While Old Geez keeps ordering everyone to arrange them and give them each their designated place.

Mother Riz comes down as the last villager in line to enter the underground forest.

"Mother !" little Jas shouts and runs quickly and jumps to hug the waist of Mother Riz.

A smile emerges in the tired face of the middle-aged woman and surveys the surroundings to the busy people who are organizing everything.

She picks up the little girl and embraces it, walking toward the unconscious child lying in the blanket, and sits while little Jas runs to their things and picks up a little book, and runs back to Mother Riz.

"Mother read a story, perhaps Pate will hear it and wake up!" little Jas requests Mother Riz, while she swings the book in front of her.

"Pate ?" Mother Riz asks.

"Yup it is the word that is written on the earrings of him, look it's 'Pate T-trivias'.. hhmmm I think this is his full name. Like the dog of my friend, it has a name on its collar."

Little Jas pulled the ear of Dan while reading the word that was engraved in the earrings.

It is styled with huggie type, looks like a hoop but has a thickness of half inches, and in the bottom of the golden engraved a name, Pate Trivias.

(GodlyN: Pate pronounce like Fate)

Mother Riz looked intently in the earrings of the kid "It might be, then let's call him Pate. Give me the book and I'll read it for the both of you." She began to read it slowly.

Old Geez looked to the scattered but organized arrangements of the resting villagers, family by family.

'My job here is finished, then the pirates are the only problem. I hope the plans go smoothly.' Old Geez goes to his spot and picks up a Rectangular box but has a heavy weight.

This Rectangular Box has a height that will reach the chest of a tall person like Old Geez and has the width of an adult person's waist.

He put it on his shoulder and walked toward the open path like a cave beside the subterranean lake.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

This path will lead to the middle of the Mountain.

When he passed by Mother Riz he heard "Be Careful", he smiled and snorted. "You must tell it to the incoming pirates Riz"

He chuckled and walked away with a vigorous stride.

Mother Riz continues to read the storybook to little Jas but her mind is thinking something else.

Twelve nautical miles away from Spiral Island you will find a ship of pirates that is composed of 547 pirates.

The laughter of the pirates and screams of the hostages that they treated like slaves or a punching bag that they keep beating up.

In the crow nest of the ship, you will find a pirate that keeps looking out for an island with blurry binoculars because of the seawater breeze "Captain, an island! I found an island! it must be the Spiral Island on the map!"

The pirate shouts, the rest of the pirates look ahead then one of them reports it to their captain.

"Captain we found the spiral island!" when the crew member was almost near the captain's room.

The door slowly opens and emerges a man with a black beard and a large physical body like a bear.

"Grahagaha come let me see the island that we will conquer because of a little noble that escaped the net!", the captain with two of his cadre walking one step behind indicating the position of the captain.

The captain walked in the front deck, every member quietly parted apart to give way to the captain and the two cadres.

Even they were afraid of the cruel means of the captain.

The captain laughs while making his way to the front of Bowsprit.

The Captain looked at the small island far away and smiled crookedly "Grahagaha so this is the spiral island huh! What do you think about it, Eureko?"

The man is scratching his centipede-like scar at the end of his left eyebrow.

thinking for half a minute then he said "Well in the 50 nautical miles spot that we attacked the merchant ship this is the only island nearby, if the brat is not here then he was eaten alive by the fishes or shark in the sea, captain."

"Well even the sea is helping him because the wind and the waves keep crashing through this direction." he smiled hideously like he's seeing the way Dan was eaten by the fish and sharks in the sea.

"The sea is helping him? the sea must capsize our ship to truly save that brat to our hands" the right side cadre said while spitting in disdain.

While the captain laughed devilishly "Grahagahagh your right! no one can survive to my Drath Fang Pirate gragahagaha"

***

Spiral Island, on top of the mountain.

Old Geez and three villagers keep looking around, nervously looking if there's a pirate ship that is nearing the island.

"Do you think we are just exaggerating the overall situation? There is a chance that the merchant ship was capsized by a big wave or encountered a giant big fish in the middle of the voyage right?" one of the villagers states his own opinion because he feels that everyone is just too terrified and nervous that everyone might overreact.

Old Geez still looking in the vast sea "It's a good thing if that is the case, I might thank the god of the sea, but it is best to be prepared. It's not a good thing if we defend on the word 'IF'. We must make a move and see if we can avoid being destroyed. I hope you won't forget the past mistake we commit. we lost almost half our people, I don't want that to happen again."

"Yes, Chief!" answered one of the three.

Old Geez tried to exhale the suffocating feeling he felt when he found out that there was a child that washed out on the shore.

'I hope you are correct. but we must stay in this alert state in the next 2 weeks to be sure.' he gripped the rectangular box in his side feeling the sturdy wood of it, he found strength seeping in his arm.

Almost in a moment, one of them shouted "Chief there is a ship in there! it's a pirate ship!" Old Geez and the two other villagers feel the skipping beat of their beating heart.

"Identify the name of the pirate ship. if you don't know, describe its appearance to me." Old Geez tried to calm his nerves.

the other man peered carefully to the binocular and said "it's a skull of a human but have a big fang of a bulldog dripping with blood."

Old Geez was shocked to the core and hardly gripped the rectangular box beside him.

"it's Drath Fang Pirate, why have to be them! Chief let's just give the child to them, we can't lose our life because of a noble k--" before he finished he was punched in the top of his head.

"Do you hear yourself huh!? even if we give the kid to them, they're going to massacre us! you want to negotiate with a pirate! Idiot!" Old Geez shouts to him after giving a heavy punch.
