Day 14

Isaac's Diary: Keep out! Especially you, Garet.

Any day now...

This ship has been sitting in this harbor for hours. Even I am starting to lose patience.....

Garet lost it a while back. He's been complaining and making sarcastic comments that are annoying everyone around him.

And he's not the only one. Lots of the passengers have been rudely stating to the crew that they didn't pay all their gold to sit on a ship. They want to get to Tolbi to see Colosso.

I must admit, this Colosso sounds interesting. When I was younger, I used to hear some of the older kids in Vale talking about it, and how they wanted to go see it. One boy had actually been to Tolbi with his parents for the festival, and he would tell excitedly to anyone who would listen (which was often everybody) how exciting it was to see the champions duel it out. I'm looking forward to seeing it for myself.

That is, if this boat will get moving...

Mia's staring out into the water. She doesn't seem to be here, but in another world instead. I cannot help but notice her eyes are the same colour of the sea.

She looks stunningly beautiful.

Ivan's Journal

YES! We're moving!!! Finally!

Turns out, the captian is a superstitious freak who never sails without his lucky anchor charm. One of his mate's stole it and hid it on a high platform. Garet told me that that platform is called a crow's nest. How he knew that is beyond me.

Isaac is staring at Mia kinda weird. I don't think he realises he's looking at her like that, but me and Garet sure can tell.

Wait, it's Garet and me. I forgot about that...

Well, Garet and me can tell he likes her. He isn't doing a very well, er, good job of hiding it.

Grammer sucks.

But anyways, Mia's acting strange too. She's just been staring out into the water this entire time, and every once in a while she sighs. Maybe she's homesick.

I'm not homesick. I never want to return to Kalay. I hate it there!

Mia's Diary

Diary, I swear I'm going crazy.

We docked in Tolbi sometime around 9 pm. A few monsters attacked our ship, but we were able to make short work of them. Unfortunatly, some of the rowers were wounded by the attacks and some passengers had to step in (rather reluctantly, I might add), but we still managed to get here eventually.

Ivan conked out almost immediatly after we arrived, so the first thing we did in Tolbi was head for the inn. With our luck, it was completly filled up, so with a sub-concious Ivan in tow, we decided to camp out in the outskirts of the town.

That's when it happened.

Garet was just as exhausted as Ivan, so he fell asleep rather quickly after we finished making camp. After a chuckle at our tired friends, Isaac and I rolled out the travel blankets we would sleep on that night. He put his down by me, which was a pleasant surprise.

I said goodnight, and he bid me the same.

Then, he leaned over and kissed me full on the lips twice, leaving me completly breathless.

By the time I recovered enough to say something, he was asleep, or at least pretending to be.

Diary, what I love about Isaac the most are his eyes. They are so gentle, like a calm river. Alex's eyes were always icy and cold, but these are serene. They beckon, and I can't resist thier pull.

I love him.

What does this kiss mean?
