughing up water and laying on her side with confused eyes.

Aaron began to get up when he noticed that pirates surrounded him with their cutlasses pointed at him. Since he could not do anything he sat back against the railing while pulling Laee onto his lap and holding her protectively.

The pirate had lost her hat while in the water stepped between some of her men and looked down on Aaron.

Pirate, “why aren’t you full of surprises.”

Aaron, “so what are you going to do with us. Finish us off, enslave us or even sell us for a reward?”

Pirate, “Now all those are interesting ideas but I don’t deal with the slave trade.”

Aaron, “then what are you going to do!?”

Pirate, “well for now I’m going to have you tied up and dragged over to our ship and thrown in the hold. By the way what is your name swordsman or should I say swordswoman now.”

Aaron, “should you not give your own name first before asking for another’s!”

Pirate, “well aren’t you a feisty one well I’ll let you have your way this once. My name is Opal "Gold fiend" Yelland "The Fury of the Deathly Isles!"
