Suver The Leviathan - Chapter 5- Wearing Clothes

"Captain, I think you should wear clothes. "

"What are you saying Lyssa , leviathans don't wear clothes."

"You're a human now. "

"What was that. "

"You're a human male now."

"I'm sorry I can't hear you. "

"I won't sail with you if you don't wear clothes. "

"Ahh c'mon Lysa . "

"Sexual harassment. "

"Leviathans can't commit sexual harassment."

"Sexual harassment. "

"......................"

"Sexual harassment."

".......Alright. You win." I looked over the boats edge . "Hey peeps ! "Can you throw some clothes up here!'

"Squeak. "

"I know I could get them but I almost drowned a minute ago buddy. Help me out. "

Peeps made a sound between a squeakkk and a squankkk. Then dived into the water below.

"You can talk to him huh. " Lysa observed. "Can he talk back? "

"He can, just did a moment ago , didn't you hear ? "

Lysa tilted her head in a question.

"I guess they don't teach sea folk tongue in your empire." My head was put in my chin as I pondered our situation. The hierarchy was already breaking down if the vice captain couldn't speak to the navigator.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

I shrugged . It would be fine, I supposed.

"He speaks in his own way, you could learn from him if he takes to you. "

"Learning dolphin. How mysterious. "

"The seas all about mysteries. "

Lysa laughed lightly. "You're right about that." Then she frowned. "You're still naked captain. ".

It was then that my clothes landed with a splosh. It was the red and black garb of a fallen soldier.

I took the black outer wear and the boots and threw the red back into the ocean. Suver the leviathan didn't wear red.

I grappled the wet clothes and pulled them on. The boots clomped easily unto my feet. I adjusted the length of my toes to make them more snug.

"Their navigator. "

"Sexual harassment. "

"How!??"

Lysa chuckled again , this time Peeps joining her. A second later I did as well. We laughed for a while , the boat swaying slightly and the birds cawing along. Until-

"Hisssss!!"

Steam gathered into the air and flowed under the two billowing sails the ship still possessed. One was knocked down courtesy of my water whip, but the two remaining seemed to work fairly well. The steam from the orb picking them up and pushing them forward.

"Hahahaha. Let us be off. "

"Squeak . "

"Where too captain ? "

"To your homeland Lysa , the land of !- what is your homeland Lysa?"

"The land of fire and steel. "

"The Land of fire and Steel ! " I echoed .

"Where is that Lysa ? "

Lysa reached inside her pants pocket and popped out a small black box wrapped in old sea beaten leather. She plopped it open and the dial inside spun around as she turned her body. "West. she said finally,

"West, 7,850 leagues away. "

"West , 7,850 leagues away. " I echoed . "7,850 leagues away " I spluttered when the words registered. "You sailed that far to get me? "

Lysa nodded. "We did. Took almost a year and a half's time."

"A year and a half. " I said incredulous.

Then I scratched my head. What type of Warlord sent a captain with a butterfly sword almost a third of the way across the world to free a leviathan.

"Your master is a buffoon. "

Lysa went still at that , then chuckled. Her smile fell away shortly after.

"It was a suicide mission. "

"........"

".....Squeak. "

"Indeed. "

"What did he say. "

"He said sounds like one hell of a story. "

"Would you like to hear? "

"I would. "

"Squeak."

And so Lysa began to tell us of her homeland.
