Chapter 1: The Celestial Star
All was quiet as the young blonde captain stared off at the horizon. Her brown eyes searched the sea as if it held the answers to the questions that kept going through the 17 year olds mind. Sighing she turned around and looked at the deck. It was hard to believe that only 9 months ago it was nothing more than scrap wood and now it was one of the finest ships in Fiore. She leaned against the railing as she remembered the day her eyes had landed on The Celestial Star.
Flashback 9 months ago:
She had been walking through the port town of Hargeon. When she had overheard two women talking about a man named Captain Crux who was selling his ship The Celestial Star. "Um, excuse me" she asked the two women. "Yes" the first woman acknowledged her. "Well I was wondering where I could find Captain Crux?" she implied hoping they knew where he was. "You'll find him at the port." The second women answered.
"How will I find him, the ports huge." The girl asked with a hint of worry in her voice. "You'll know him when you see him. My names Viola by the way and this is my friend Christina." The second women answered. In turn the girl introduced herself to the two before saying farewell. "Bye" Viola yelled to the retreating figure. "Farewell and good luck!" Christina added as the two waved to there new friend. As she walked down the boardwalk saw many boats and many captains.
She asked them if they were Captain Crux, they just shook there heads and said sorry. Just when the blonde was about to give up she saw an old man in a fishers chair in front of a massive boat that looked like it had seen better days. He wore a captains hat on that was blue which was strange and a leather jacket on with some leather boots. As she got closer she heard him snoring. She debated in head whether or not to wake him up when suddenly she heard him grunt. She looked to see him opening his blue eyes as he sat up in his chair.
He sat up so quickly that it leaned back and the chair fell with the man in it. "Are you ok sir?" the teen asked rushing to his side. "I'm alright." The man answered shooing away the blonde. The man got and dusted off his coat before looking at the girl. "Who are yeh anyway?" he asked with his voice dipped with suspicion. "My names Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia." The blonde replied before adding "Are you Captain Crux."
