Chapter Six
In that moment of peace, the strong feelings for travel and adventure distorted my very wishes and desires, aspirations if being more precise. How much I'd long for the next journey. It wasn't that I disgusted Valua or home, the fact of being able to travel through the entire world exited my very heart, I had no longer need of the word "daydream", well, ok, as soon as I arrive from whatever journey, I dart towards that word.
I felt nothing but the soft voices in my head, my fingers and hands moving alone over the clean keys of the classical piano. Memories? Simple thoughts? I really didn't seem to understand the very meaning of my constant thinking.
The air pirates are so cool… How much fun would it be too travel with them, battle with them and even tell stories with them! I still remember the things I heard about pirates in general, of how bad they were, of how they treated with no mercy and robbed the ships. The typical black eye patch and the nasty face, that was my thinking before meeting them in person, of course, the most remarked ones and the most I'll be talking about all my life with admiration are the air pirates that helped us out today. Vyse and Aika… If we had more time how much would I get to know them? Would they consider me as a strong fighter? Man! I really ought to meet up to them, one day. Of course, I am not hoping to get ship robbed again for them to pop out for my rescue. I thought while playing the piano, to be honest, my hands moved alone.
"I want to be an Air pirate!-" A sudden sneeze interrupted everything. My whole body jumped and so did my hands which made an automatic stop in continuing the melody I was playing.
"Ah! Some kinda sneeze!" That was pretty weird; there wasn't much of pollen in Valua. Two sudden sneezes in a day. I sat on the covered wooden bench as I didn't continue the melody.
"Ha ha ha! Man! Must be from the same person that was thinking of me before!" I laughed and finished with a joking smile.
Ramirez didn't take his eyes off the girl that played the piano, suddenly, the melody stopped abruptly in a strong staccato manner, the body of the girl jumped as a sneeze was heard to the outside. Even of the sudden reaction, Ramirez did not how emotion or change from the outside. He stood straight, even after the sudden reaction of girl inside the house, behind the white soft curtains. A faint smirk painted on this enigmatic youth.
"Am I thinking too much… of her?" He spoke, almost in a whisper as the smirk didn't end. He turned his body to the opposite side and walked, his deep green eyes gleaming differently than before.
"Sohee! Help with the kitchen!" Moms' commanding voice came after my harsh and sudden sneeze.
"Ok ok! Man…I was about to finish playing it!" I stood from the covered bench and made my way to the kitchen by opening a glass door and heading from the receiving room to the white kitchen. Plastic white bags were scattered on the hard floor as other ones laid on the seats and tables.
"We didn't much as we expected." I said while making my way towards the white bag containing cans of many types.
"We could eat this for dinner!" I exclaimed. To tell the truth, my tummy was already rumbling. I inclined myself to the white bag on the floor and took from the inside the thick cans, leaving them in few steps in one of the white shelves that contained several snacks and such.
"Sohee, where are you leaving them?" Moms' voice rang over the kitchen.
"Huh? But, I always find the cans in here." I began to argument back as I slid to the side showing where I was going to place the cans.
"Sigh the cans go above you." She said as a tired sigh was heard all over the kitchen.
"Huh? Oh! Sorry sorry sorry." I soon found out of my error, how dull of me. I then left the cans in their right place as my mother watched me in few moments for how dull I was.
"Mom, I am really kinda sleepy." I said while digging through the white bags, looking for the easiest things to handle.
"Hey, where is Sokil?" I had just noticed his absence, his not helping absence.
"I'll get him; you could take a mini-break you know?" I directed my words to my tired looking Mom.
"There's only few left, I'll make Sokil finish them." I half joked.
"Sohee." Mom looked at me in a disappointed manner as she couldn't resist of show a funny smile.
"C'mon! He hasn't done anything! I am an exception; I carried that over sized box and tolerated some annoying kids on the way back." I said while finishing in a quick and tired sigh. I made my through the receiving room and got to the computer room, and there, lazy as ever, my brother sat on the black comfy leathered seat, right in front the pc.
"Sooo, is her photos uploaded yet?" I said, maybe interrupting some thought in Sokils' head. He quickly turned to face me.
"Oh… Are you putting the things on the kitchen?" He abruptly asked as my eyes quickly took look of the closing window in the computer. I walked up to him and began to nudge him.
"So? Are they?" I referred again to the uploaded photos.
"…Is nothing of your business." He said in his usual gloomy manner as a annoying smile quickly flashed on my face.
"Well, I won't insist. I'll leave you alone IF you at least cooperate with the whole house." I said as my tone became more serious.
"Fine fine." Sokil stood from the leathered seat and walked to the kitchen and so did I.
The winds of Valua had begun to accelerate in a slow manner, becoming then soft breezes. Ramirez stood still, high upon one of the buildings, near the house were he had found the girl playing the piano, the sight from that point was someones' room…
Was he feeling anything? Was looking to his strange gleaming emerald eyes resulted obvious? Nothing would predict his moves or actions.
And there, opening the door, the same girl as before arrived to the light colored room, seemed that it was her room.
Ramirez stood, vigilant, not taking his gleaming eyes off her. Her black hair that reached till her wide shoulders, deep dark eyes, straighter yet bigger than the normal ones you see each day. There was no doubt, she had in her veins the blood of the ones that resident the lands of the Blue moon
Her body did not have a fragile seeming, a rather build contexture compared to a normal girl, even though, it was not bad…
"…Sohee." He whispered, unable to be heard easily.
His eyes, reflecting the being he watched, carefully…
She stretched and landed with her back on the white bed. What was Ramirez thinking of? Was he even thinking of the yafutoman girl he fondly watched?
"Man! Such a day…" I tossed my body to the fluffy white bed, facing the white ceiling.
"Ah… nothing like a good bed." I snuggled to the soft, almost feather fed pillow.
The room did not possess the same amount of space like my brothers' or Moms and Dads'. The main color was white with the exception of some paintings and miniature decorative.
A wide and big window facing the decks of Valuas' city, against the window stood my wide light brown desk, which had as main characteristic recently as the mess of the room. All sorts of maps, school books and texts, sketch books for drawing, boxes and decorative things were scattered all over. How much pain Mom bought me when saying 'clean your desk for once!'
"It's supposed to be night and the only way to tell it's by looking at the lamp posts." They'd become lighter if night arrived.
I was lying on my bed, my hands behind my head, one of my legs flexed as the other one laying straight.
"Sohee, are going to the training grounds tomorrow?" Sokils' voice had stopped instantly the beginning of my future thinking or reflection.
"Oh yeah. Tomorrow morning! Man! I'll show the trainer how much I've improved with Blue dragon in a journey!" I exclaimed excitedly.
"Are you planning on going with me?" I asked.
"I don't know." Sokil simply answered as he walked his way out of my room. How typical of him.
"I'll not think twice in waiting for you! You'll have to catch up later!" I spoke while standing from the bed and walking to the right side of the opened curtains as I pushed downward the white string, closing then the flowered curtains of my window.
"You heard me?" The girl with the name Sohee exclaimed again.
"I'll see…" Ramirez had heard and seen everything from his position. He turned his body and took few steps away from his past position, as he did, his head turned and half faced the window he was looking into.
"So Galcian, you were mentioning in recruiting Ramirez to the Armada?" A well and wide dressed aged woman spoke as she seated across Galcian.
"Yes your highness." Galcian bowed with his eyes closed.
"Such a sudden offer. We only seek power, if power he contains, may your decisions take place Galcian." She spoke as a power hungry smile grew on her face.
"Yes your highness. Our main objective is to gather strength. Ramirez shall pass these years in name of Valuas' training to become a full fledge admiral." Spoke Galcian as he continued with her vision.
"Very well. The Armada is up to you Galcian. Whoever you recruit must be of your and my appreciations." She spoke.
"Your Highness! Ramirez is here." A knock accompanied a soldiers' voice.
"I see. Let him in!" She ordered.
Opening the door, the ever enigmatic Ramirez walked straightly aside Galcian and bowed to the woman in front.
"We had just being talking about you, Ramirez. The Armada may accept in Galcians' permission a young one such as you." Spoke the woman of great importance.
"Of what I have heard, you've served right the general Mendosa, now, are you willing in charging the commands and responsibilities Galcian has upon you?" She spoke as her voice became yet more striking.
"I accept with honor." Ramirez, after having straightened up, he bowed again, flexing his elbow and putting his arm against the lower part of his chest.
"Very well, Galcian, I leave him under your command." She spoke as she made her way to the door of the big and wide room, illuminated greatly.
"I count on you, new admiral Ramirez." Spoke Galcian as he faced the new becoming admiral.
"Of course." Responded back Ramirez with a smile…
