*Hey you guys. So I decided to change my style of writing and honestly think this way is better since the previous Volume was kind of like if I was writing a script and not a story. Anyways let me know if this is better and I'll keep writing in this style. I hope you're enjoying the story.
Chapter 02
THE SHINING LIGHT
Hakuoh, along with Mizuko and Yu, arrived to the city of Yuri that not too long ago was attacked by a Leviathan that was killed by Takashi's men. They head for the port that is heading for the island of Patch. Mizuko and Yu was confused as they thought that Vale was their main destination. Mizuko approaches Hakuoh who was talking to a captain of one of the ships ported there. They finished their conversation and the captain boards his ship. Mizuko begins to speak to Hakuoh. "My Lord. Shouldn't we be going to Beacon?" Mizuko asked. "It's fine. We're just taking a detour." Hakuoh replies. He then gets closer to Mizuko to whisper something to him. "also don't call me lord. remember we need to keep a low profile." he whispered, Mizuko face palms and looks around to make sure no one looked suspicious in anyway. Mizuko takes a deep breath out of relief that no one noticed him call out Hakuoh. "That would explain the hoods. My apologize." Mizuko said. Hakuoh pats Mizuko's back and said "Its alright. The captain said they'll be departing in an hour. I say we get something quick to eat." Mizuko nodded and they all go nearby a shop to grab food until the ship is ready to leave and head for Patch.
Hakuoh, Mizuko, and Yu are now on board the ship heading to Patch. There they sit quietly at the back of the ship and are being looked at by everyone who's around them or passing by. While Mizuko and Yu kept an eye on them, Hakuoh was admiring the view of the sunset but was then interrupted. "Why is everyone staring at us?" Mizuko said as he continues to be on his guard. "If you were on a ship with three armed men in cloaks wearing hoods you'll be suspicious of them too." Hakuoh responded. He continues to admire the sunset while the other two are still on their guard. Some of the people were whisper with one another talking about them. But they remained calm ignoring the people for the most part. As Hakuoh continues to watch the sunset, he felt a presence due to his semblance. He gets up and gets closer to the railings. Mizuko and Yu were just watching him wondering whats going on. Hakuoh turns around looking at the two with a serious expression and grabs on to his sword. "A Grimm comes for us." as he said that a large Grimm emerges from the water behind him. As it slowly looks down the people began panicking running the opposite direction. Mizuko and Yu drew their swords as they stare up at the giant Sea Feilong.
A Fireball then hits the Feilong directly at its head stunning it. Mizuko and Yu looks at Hakuoh who has his hand raised up since he was the one who shot the Fireball. "Mizuko!" Hakuoh yelled out. Mizuko, understanding the situation, then goes to use Serpent Strike. Since they were surrounded by water, he was able to make it large without any problems. Hakuoh was shooting a barrage of fireballs to keep the Feilong distracted. "Now Mizuko!" he yells. Mizuko then attacks the Feilong directly hitting it and immediately summoned another one so it can rope around the Fielong making it stationary. Hakuoh goes near the railing and turned around towards Yu. Yu then runs towards Hakuoh who squats down and placed his hands in front of him. As Yu steps on Hakuoh's hands, he pushes him up giving him a boost towards the Feilong. Yu then fuses Lighting to his sword and stabs the Feilong. With Mizuko's Serpent Strike and Yu's Lighting Blade combo, the Feilong took a great amount of damage. But it wasn't enough to defeat the giant. The Feilong looks down at Yu who is free falling down.
The Feilong uses Lighting Breath at Yu; however, Yu used Wind to push him away just in time. Hakuoh catches Yu and the two then falls down. Hakuoh stands back up and grabs on to his sword. "Mizuko! Keep it distracted!" he yelled out. "Right!" Mizuko responded and once again uses Serpent Strike to distract the Feilong. Hakuoh closes his eyes and focuses his aura on his sword. He slightly unsheathes it and flames began to pour out. Meanwhile, the Feilong used Wind Gust to destroy Mizuko's serpent. Hakuoh opens his eyes and as he drew his sword, he swings it three times. The three waves of flames directly hits the Feilong's head, killing it. As the Grimm disappears into ashes, Hakuoh helps Yu up and checks on Mizuko who takes a deep breath out of relief.
The people who was on board and some of the crew members began surrounding them and began to cheer. Hakuoh looks around at the people cheering for them. He felt someone tugging his cloak and looks down at a little girl. She was looking up at him with big shining eyes and smile. "Mister! Are you Hunters?" she asked. Hakuoh smiles and removes his hood. "No. We're Dawnish." he said to the little girl who's eyes shined even more as she if this was the first time she seen a Dawnish. Arriving at the Island of Patch, Hakuoh bowed at the captain thanking him for the voyage. But the captain insisted and shakes Hakuoh and the guys hand for saving them from the Feilong. As the ship leaves the little girl from earlier waves goodbye at the three and they too waved at her. They then began traveling on foot heading for the forest that surrounded Patch.
After a while of walking they finally made it to their destination, where Hakuoh found Tai outside watering the plants. "Hey Tai!" Hakuoh yells out to him. Tai looks behind him and was overjoyed by the visit that he walked up to Hakuoh and gave him a hug. "Its good to see you Hakuoh. How have you been?" Tai asked. "I've been good." Hakuoh responded. After a while Tai's smile faded and he seemed upset. "Hakuoh. You're father was a good man and a good friend. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you all." Tai said with a sad tone. Hakuoh still kept his smile and said "It's okay. I'm sure you had your reason's." Tai returned to his smile and asked "And how's Okami doing? After all he's king now right?" Hakuoh giggles a bit and answered "He may be hot headed sometimes and stubborn too but I'm positive he'll be fine and manage. After all we're in this together Okami and I." Hakuoh smiled with great confidence that Tai was moved by his words and had an expression of a proud father. "You two sure have grown up to be fine men. Haha I might even consider you as son's-in-law," Tai said as he shrugged Hakuohs side with his elbow. This made Hakuoh lose his cool a bit and began blushing a bit as he is now lost with words. Tai laughs and the other two who were giggling a bit as well. "Well come in you three. I was just about to have lunch. You can tell me about some of your adventures." Tai insisted. He walks to his house and Mizuko and Yu followed. Hakuoh was still lost and blushing. He took a deep breath and follows them still blushing but now with a smile. Hakuoh looks up at the sun as he walks thinking to himself about how much he already accomplished in one trip and is excited to continue on his great journey.
