TRUE COURAGE FOUND

Link walked out, noticing that everybody on deck were wondering what the commotion was all about.
"What is going on, Captain Link?" Nico asked.
"We have five Gaien galleons coming in for the kill." Link answered.
"What!" Everybody on deck, except for Wendel, seemed shocked.
"Is my father commanding the ships?" Snowe asked, feeling ashamed.
"We wouldn't put it past him." Jewel answered.
"Right now I've ordered the other three ships to hang back and try to 'surround' them when the time comes." He told them before yelling out, "Ted! Selma! Nico! Wendel! You all keep on the look out for those ships and possible rune cannon being fired!"
He turned his attention to his friends, "You guys go help prepare this ship for battle! Snowe, we need to talk, now!"
Snowe followed Link to the front of the ship. Just as soon as they reached the end, the sea was the only thing making noise. Even though Snowe was getting used to Link being the guy in charge, neither one of them could forget about what happened between them since the past few months.
From the battle against Brandeau, to the battles at sea and finally Snowe being found adrift at sea, the bond they once shared was lost since then.
Link just simply stated, "If you don't want to be a part of this fight, nobody will hold it against you, but understand this, you do have people in this crew who are willing to fight to the end for each other, including you." When a response didn't come, he left to oversee the preparations for the upcoming battle.
Snowe just stood there, thinking about what he should do: Should he go hide from his father? Should he stand up to him for all the things he had to put up with?
Snowe also wanted to say something to Link, but he was having a little conflict with himself: Half of him was feeling guilty for what he did to Link back at Razril, while the other half was feeling both mad and jealous from all the things that Link has achieve during this whole time.
Snowe turned around to see Link, Paula, Keneth, Jewel, and Tal with their swords in the air, something they've done since they became good friends, and yelled out "LET'S DO IT!" before getting everybody else ready for a fight.
Snowe started to mess those days, but was surprised when he saw the crew of the ship, and some of the Crusaders running around, nobody showed any sign of fear, instead everybody was full of pure confidence: confident in their captain, confident of their chances.
"Was it like this when Brandeau attacked?" He asked, mainly to himself. He decided to go help some with the preparations.
