Here is chapter 2! Not quite as long as chapter 1.I still don't own MS...

Chapter 2. Boats

Ininja and Lunarboy were walking down the winding road towards South Perry. The sun was directly above their heads, noon.

"I can see my hometown now, Amherst!" Ininja announced, "I can't wait to see my friends and mother!"

"You know as well as I do you can't." Lunarboy replied, "If you do you'll never leave!"

"You're right… it's just that I never got to say goodbye…"

"I know how you feel. Both my parents have been dead for a month."

Ininja's eyes widened. "And I thought my predicament sucked!"

"It's okay, we never really spent time together anyway. But I grew up In South Perry, which is more populated because it is a big docking port. So I had plenty of friends"

At this point the two came to fork in the road, referred to as The Split Road to the Maple Island residence. This fork leads to Amherst in the East and South Perry in the South. The two headed south towards the harbor. After about an hour they got to a paved road, they had reached South Perry!

The two sighed in relief; their journey was over, now they only needed to buy tickets for Captain Shank's ship, "The Victoria"

"So, any idea where this Shanks is?" Ininja asked Lunarboy.

"Yes; he is at the right hand side of the harbor, usually secluded from the other boats." Lunarboy replied.

Several minutes later they got to "The Victoria" and purchased their tickets. Since the boat didn't leave for an hour, Lunarboy showed Ininja around the town. When they got to a small diner Lunarboy had eaten at so much he had made friends with the clerks a man shoved them out of the way and entered.

"Well that was rude!" Lunarboy said.

"Are we going to yell at him?" Ininja asked.

"You bet"

The two stomped into the diner, only to find the man was in bad condition. He head bruises all over and torn cloths, his hair was messed up and burnt slightly; he looked as if he lost something close to him.

"So is he a hobo?" Ininja whispered to Lunarboy.

"From the looks of it, no!" Lunarboy whispered a little too loudly.

"No what?" the man barked at the boys. 'You need to learn respect and whatnot!"

The two scurried away to a nearby table, close enough to eavesdrop.

"What'll you have?" The waiter asked the man.

"Just coffee, I doubt I have the strength to swallow any real food"

"That'll be 50 mesos. May I ask what happened to you?"

"Yes, but I'm not going to stop so if you're not going anywhere soon…"

"I'm not. Coffee over here!"

"I'm, well was, the captain of "The Fairy". The boat that sails, sailed, to the continent Ossyria."

"But…"

"But we were attacked!"

"By what?"

"I don't really know what to call it… thank you," the captain said to another waiter who handed him his order. "It was a great beast, larger than a man! The demon had horns, three sharp claws on each hand, a short snout, blood red eyes, wings, and a skull as a helmet. It ambushed us on a spiked vessel, flying alongside our ship, and rammed us! The beast boarded our ship and began attacking our passengers and crew. Strong Maplers on their way to Orbis tried o fend of the monster, but failed. The creature created dark colored lighting and killed everyone! I am the only survivor; even our ship was annihilated. I managed this by falling to the ocean after the beast turned himself against me. Luckily I fell near Florina Beach. I was unconscious when the natives saw me drifted on the shore. There is no hospital there, so the transported me to Victoria where I was treated."

"Not well I see"

"I refused to stay there long, the bill rose much too fast. I ended up on a ship to here to look for work."

"Didn't that monster he described sound like… what's it called…that Barlog thing the GMs told us about?" Lunarboy whispered to Ininja.

"It did! Could it have returned like it said?" Ininja replied.

"Maybe, but for now we shouldn't worry about it as our ship will be here soon. Shanks is real persnickety when it comes to punctuality" Lunarboy hurriedly said as he and Ininja darted back to the docks.

Once they boarded "The Victoria" it took off. After several seconds of sailing on the water it lifted into the air, which made Ininja and Lunarboy motion sick. Nothing attacked them on their way to Victoria!
