Chapter 1 The Ship
"She can no longer stay here it is not safe for her anymore." Matron said with such discrete attitude it even surprised her.
"I know but, what do we do with her there is no safe place in any town for her?" Cid asked turning away. He glanced back at her to notice she was looking at the ocean out there bedroom window in the orphanage.
"Maybe we won't put her on land at all but, maybe we can put her on a boat and take her out to sea were no one will find her." She looked back at him with a look of mischief on her pale face.
"But where are we going to get the boat?" he didn't seem to be very happy about sending Ellone out on a boat.
"We can have the boat built of course. Or we could use our old ship you know that one I'm talking about and just remodel it." What she had was a great idea but that "old ship" she had in mind was not in best of condition.
"Edea, my love that ship is not a good idea. It has holes in it taller than me."
"I know but that's why we have it remodeled, made bigger and stronger than it ever was before in all the time we had it." She looked back at him with sincerity in her eyes and he couldn't help but smile at her. "And I know who we can get to remodel it."
"You want me to do what to this piece of junk!?" the ship builder exclaimed.
"We would like you to rebuild this old worn out ship of ours." Edea (Matron) told the ship builder.
"Oh, but madam this goes far beyond old and worn out this ship has been wrecked!" The ship builder didn't look very happy about it but Edea knew he would not turn her down.
"So you can't do it? Oh well I guess we'll just have to go to someone who can do it and I thought you were the best." She looked at him then she looked away. "Well there is always other people in this town that can do it better." She started walking towards the door.
"Wait! Alright I'll do it but, it will take a month or so to finish it and have it ready for the water." He reluctantly said with his head held high. "I will do the best I can to this ship. " She gave him the designs of what she wanted done with it and asked the ship builder. "Can you make it look like this?"
"Yes, but that is very difficult to do it takes certain skills to do what you ask."
"But you can do it right?"
"Yes I can."
"Good when it is done call us and we will have someone come and get it." She started to walk off but turned back instead and asked him. "How much will this cost?"
"I'd say about one hundred thousand gil and that is the lowest price I can give you for something like this."
"Alright I will pay you when you are finished with it." She told him. They made the contract and they both signed it.
She left the ship builders office and went about her grocery shopping.
