All right. This is something I thought of because I have nothing to do. This takes some time after the end with Hawk, Carlie, and Lise. An alternative ending where it replaces each of the character's end scene (ex. Hawk talking to Flamekhan about creating the forest). Actually, this alternative ending is really a sequel, sorta like an expansion; more like an aftermath. R&R.
A Thief's Story
Chapter 1-Off To Home
Some time after the defeat of the Dark Prince, the trio dispatched Flammie off and headed for Jad, where they all first met each other; well, technically no, since Carlie wasn't there and there weren't traveling together at first. Having to spend their last days together at the city, the three decided was time for them to say farewell.
Hawk is saying good-byes to his two friends as he sails away on a ship headed toward Sand City Sultan.
"Later, you two! Be good, Carlie!" he shouted at the last moment. "And tell the ladies back in Rolante I said hello, Lise!"
"Okay! Bye, Hawk!" Carlie yelled back.
Lise hung her head and slowly shook it.
After the pier was out of sight, Hawk yelled toward the captain.
"Hey, Captain! When are we going to reach Sand City Sultan?"
"Uh." the captain thought for a moment. "I believe tomorrow, Sir Hawk!"
Just hearing that title made Hawk shake his head.
Tenth time I heard that title, and somehow, just don't like it. Sir this and Sir that. That's for the old folks. He thought to himself. Damn! I not even 20 and they're adding Sir to my name.
He made his way down into the ship to his claimed compartment. He was tired, but still a bit wary of what's might happen when he sleeps in a ship. He doesn't want the Ghost Ship and its works to happen again. He shuddered remembering the sounds of the undead, and those blood-curling screams…
Oh, Goddess… thank her that I wasn't alone by myself. Yeah…gosh, it's been five minutes already and I miss those two. He sighs. Oh well, bet they miss me, too. I mean, who could forget me? My good looks, my strong and agile body, and my one and only charm personality. But back to my old life. Better get some shut-eye.
Wearing nothing but his privates, he jumped on the bed and slept soundly.
