(Jose)
I watched the small boats begin to drift out into the lake, or is this thing still considered an ocean despite the island cutting the ocean down into two small sections between the island and the two mainlands.
So far nothing has happened because of what I did and with luck, nothing ever will.
It's a strange thing seeing the island the way it is, its a place with a lot of faces, at night the small boats drift in the ocean, their plans along with the light of the fish men below the water makes one hell of a view.
During the day people are walking around and arguing with one another despite how different they are, on hot days almost everyone stays indoors and those that really don't feel the heat or can control or are made of first have the island to themselves.
The same thing goes for those that really don't mind being wet, when it rains, the island is theirs to enjoy.
'Does the neglectful king not enjoy his kingdom?" A woman said to me as she walked up the stairs.
"It's been a long time since you came here" I answered her.
"A ruler is a ruler, even if she has nothing to rule. The people looked for someone to follow and I was the only one left" Padme said to me as she walked up to where I was standing.
"You haven't used your throne room and people are starting to wonder if they've done something to insult you," she said to me as she flowers my gaze.
"It's quite a view, isn't it?" She said toe as she stood next to me before taking a wooden box and taking a seat.
"Why did you come here Padme?" I asked her.
Her lips formed a smile but it was a tired one. "This is the only place where no one will bother me, I just need some time to rest." She said to me before taking out a bag of potato chips and start to eat it.
I looked at her for a moment. "Never thought I've seen a Queen or Empress do that" I said to her.
"It a good thing not, those days are over. I only rule over a few people and races from the galactic council... You need to start doing your job" she said to me as she offered me some chips...
I took one and ate it"I'm not a king and I don't want to be one" I said to her.
An uneasy silence fell between us. "Then will you let them tear each other apart? Like it or not you keep everyone together, as long as their king sits on that throne, the trouble makers will know not to try anything. The people will know that their kings cares about them, because he gave them a place to call home when they didn't have anywhere to go"
"I'm not a king" I answered her.
"Then you should have never helped anyone" Padme immediately answered me.
"..."
"...What happened to all of that makeup you used?" I asked her, as I tried to lighten the mood.
"I don't need to use it anymore. What are you going to do, the expansion is about to begin and the surrounding areas are already being changed to suit the people's needs."
"Look around you, most of the people here all come from somewhere where there's some sort of ruler and for that moment that ruler is you. Even if it wasn't you, they've all gathered around those they know have power, what do you think those people will do if you aren't around" she said to me as one of her guards served her a glass of orange juice.
Fireflies had begun to fly in the sky their red, blue and yellow lights blinked in the sky as they moved around.
"It's so quiet" I said to myself only for Padme to being to talk.
"It's the calm before the storm, only those that have been in wars or battles recognized it"
I could hear Michael and Maleena walking up the stairs, the two rabbits were still clinging on to each other, they laughed as they talked to one another.
"It must be good young" I said to them as they began to walk on to the deck of the ship.
The two looked at me with shocked faces as Sindel began quickly walked onboard, but she wasn't alone her daughter walked close behind her.
"What's the occasion?" I asked them, but Maleena and Michael just kept walking until they were out of sight.
"I don't know if I have to have the talk with that boy" I asked myself, as I remembered that Michael lived on the streets for the majority of his life and Maleena did way worse when she was younger.
I called for two chairs for Somdel and Kitana so they could sit down and Padme just looked at me like if she was asking for her own seat, despite the fact that she was already sitting down.
"...I'll go to the palace tomorrow, but I won't enter that room, it's too dangerous. Maybe not for you, but for me it's a giant cage one that I don't know if I could ever escape from" I said to Padme before I summoned a bottle of wine and four cups and poured myself a drink
If they wanted some they could serve themselves.
"Captain, I want to show you how far I've gotten." Michael said to me as Maleena stood near the entrance to the lower level of the ship.
As he walked up to me, the gold rings I gave him began to manifest around him and somehow the kid began to float off the ground. I looked at the kid and called for my gate, there really wasn't a fight between us, we just spent the night throwing swords at each other, only for the rings and portals to swallow them up and throw them back at us.
The entire time the four women and the guard watched us, they spoke to one another, what they talked about, I don't know, nor did I care, I was too busy having the most fun I had in months or at least what felt like months.
Somewhere along the night, I found my laughing, as I was chased around by the kid. We played cat and mouse until we both got tired and Michael went below deck and went to bed.
By the time we were done all three women were wore gone and I found myself alone on the deck again only that the sun was already in the sky again, it seems like today is one of those days the sun doesn't rise but is already up there and will only get brighter, until night finally comes again.
The guard shifted again, for some reason I've been spending the nights on the deck of the ship more and more. I feel like I'm walking around aimlessly looking for something to do, something just to keep busy, something to keep me away from having to think about my situation.
I've kept working up until now and that kept me away from everything, everyone, they had to come to me, if they needed anything. Almost no one comes here now, the only ones that do come here are those that have already been here before, but this is starting to get boring.
Maybe I should start looking for something else to do, but what can I do when no one even tries to talk to me when I'm walking around and those that I talk to, get really nerves and begin to stutter.
But if I get off this ship, I lose my chance of ever truly leaving, no that's not true, I can walk and use something in the gate to teleport away. No what I'm scared about is having so many people depending on me and me, I'll go back to being stuck in a job I really don't care about.
"I guess I can always get someone to replace me" I said to myself as I began to walk off the ship.
It's funny never gave it a name and even now, I still can't pronounce the one it already has. I felt the ship and how it seemed to cling on to me, it felt warm, like if it was hugging me.
It was saying goodbye.
I stopped walking and looked down at the floor "I'll be back one day, plus you have everyone else" I said to the ship and for some reason I felt like if I wanted to cry.
The ship has been with me since day one, when I woke up on the pile of sand, its been with me as I gathered my small crew and now I'm leaving it behind. It's better if I walk to the palace, no one wants to arrive anywhere they don't want to be quickly.
Like ideal people gasp and her out of my way, for some reason even some animals do that. My guard followed behind me and when I finally reach the gates of the Palace, to Tarkatans open the doors for me.
I didn't speak to anyone, I doubt anyone even saw me. I just walked to a large pair of stone doors and entered when the Tarkatans opened them.
A giant room with a throne, the walls were decorated with stone carvings of all kinds of what I could only assume were gods and goddesses, thick stone pillars liked perfectly between the carvings, separating them.
A yellow carpet was placed on the floor and a blue carpet led directly to the throne, considering the size of the room, the carpets are giant. I walked up to the stone throne, it was nothing more than a giant chair made of red stone.
The ceiling was dark, but all the lights hanging from the sky looked like stars.
The moment I sat on the throne I hated it, this place was cold and empty.
"Gasp" a woman said and before anyone could say anything, she was already kneeling at the door, with both hands on the floor and her head touching her knees.
I knew it was a mistake coming here, but the workers began to gather when they noticed her and some even ran to tell everyone else, considering I could hear their footsteps.
They soon blocked the only exit and I was trapped, unable to escape a place I never wanted to be in.
(Thor)
The Amazons were now in chains, their fates were already decided, they believed themselves superior and that they were worth more than gold. Those beliefs would end soon, they would become the pleasure tools for the gods and their champions to enjoy, before they would be discarded and become everyone else's.
Thor spat blood, the goddess was indeed a fighter, however, she was starting to get tired and would soon begin to make mistakes. He smiled at that, perhaps they could help her with that and the screams began as the gods began to choose which ones they preferred.
