2 hours of painful buccaneer training…

"Stop, that's enough", the hammerhead trainer commanded.

Daaaang…my muscles are aching, I am so parched, and I feel like all the food I ate hours ago turned into air. Holding myself up is becoming tougher to do…*sigh*. I at least learned a lot more than the other school, even if did had some important privateer stuff.

"You shouldn't push yourself like this, it will only lead to your demise", the hammerhead trainer advised.

Man that sounds like deja vu. I don't feel like talking back, I just took his word for it and walked out the school in aching pain. Huh? The sky is a violet red, I can't believe how close to night time it is. What a very loooong day, uuugh. Good thing there is a life fountain here, but…I ain't got no canteen or cup for that matter and my hands are too sore to lift. I just watch the water run down the stone fountain, I feel like I'm being mocked…again.

"Here", I heard something- Tara?

"How long-

"A while, but not too long", Tara said holding her canteen next to me.

"*Slowly breathes In*….Oooww", I expressed reaching for the canteen then took a drink.

"So what made you want to take buccaneer training?", Tara asked nicely.

….I took another drink, hand the canteen to her, and walked off. There was no way I'm answering that question. We both made our way back to the docks and onto the ship, oh gosh. When we arrived, all eyes were on us and they weren't so happy.

"Tara", the blondey said walking up to us, "What is this girl doing back on my ship?", she asked crossing her arms.

"She has information about the place we're trying to get to", Tara explains calmly.

The blondey smacks her face after hearing that and growl under her breathe. I couldn't help but grin, ha! We all walked into what I think is the cabin, and I was right. I sat down on the window seat to relax. Even with that life water I still feel aches, *sigh*.

"Alright, hurry up and tell us what you know?", the blondey commanded folding her arms and leaning on the side of a top bed.

"What she means is, we are ready to hear what you have to say", Tara said sitting on the bottom bed.

I took a moment to breathe, not use to getting all this attention on me at one so much. *breathes out* Okay I'm ready.

"Just so you know, I don't know where El Dorado is?", I said leaning on my knees.

"*sigh* Oh my gosh", the blondey said sounding very disappointed.

"Then what do you know?", the fox asked.

"I know how we can find it"

"What?", the guinea pig said surprised, "How is that possible, the place is known to appear and disappear randomly through out the Spiral"

"You're right about that part", I said, "And to answer that: it's a map"

"A map, really?", the blondey said not surprised.

"This ain't a plain old everyday map, it's enchanted"

"That sounds about right", the fox said.

"When at least it's better than nothing, "Milo said trying to stay positive.

"However, there's bad news", I said propping myself up.

"It's in pieces and scattered across the Spiral?", the blondey said guessing.

"….!"

"Hey it's something I would do if I had a map to the most valuable place in the Spiral", the blondey said shrugging.

Oh my gosh.

"Yes you're right about that part, but that's not the bad news or even the worst part", I said looking down and placing my hand on my face in a bit of disgust, "The Armada are after it"

It's quiet, I pulled my head up and saw every with a serious and shocked faces. They wanted to hear more, I soon explained the Armada's goal. How they plan on obtaining some kind of ancient power that's there and how…it could change the Spiral for the worst. They continued to listen and the more I explained, the more serious they were. Especially the blondey, bull, and guinea pig.

"This is not good", Tara said with her hand on my mouth, "We have to find the pieces fast, but…where do we look first?"

"We can asked Captain Avery", the fox suggested, "He knows about the Spiral, maybe he can tell us?"

"That's very risky", I said, "If anyone else knows about this, we'll be screwed.

The fox still suggest it, sayings how he's a good and trustful man even when he was a pirate. The blondey agreed and so did Tara, I'll be out voted in this case. I went along with it.

"Rebecca, do you know anything else?", Tara asked me.

"Well I-

"Rebecca?! THAT'S your name?!", the blondey questioned in shock, "You don't even look it!"

"Well get use to it, because I'm staying!"

"LIKE HECK I'LL LET YOU STAY!", the blondey shouted, "Since you're done yapping now, you can get the heck off my ship!", she shouted pointing to the cabin.

"I'M STILL MORE USEFUL THAN YOU'LL EVER BE, YOU IDIOT!"

"Take, that, BACK!", she yelled attacking me from axe!

I moved out the way just before her axe could hit me, it is ON NOW!

"BRING IT BLONDEY!", I shouted taking my sword out my sheath.

DANG IT! The fox and rat are holding me back, and the bull is holding HER back!

"LET ME GO DANG YOU!", I yelled struggling.

"KOBE LET ME GO, SHE NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON!", the blondey shouted struggling.

"LIKE A LESSON YOU CAN'T EVEN LEARN YOURSELF!"

"I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS!"

"ENOUGH!", Tara shouted smashing her staff on the floor.

Everyone…was quiet…

"You! You are not only going to stay on this ship, YOU'RE GOING TO BEHAVE AS WELL!", Tara shouted pointing at me then pointed straight down to the floor, "And you, MARI! I expect more from you, DON'T EVER DO THIS AGAIN!", she yelled at blondey.

She just nods quickly with a very shocked face, everyone is shocked.

"Put them both down and everyone go to bed NOW!", Tara commanded, "As for you, you're sleeping in my bed tonight!", she yelled at me pulling me towards the bottom bed.

"But what abou-

"MY BED, NOW!"

"Okay, okay, okay", I said with shock.

"I'll be back later and when I come back, you guys better be getting along! DO YOU HEAR ME?!", Tara shouted walking to the door and holding the doorknob while looking at all of us.

"Yes ma'am!", we all responded.

She left and slammed the door on the way out,…we…we all just went to bed now in silence. Oh my gosh that was scary.

(I didn't know whether to use yelled or shouted, so I used them both. Sorry people)
