Captain's log,
I do not know why I cannot get hard with Caroline but at least I can do the job right. She is truly a survivor of her own. With a crossbow and rifle, she is one of the best marksmen I have ever seen. It has been about two weeks now since I met her and her lover Kenneth, he is an excellent sailor. He with his red hair and grey eyes, he is one of the best that I have seen.
We are now approaching Centra and I see the lighthouse where we are supposed to meet with our clients. A storm and patrol from the Guard delayed us but we are here nonetheless. I remember the vast greenness of the continent before me but it is all gone with the Lunar Cry from the invader from the east, a Sorceress named Adel.
She is ageless and I know that she has her sights set on Galbadia but I cannot help but feel helpless. I heard a rumor from the underground that the Guard is under her command now and Captain Almasy is now her knight, such a sad fate for such a valiant man. Yes, valiant. He had never left my thoughts nor has his Lieutenant, who once pierced my shoulder with a pulse shot bullet, leaving a scar that hurts occasionally.
It seems that the people who hurt me never leave my thoughts, is this some obsession? Or is it all revenge? I do not know and I wish I did but no matter, the call of the seas is too much for me to shun out now and now I must leave my quarters and rejoin my crew…
Leon pulled away from his journal and walked outside his quarters, immediately the smell of the sea impaled at his nostrils. He inhaled deeply but the peace he had soon became broken as sounds of the Guard. He ran to the port side and leaned over, he could see the flags of the Guard ships racing toward them with rocket engines. "Battle Stations, men," he yelled, "Kina, Marina get the engines going, we have to lose them. Avoid confrontation at all costs!"
"AYE, AYE, SIR," said the crew in unison; they knew that they were not ready for a battle and Centra was only 10 leagues away.
Leon watched as the brown black naval ships of the Sea Guard rapidly caught up with them. He vaguely heard Marina call out to the others to fire. Leon turned to see Kina pull down the sail with Ellie, Caroline was at the starboard side keeping the making sure that none of the sailors fell over. "Keep her steady, boys, we almost there," yelled Leon.
A voice, deep and strong, sounded through the air, "Stop now, you are under arrest!" It was Steffen's voice. Leon turned toward the ship approaching them before glancing back at land.
"Ellie, do IT," he commanded to his sister, "Everyone get
toward the middle!"
Suddenly the ship disappeared as Ellie used her power of illusion to
conceal it. The engines were cut off and the ship gradually crawled toward land.
Leon breathed deeply and forced his body to relax and stay calm.
From where he stood, Steffen gaped. No ship had that power. 'So I have underestimated you, Leon,' he thought with a smirk. He turned and yelled to his crew, "Go to the back of the continent near the chocobo forest, from there we ride!"
At the side, Ian smiled at the blonde, "Don't over do yourself. Adel only wants the healer. We can't have a massacre, you hear?" Hands at his hips, the Lieutenant walked to the captain and leaned down. "We'll get him and his sister, don't you worry."
"Captain," stated a small brunette girl in a yellow jacket, brown leggings and boots, "Ensign Sara Tilmitt, reporting, sir." Sara saluted with a cheerful grin as her emerald eyes glimmered with laughter.
Beside her, a blonde man with a red jacket and jeans saluted, "Corporal Zack Dincht, reporting as ordered."
Another girl in a blue and black ensemble appeared as her ebony hair shimmered, "Ensign Rachel Heartilly, reporting."
A large dark skin man charged through the double doors, his blue jacket's medallions flickered as he saluted, "Sorry I'm late, sir, Sergeant Richard Williams reporting as ordered."
"Good, you're all here," said Steffen looking evenly at the group, "Once we get on shore, we will go on Chocobo back to find our lost kittens. Remember to stock on supplies, we do not know how long we will find them. Our mission is to retrieve the Sea Turmoil Healer Elizabeth and eliminate Captain Leon and his crew. Any questions," stated Steffen pacing.
"No, sir!"
