„Ellie, bring the Korton dust!“ the captain shouted loudly.
„Yes captain!“ Ellie answered.
The deck creaked under her steps as she was getting closer to the cabin.
What are they going to do? Should I be scared?
The issue is that even if they try to make me show the magic card with force I don’t know how to do it and if they can take a look at it without my consent they will see my skill [Otherworlder].
That could be troublesome for me.
The door has opened.
Ellie threw a pouch on the table and left.
She looked at me with a smirk on her face before she closed the door.
The captain dumped green dust out of the pouch on the table.
Her hands were drawing circles with the dust before I could say anything.
„Place your hand in the middle,“ she said in an arrogant voice.
I don’t have any choice anyway. I put my hand inside the circles.
She was looking at me very confused.
What did she see?
„Sit there and don’t move,“ she said as she was grabbing something from one of the wardrobes.
She placed a stone tablet with runes similar to the ones I saw on the Tree of Bountiful carved into it.
She put a little bit of the dust inside the runes.
„Place your hand on top of the tablet.“
Once I touched it my whole body started glowing.
„Who the hell are you kid?'' The captain looked frightened.
I didn’t know what to tell her.
Before I could say anything her cutlasses were right next to my neck.
„Spill it out or I will kill you. I don’t have any problem with killing someone who disguises himself as a kid.“
„M-my na-name is Fe-Fe-Felix,“ I replied fearfully.

„Who are you working for?
Bandits?
Demons?
Everyone in these lands should have a magic card. Yet you have none.
Or are you perhaps a demon yourself?'' She put the cutlasses closer to my neck.
„I-I-I am Go-Go-Gornell’s friend.“
Her face brightened.
„You know grandpa Gornell?“
„Wait I can’t trust someone just because he mentioned grandpa’s name.
But at the same time he doesn’t have a magic card.
Everyone should have a magic card.
However, thanks to the tablet I was able to see one of his skills - [Otherworlder].
He might really be Gornell’s acquaintance.
That would explain the magic aura after touching the runes.
But what if he was summoned by demons and is lying to me?
Oh no.
What to do. What to do,” she was talking to herself.
„How can I know you are not lying?“ the captain asked with a blush on her face.
„Ask her what she wants as proof and I will help you answer,“ I heard Ocera’s voice inside my head.
After the captain’s monologue and hearing Ocera’s voice again I wasn’t scared that much anymore.
„What do you want to hear in order to believe me?,“ I asked the captain.
„If you really know Gornell you should be able to tell me something from Phyre’s childhood,“ She replied.
„Tell her that when he was 14 he burned down Gornell’s whole beard.“ Ocera told me.
„If you mean Phyre – one of the Angels of Arkia.
When he was 14 he burned down Gornell’s whole beard.“ I replied to the captain.
She bursted out laughing.
„That really sounds like Phyre,“ she replied.
„It looks like she is on our side Felix, let us tell her everything.“ Ocera told me.
„Are you sure that we can trust her?“
„With your strength right now, we do not have any other choice and she could even help us with finding the angels.“
„As you wish,“ I replied to Ocera.
„I'm gonna tell you my story. I might need your help.“ I told the captain.
„I am listening,“ she replied.
We talked for a while.
I told her all that happened up until now and what I need to do.
„So you are from a different place that has no magic and almost no conflicts?“ she asked me.
„Yes, that place is called Earth.“
„Interesting, let’s say you are telling me the truth.
That means Gornell isn’t dead and his brother is somewhere hiding and he is still alive.
That would be the reason why there isn’t a new god of creation yet.
Also how is a kid with no power gonna find the Angels of Arkia?
All of them are missing.
I have been looking for Phyre for quite some time.
But there aren’t any leads.“
„I don’t know what I should do. That’s why I told you everything.“
„Give me time to think about it. I will come up with something before we arrive at our destination.
By the way my name is Jennefer Crimson and I am the captain of this ship and leader of an adventure party Burning Wings,“ she replied.
At that time I didn’t know how lucky I was that I met her.
