Chapter 7 ~ Suver Rides a Wave ~ Pt. 2

My eye narrowed, the gold blood flowing through my veins charged with my magical essence pushing in overdrive. Dum Dum. Dum Dum. My heart thoomed heavily in my chest, the force of the Magyk pumping in force. With a pull on the force within, the magic that is here and yet not, my vision gave birth to a new form, one capable of seeing the island in the distance.

`Huh. ` `Well would you look at that` , some of my powers are coming back.

I leaned over the edge of the ship looking down the charcoal hull to the waters below. To the side of the ship idly jumping in the water was my most beheld friend in the world.

Peeps the dolphin.

“Hey Peeps!" I yelled. " More of my strength is returning. Crazy right? “

“Squeak.”

The dolphin below did a small jump and smacked his tail then launched a spout of water into the air before submerging himself.

`Huh.` `Wonder what's sweating him.`

My eyes turned away from Peeps and unto Lysa, who sat cross legged on the deck reading a scroll.

The navigator's garb was different now. She wore a more revealing outfit in the face of the summer sun , a red fabric that was wrapped around her from her left shoulder. Her legs slightly more revealed due to the tear she had torn down her warriors hakama. She looked quite fine.

Her face raised and she looked towards me, "What are you looking at Captain. "

I blinked. I hadn't realized I’d been staring. I considered my answer, my head falling into my hand consideringly. I looked up.

“ You have an appealing figure for a human. “

Lysa frowned. “Thank you, “ She said, tilting her head to the left. Her frown deepened. “I suppose.” She said tilting her head to the right. Then she sighed. “Is that all you wanted, Captain?.”

“Actually no,” I pointed ahead. "I've spotted an island." Lysa got up at once, looking to the sun to determine its direction and whatever other navigator things she had begun to do. She turned to me. “How were you able to find it?” She seemed focused, anticipation filled her eyes.

“I just looked really hard.”

Her shoulders drooped. “ Now the captain can see better than me;” she said, sighing. “I don't think I’ll be able to do this Captain. If we are to continue on and I'm actually to find a route to my homeland. We’ll need that lens “

I was puzzled.

“What do you mean? As soon as you said we needed one, I said "set sail to the nearest island with a volcano.”

“How does that help us?”

“Squeak!”

“ Ah there you are Peeps. “

A spout of water went into the air.

“Ah I see. So you still hold a grudge against them huh Peeps. “

Lysa interjected. “I’m confused. What am I missing here? What is Peeps mad at an island with a volcano for, Suver? And how exactly does this island help us find a telescope?"

“Well that's easy.” Anticipation flooded my soul as I spoke the answer.

“An island with a volcano has fire spirits.”
