Chapter 8: Another boat ride
They had finally got to the port. All they had to do was to find a boat that could take them to Alvanista. "Hmm...I'll check the boats out…" klarth said as he left the group to go talk to a captain of a boat.
The other three stood there waiting. Sara walked over to the water and looked down at it. This would be her first time on a boat. She had never been on one before. She wondered what it would be like. But she did hope not to get sea water on her. Arche slowly grinned and walked over to her. "Hehe..." arche whispered to her. She slowly looked over to her.
"What..?" she asked giving arche a weird look. "What do you think of cless…?" arche whispered into her ear. "…?" she could only give arche a confused look. "I don't really understand what you mean…" she whispered back to arche. She also wondered why she was whispering.
"Oh…come on you know you do!" arche said kneeing her. She started to glare at ache. "No. I really don't…" she whispered closing her eyes. "What you didn't know..?" arche whispered with a grin into her ear. "Know. What..?" Sara asked slowly opening one eye looking toward the half elf.
"Well of what cless thinking of—"but before arche could finish cless quickly covered her mouth. "Hmm…?" Sara whispered looking to up see cless standing there. "Hehe...umm just ignore arche…" he whispered as he quickly starts to back away with the pink hair girl.
Sara just stood there looking confused watching the two. Cless pulled arche pretty far away from Sara; so he could yell at her. "What are you thinking…?" he asked glaring at her. "Well if you aren't going to tell her. I thought I should..." arche said with a grin putting her arms behind her back.
He sighed to him self. "Don't do that. Again..." he whispered placing a hand on top of his head. "But you should tell her…" arche said watching him. "Even so. I can't tell her right. Now..." "This isn't the time or place for that…" he said looking over to Sara for a second. Who was looking down at the sea water again.
"Then what's the real reason why you aren't telling…her..?" arche asked poking cless' cheek. "I haven't even known her that long..." "I can't just come out and say it like that…" arche saw he had a point. "I guess so..." but after arche finished saying that klarth headed over to them.
"I believe I found a boat..." he said waving to Sara to head over to them. And she did. "A boat going all the way to Alvanista..?" cless asked crossing his arm. He nodded a bit. "Yes. But they're a bit of a problem..." he whispered rubbing his head a bit.
"Umm what's the problem…?" "You said you have a boat for us right…?" Sara asked standing beside cless. "Yes. But lately a spirit had been attacking boats going across the sea." Klarth looked a bit worried about this. "Well that no problem we will take this spirit out in no time!" arche said with a grin.
"But. The spirit. Is Undine..." They all looked shocked at Klarth. "You mean the water spirit…?" cless asked looking a bit worried. Klarth slowly nodded. "Yes. If we mess up. And fall into the sea…" klarth looked toward the ground. "We can't breathe then…" arche whispered climbing into her broom stick.
"Yes. Game over. So we have to be very carefully doing so..." they all nodded to each other. They need to get to the other side. Even those it wouldn't be easy with the water spirit acting up.
Klarth when to tell the captain of the boat; then they all said they would help protect the boat from the water spirit. Even so, it wasn't going to be easy.
The captain told them to get items like gels. For the up coming battle. As well as any other items they would need. Arche told cless to ask Sara to go shop him with. He knew it was a good idea maybe he could get to know her a bit better.
"Umm…Sara..?" he whispered watching her look at the sea water. "Hmm yes cless…?" she asked slowly looking up to him with her blueish eyes. "Do you want to go with me to get items for the trip…?" he whispered rubbing the back of his head. She slowly nodded to him, "sure…cless…" she said stepping away from the water.
They stop in front of a store. "What items should we get..?" she asked looking up at him. He found him self sweating some. "Well some apple and orange gels…" "Some Panaceas…" he said placing a hand under his chin. "Hmm should we look at weapon and armor store as well…?" she asked watching him.
He nodded to her. "That a good idea..." they slowly enter the item store. Cless when up to the counter to get some apple and orange gels as Sara waited. She looked around the store a bit. She still found it weird being in the past. Even those she had been here for a bit now. Even those she really didn't want too.
She slowly let out a sigh looking at some flare bottles that were on sale. She then felt something rubbing her butt. She let out a small yell as she turned around to find two men standing there.
"Huh…?" she asked looking at them grinning at her. She started to become worried. They kept looking up and down. She back up to a self behind her. "Whoa. She a looker..." one of the men said. The other one nodded to him. "That she really is..." they said stepping a bit closer to her. "W…what…?" she whispered watching the men. They started to laugh a bit as they step even closer.
Cless had just finished buying the items for they're trip. He picks up the bag. "Hey...Sara I finished...u—" but he stop seeing two guys had surrounded her. "…" cless quickly drop the bag and started toward them.
"Get away you sicko!" she yelled punching at them. "Hehe sorry no can do…" the said grabbing into one of her arms. "The boss will like this one..." as the other one when to grab her other arm. He felt someone kick him in the back. "Ugh...what the hell..?" the guy whispered falling into his knees.
The other one turn to find a swordsman standing there. "Cless..!" Sara said as a smile appeared on her face. "Let go of my friend now…!" cless yelled pulling out his sword. "Damnit…" the guy whispered quickly letting go of her. She started to fall forward. "Ahh..!" she whispered as cless held his arms out catching her. They watched the two men run out of the store.
"What…was that about…?" cless whispered watching the door slowly close. "Umm..." cless blinked and looked down at her to find her blushing. He quickly stood her up. "Umm…you alright…?" she slowly nodded looking away. "Y-yes. Thank you cless…" he nodded rubbing the back of his head.
"n-no…problem…" he when over to grab the bag he dropped; He nodded to her, "we should head for the ship now…" she slowly smiled taking a hold into his free hand. He blushed a bit as they left the item store. "Cless…did you mean what you said…back there…?" she asked him as they started toward the port.
"What I said…?" he asked looking confused at her. "Yes. You called me a friend…" he stop walking and nodded to her. "Yes…I did mean it…" he said with a smile. He watched her giggle a bit. Her first time in her life; She had another friend beside her cousin mint.
He like seeing her happy like this, Even if it was the first time he saw her happy. He wished to see her happy all the time. They were still holding hands as they enter the port area. Arche had a huge grin on her face as she ran up to them. "Looks like it when well…" she said looking at cless.
Sara could only look confused at the half elf. "Huh…?" she asked letting go of cless' hand. "Hehe..." the half elf started to circle around Sara. "…?" she wondered what the hell arche was doing. "Arche...stop that we should get to the boat…" cless said shaking his head watching the pink hair girl.
"Aww...your no fun…" yelled as she grab a hold into Sara's hand pulling her to the port where they're boat was waiting. As cless slowly followed them shaking his head still; it looked like klarth had just finished telling the captain.
"Oh good timing…" klarth said turning to the group. "Everything is ready then…?" cless asked placing a hand on his sword holder. Klarth slowly nodded to him, "yes. The captain willing to go 50 gold per person…" klarth answered him. It was the lowest he could get the price for them.
Cless couldn't believe they had to pay money to ride a boat. Especially after all they had done for the world. "I guess it can't be helped…" cless nodded to klarth to hand the money over. And he did. They're four people in there group. Meaning 200 gold total.
Good thing they had a bit of traveling money. "Very good then…please go aboard..." The captain said as the group did so. A worker on the boat kicked the walk way off the boat. "Let's cast off!" the captain yelled as the boat workers started to get everything ready.
Before they knew it they left port. But that was the easy part. The hard part would be when they had to go face to face with the spirit of water Undine.
"So where does undine normally attack…?" klarth asked standing beside the captain. "Normally she has been seen attacking in the middle of the sea. It will take us about two to three hours to get there…" The captain as he slowly walked away from the summoner.
Klarth slowly headed over to the group. "We have sometime for now…" "We should sure rest up for now…" klarth said walking over to the side of the boat taking a seat. The other three nodded to each other.
Arche grinned a bit running over to the back of the boat. "Hey Sara come over here…!" arche called to her waving her hand. "…?" she looked confused as she slowly walked over to arche. Cless had a feeling arche was up something and followed her.
"Stop!" arche said holding a hand out in front of cless. "No boys!" she yelled grabbing into Sara hand and pulling her to the back of the boat. He truly knew she was up something now.
"Girl talk huh…?" klarth asked grinning at him. "Girl talk from arche can't be good…" cless whispered sitting beside klarth. Klarth couldn't help but nod to him knowing it was true.
She wondered what arche really wanted. Arche hadn't said a word to her. Arche was just staring down at the sea. She did as well. She loved watching the sea water past by. She felt a smile slowly appear on her face. She quickly looked up from the water because she felt like something was watching her.
She found arche looking at her with a grin on her face. "What…?" she asked giving arche a confused look. "Did you and cless have a good time shopping…?" she asked moving a bit closer.
"Umm I guess aside from those two guys. That surrounded me…" she whispered looking at arche. "Oh…did cless save you…?" she asked placing an arm around Sara's shoulder. "Umm…yea…?" she whispered still giving arche a weird look. She wondered why she was being so nosey.
"Hehe it like he your knight or something…" she glared at arche as she pushed her off. "It nothing like that. He was just being a nice guy…!" arche started to giggle watching her. She couldn't believe her. Arche thought there was something more? How could they're be? She hasn't even known him that long. Anyways she wouldn't want him that close.
Especially because of what she is. She couldn't let anyone be close to her. She would just end up hurting them in the long run. She slowly closed her eyes getting lost her in thoughts. She started to think of her mother. Her kind hearted mother who was no longer around. "Mother…" she whispered thinking of the song she would always sing to her when she was little.
" mahiru no sora tsuki ga anata no me wo sarau zutto matteta kono toki..." she whispered singing to her self as the other quickly looked over to her. "Sara…?" arche whispered watching her sing. She had never thought a song like this before. Klarth and cless turned toward the two girls listening as well. "mou namida owaraseru yoake ni." She kept singing as she places her hands over her chest by her heart.
"She had some voice…" klarth whispered cless slowly nodded to him. "Yea...she does…" but cless knew this wasn't a song of happness for her. It was a song of sadness. "mabuta tokeru hizashi tooi asu no kioku koko ni mezame no toki oriru..." cless remembered hearing her sing this the night before they left for the past.
He also remembers hearing her break down after she finished the song. But he knew she partly needed to sing it. Even if it did make her feel great sadness. "mitsukete Your dream koware kaketa toki ni umoreta sono chikara ni kizuite…" Arche just stood there watching as tears started from Sara's eyes. "Sara…" arche whispered quietly she wanted to hear the song. But part of her didn't at the same time.
"mitsukete your dream doko e itemo kikoeteru omoi tsutai Kiss Kiss Kiss..." Sara finished as she fell into her knees. "Mother…" she whispered covering her face with her hands. She couldn't finish the next part of the song. It took so much out on her to do this much.
She slowly stood up she could feel the tears rolling down her cheeks. She quickly ran pass the others and into the boat's pub. "Sara…" cless whispered watching her run past him. Klarth never heard a song like that before. But he saw out books that had a song like that. But if it was that old how could this girl know it…?
Arche ran up behind cless pushing him a bit. "What are you waiting for? Go after her!" arche said with a wink. "Arche…now isn't the time for that…" "She upset right now…" arche couldn't believe she just heard that. "Then now is a great time!" "You can try to help her feel better…" arche said pushing him closer to the door.
"Alright...alright…!" he yelled somewhat entering. "I don't understand…" klarth whispered placing a hand under his chin. "Don't worry!" "Cless will take care of her!" arche said standing beside klarth now. "No it isn't it…" "It that song…it from times even before this time…" "How would that girl know a song like that…?" he asked looking to arche only to get a weird look in return.
