Chapter X: Day at the Port
The large group finally arrived in Badon, where the three lords and Lady Ada can find a ship to set out for the Dread Isle. No one would accept to sail over there. But they got advice from one of the sailors to ask pirates. Lyndis dislike this idea and left immediately. Lady Ada, Lord Hector, and Lord Eliwood just shrugged.
After asking Captain Fargus, he wanted 100,000 gold to sail to Dread Isle. Disappointed to hear this, Lord Hector wanted to go to Ostia to sell anything they can sell. At the word of this, Serra grabbed Erk's arm immediately and ran for it. "No way is he selling my jewelry." commented Serra as they left. Lucius went with them.
As it turned out, Lord Hector didn't need to go to Ostia but instead, they have to play a little game with the pirates. Lady Ada can only use 8 people, but it was harder said than done.
"Where is everyone? How are we supposed to fight with only Hector, Eliwood, and Oswin?" Lady Ada questioned, looking around for the other people when Lyn arrived and agreed to help as well. It seemed she couldn't find any other sailors willingly to help out with the sailing out to Dread Isle.
"That makes four of us, we still need four more. Where is Marcus???" asked Eliwood, looking around for Marcus. Lord Eliwood is not that calm today, he wanted to see his father alive and well. Marcus was off to find more information with Lowen. They were not available, it would seem.
"Where is that annoying priestess and that boyfriend of hers???" wondered Lord Hector out loud. Serra, Erk, and Lucius ran off to go shopping and to get away from Lord Hector. Lord Hector was not calm today either. He was worried about Eliwood's father as well as everything that had been happening lately. He still hasn't told Lady Ada any of his inside feelings for her yet as well.
"Thank goodness! I found two more people!" Lady Ada cried out loud, seeing Wil and Florina nearby. It seemed like Florina is trying to get away from Wil as much as possible. Florina and her pegasi have a big dislike for bows.
"Florina! Don't be afraid of my bow! It won't hurt you I promise!" exclaimed Wil. Florina was hiding behind a tree while her peg knight was trying to get Wil away from its owner.
"Wil, Florina! Help us fight please!" Lady Ada asked as the two agreed and stopped playing tag. Florina tried to stay away from Wil still, and now hiding behind Lyn.
"That makes 6 of us now." Counting Lord Hector. "Just two more people. Where is Rebecca???" Rebecca was trying to get away from Sain, by going shopping with the magic-users. Raven was busy cooking at the inn to test his new skills out.
"How about Kent and Sain?" asked Lyndis, looking around for her two reliable knights. Sain is now looking all over town to look for Rebecca while Kent is hiding in a tree from Lady Ada. He is not taking another chance of getting slapped.
"Dorcus, Bartre, Priscilla?" asked Eliwood out loud, now scanning every inch of the town for more people. Dorcus and Bartre were off to wrestle the rest of the pirates in the building. Priscilla was having a cup of tea with Anna, this red-haired woman in one of the inns, after her satisfying morning with Rebecca.
The pirates were getting really tired of waiting for the three lords and Lady Ada to choose the people to fight. There was almost no one available. Captain Fargus was now drinking beer, enjoying this little show they set up for him. Matthew and Guy were playing tag as well near one of the buildings when they met a magic-user.
"Hello there. Are you planning to go to the Dread Isle?" asked the stranger to Guy and Matthew, who now stopped completely in their tracks and spread dust all over the strangers' books. The stranger cleaned his books hastily as if they were piles of gold.
"Yes, we are. Oh shoot! Matthew, we're suppose to meet with Lady Ada to see if she needed us!" Guy remembered suddenly and now running off to the center square. Matthew and the stranger following behind.
"There you are, Matthew and Guy! Where have you been?" asked Lady Ada, who is slightly annoyed now. Matthew and Guy exchanged worried looks when the stranger came up and smile slightly at Lady Ada.
"I am Canas. If you guys are going to Dread Isle, I would gladly lend you my strength in combat. I am quite useful when using elderly magic or dark magic as some people call it so." The stranger name Canas said in a polite voice. Lady Ada smiled.
"Nice to have you, Canas. Help us play a game with these pirates…"
Back in the shop, Rebecca, Serra, Erk, and Lucius were off buying lots of items they needed. "Look, Erk, look! Isn't that the most prettiest ring you ever seen!" Serra exclaimed, now looking at the diamond ring in the glass window.
"Not as pretty as you." Erk said quietly, which was rewarded by a big hug and a small kiss on the cheek. Lucius and Rebecca felt a bit left out. Lucius have bought 6 new books about "The World of Light Magic Volume 1-6". Rebecca bought a bunch of new cookbooks and hair accessories. Erk is now carrying four heavy bags for Serra (he paid). He hadn't bought anything for himself yet.
Just when things are confusing enough, Sain found Rebecca and exclaimed. "Rebecca, I been finding you all day. I can't believe you take my little joke seriously? I was drunk at that time. I came to tell you that I love you, Rebecca."
Sain wasn't expecting to see Rebecca laughing sarcastically at this. "Sain, I have enough of your lies. You should go enjoy your time with your exquisite Priscilla. Why did you try to make me suffer than I am now?" Rebecca looked away from Sain, but he turned her around to look at him in the eye.
"Rebecca, what if I learn how to cook? Taking more interest in your hobby. Would you accept me then?" Sain asked, not thinking to whatever he was saying. Rebecca stared at Sain in disbelief and amazement.
"Sain… I understand why you want to do this but you don't have to…" Rebecca started. Erk, Serra, and Lucius ran off for more shopping and to leave those two alone. Rebecca sighed, now she is alone with Sain. What great friends I have…
Sain pulled his head high and answered boldly, "I want to do it. One day, I'll cook better than you and when that day comes, you will accept me." Rebecca thought it over.
"Ok, Sain. If you insist, take this book to study from." Rebecca grabbed one of the books from her bag and handed it to Sain. It was one thick cookbook indeed. Sain just stood there, holding this heavy book.
"But I thought you're going to teach me!" Sain complained as Rebecca shook her head and replied, "No, you have to learn to cook better than me. I will give you 3-4 days before I test your skills. Actually, to be fair, Lowen will test you."
Sain now froze. "Test??? 3-4 days???" Rebecca giggled and said, "It's not too late to go back."
Sain wanted to prove to Rebecca that he can do it and said quickly, "No, I won't back out. What I would do for love." Rebecca laughed nervously as Sain added, "You eating lunch with me?" Sain was getting hungry.
"Sorry Sain, I told Serra, Erk, Lucius, and Raven I eat lunch with them." Rebecca replied with a weak smile. It was true, she was eating lunch with Raven but not Serra, Erk, and Lucius.
Raven??? Sain started to groan and fell to his knees holding on to his stomach suddenly. "Rebecca, my stomach…" Sain started to groan in pain as Rebecca came over to help him up.
"Are you ok, Sain? Stomachache? Oh gosh! I better take you to the restaurant nearby. Are you ok???" Rebecca asked in a worried voice, looking over Sain. Sain held on to his stomach as if it was going to explode any second.
Sain groaned even louder now, "No, I am not ok. It must be something I ate yesterday…it really hurts. Please stay with me…" He, now, put his little puppy face on.
Rebecca sighed and assisted Sain to a nearby restaurant. "Don't worry Sain, I'm here. Are you sure you don't need a healer or something?" Sain quickly shook his head. Rebecca held on to her stomach as well.
"Ow…my stomach, my head…it hurts." Rebecca complained as she ran to the nearest restroom. Sain sighed a sign of relief. Acting took a lot out of him. Sain was fine, all right but now, Rebecca had to stay with him. Sain chuckled at this little stunt.
"I wonder if she's ok. Her head and stomach hurts…I wonder if she's ill or something." Sain wondered out loud, sitting there and playing with his fingers and eyeing a girl nearby. He cannot let Raven take away Rebecca. Never.
Back in the field, Matthew was trying really hard not to make a sound. He was so close to talking to Captain Fargus. He must make it or he'll fail Lady Ada. He accidentally touched one of the bells nearby and it made a little "ring". No one heard it as Matthew sighed in relief.
"Captain Fargus, I made it." Matthew announced in front of Captain Fargus. This shook the captain a bit as he spilled his coffee. But Captain Fargus gave a hearty laugh as he commanded all the pirates to start setting up the boat for the group going to the Dread Isle.
"Thank you." Said Lord Eliwood as he started to shake the captain's hand.
"Now, we must find everyone and bring them back here to the port. If anyone finds the rest of the group, tell them this is under Lady Ada's command!" Lord Hector cried out loud to Oswin, Wil, Florina, Guy, Canas and Matthew as they started to scatter.
Erk, Serra, and Lucius have finished their shopping spree and were finishing up their lunch. Serra got up to go brush her hair while Erk and Lucius started digging into their books. "Hey, Lucius. You know that book with all those powerful spells, may I borrow it?" Erk asked suddenly, when Serra left.
Lucius looked up at Erk. "What for?"
Erk shrugged and answered truthfully. "Serra wants to see it."
Lucius thought hard and said, "Sure, when we set up our tents again, I'll give you that book to borrow. It is a very important to me, please don't lose it."
Serra got back and looked at the two boys reading their books. "All you do is read, Erk! You too, Lucius! Stay away from my Erky, ok??? Don't make him read even more than he's reading now!" Serra pulled Erk's book away from him as the three started leaving to meet up with the rest of the group.
It took 3 hours before every single member came to the center square to set out for sea. Sain went off to talk to Priscilla, but Rebecca didn't noticed. Rebecca was cooking with Raven on the boat for everyone to eat, including the pirates. Erk and Lucius got a new member in their reading group- Canas.
Canas, Lucius, and Erk locked themselves in a room to read steadily when a conversation started. "So, Canas, what magic do you use again?" Erk asked, not looking away from his book.
"Elder magic or Dark magic. I can tell you use Anime magic. How about you Lucius?" Canas said, without looking away from his book as well.
Lucius answered, "Light magic, I love to know more about Dark magic though."
"Me too." Agreed Erk. The three were reading and discussing information at the same time. Serra ignored Erk for today and was learning some more information about being a good tactician from Lady Ada. Everyone else was all doing their little things they usually do.
The three book-readers were in deep discussion and concentration when Sain burst in the door without thinking. "What do you want, Sain? And how did you open the door?" asked all three in harmony, without looking up from their interesting book. Sain ignored the second question.
"You guys all have books, right? Well, I need to know if Rebecca is ill or not." Sain explained, now catching his breath. It took him so time to get that door to open without a key.
"Sickness? Medication, is it? How is your Rebecca?" asked Canas, now interested in what Sain had to say.
"She's getting lots of stomachache, and headaches. Also, she runs to the bathroom a lot lately." Answered Sain, trying to sound calm. Canas's eyebrows raised a bit and then thought for a moment.
"Hmmmm…does she boss you around?" asked Canas, now looking at Sain carefully to make sure that he isn't the one that's sick.
"Yes."
When Erk heard all this, he slammed his own book and ran over to the bookcase and took out this big, heavy book. He looked through it quickly and cried out, "Oh my gosh! It can't be!" Lucius and Canas shut their books and surrounded Erk's book and stare in curiously. All their jaws dropped at the same time.
"What? What?" asked Sain, anxiously as all three boys stared at him in incredulity. Lucius shook his head and started praying while Erk and Canas walked over to Sain and started patting him on the shoulders.
"Man, Sain, you got to take responsibility." Started out Erk as he started shaking his head as well. Sain was really confused now.
"I guess I'm not the only dad in this room." Canas said as he saw Sain's mouth popped wide open immediately. He finally caught up to what is happening. The situation he gotten himself into.
"WWWWWWHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT????????!!!!!!!!" was all that could be heard from inside that room.
I thought I end it here. This is Chapter 10, right? Poor Sain and poor Rebecca like always. Sain is always getting himself into trouble as he runs into more and more with Rebecca. It seems like Rebecca can never get rid of him, but why would she? She always forgive him, I wouldn't. Hehe. I checked and noticed my chapters are loooong. If you guys want me to shorten my chapter in the future, tell me. I hope I'm not updating the chapters too quick. R & R.
