Ship Search
When they arrived back in town, Lyle and Rasha headed for the harbor. There, they not only saw the last trading ship left in the port - - the monsters had destroyed the rest - - but a military ship as well. Two soldiers were standing nearby. One was a teenage boy with brown hair and eyes. He had on some light armor, and held a sword in his hand. The second was a twenty three-year-old man with sandy blond hair and stormy eyes. He had on Steel Armor, along with Steel Gauntlets, Steel Helm, and a Steel Leg Guard. A Green Ring was on his finger, and he carried a Broadsword. Under the armor were a gray tunic, yellow breeches, and a green cloth belt with white cloth hanging down the front and back.
"Excuse me," he motioned to Lyle, "Do you have a minute? My name is Migel, a commander in the Lorbenian Army. We're here to conduct an investigation into recent monster activity. I would like to ask if you have any information about the attack that happened on Sheran."
"Sure I can give you information. My name is Lyle, and I fought against the monsters that attacked the town. Rasha backed me up as well," Lyle told him. It wouldn't do any good to mention the Sinistraels, some people would run away screaming if they heard that.
Migel said, "Let's go to my cabin and talk more about this. You two will be my guests of honor."
Suddenly, a group of monsters ran into the port and stole the trading ship. Another group ran at the army's boat, and burned it to the ground. Then they turned to face the humans who were standing nearby. Lyle and Migel brought up their weapons.
Rasha stepped forward. "Everyone, I'm going to hit them with a spell. Then you two can come and back me up while they're recovering. Ready. . .Dew."
Droplets of water began to hit the monsters, knocking them backwards. Lyle and Migel took advantage of the situation and cut two of them down. The third fell to Rasha's staff. Finally, Lyle struck the fourth one down with his blade. But the others had escaped in the ship.
"Blast, what can we do now?" inquired Rasha, "How will we get to Lorbenia?"
"Don't worry, the Great Migel can help you. We'll just ride my ship over to the city. It's even faster than the trading ship anyway," he bragged.
His subordinate informed Migel, "Sir, the monsters sunk our ship. There's no way for us to get to Lorbenia on it. We'll have to make a new one."
Lyle looked shocked. "But it takes months for a ship to be made from scratch. We don't have months to wait here. Rasha and I need to head for the city of Grenoble immediately."
"We just have to find the one that was stolen," Rasha stated, "It looks like those monsters might have kept it. They fled north, so maybe we can find something if we head that way."
"There's a cave up there, they might have hidden in there," Lyle added. He was talking about the cave that was rumored to hold many monsters. As a boy, he had been told about how Guy and Artea went to seal the demons in a cave leading to an island, hoping to stop them from hurting humans. If monsters were hiding anywhere, that would be the likely place.

Lyle, Rasha, and Migel headed into the dark cave to the north of Treck. Inside, monsters were trapped by a barrier that let them come in, but not out. It was a secret spell of the squirrel race, used to protect villages around the world. That's why those who did not know of Raider's return to the world were so surprised at monsters attacking Sheran - - and heading into Treck. The barriers should have prevented such an attack from happening.
After some time, the three came to another cave. There, they found themselves on an island in the sea north west of Treck. On the beach, was the missing ship.
Rasha exclaimed, "Lyle, we've found it! Now let's get back to town."
Suddenly, a trio of goblins exited the cave and ran towards the three warriors. Rasha took the opportunity to use Dew on the monsters. Lyle and Migel attacked afterwards. But unlike the smaller beasts that attacked Treck, they weren't out yet.
Migel stepped forward. "Fool, do you think you can defeat me? The Great Migel has killed twenty-five mounted riders while on foot. And I don't think you have a horse to ride, demon scum." 'Is this guy for real?' thought Rasha, 'Or is he just making it up as he goes along?'
With that, Migel charged the enemy. He began hacking the life out of all three goblins at once. Soon, they were defeated, and lying in crumpled heaps on the beach.
"Let us take the ship and return to town. Maybe we can catch a ride to Lorbenia from there," Lyle stated. Then, the trio got on board, and Migel began to drive.

When the captain saw them, he said, "Thank you for returning my ship. If you need anything, I would be happy to do it for you. Like, is there somewhere you want to go? I can take you there."
Lyle looked at the man. "Well, we need a ride to the city of Lorbenia. Rasha and I are on an important journey, and Migel needs to get back to the army."
"Say no more," the captain told them, "Just get on board. My ship is the fastest there is in the whole port. Well, that was when there were more ships in the port, and we could rate the speed of ships in comparison to one another, but she still is."
Lyle, Rasha, and Migel got onto the ship. Then, they watched as the ship began to pull away from the docks. Soon, it was on its way to the city of Lorbenia.

Well, we're on our way to the city in the next chapter. Uh, I've got nothing to say. Hate it when that happens.
