A week had passed since Oberon had gotten on the ship and he was enjoying it. It was the closest thing to vacation he had ever had, the amazing food every night and the endless warm weather was truly a luxury. His roommate Syndra was always talking to him, keeping him out and about whether it was going out for a drink or out to dinner. It wasn't until yesterday that he saw some of Syndra's skin that wasn't on her face. He was walking around the dining hall for lunch when he came across an area of the ship he had not seen before. It was a large flat area with a bunch of towels laid down on the ground for girls to lay on while they sun bathed, and sure enough there was Syndra laying down on her back in a bikini soaking up the sun.
Her body was something many men would fantasize about, her curvy body and beautiful hips made Oberon stand and stare. The one thing that he didn't imagine seeing was the size of her chest before when he had seen her she had always had clothes on that covered up anything serious so he just assumed they were average size but the bikini proved him wrong. Before seeming creepy he snapped away from the beautiful mistress and walked away from his apartment. He loved having a roommate and was all for it but when it's a girl who is like that, no straight man would not look.
One thing he always did when he was board was work out; he didn't need equipment or anything like that the ground worked as a personal gym. First, he stretched then began doing various workouts. Keeping a fit body was always something he had to do if you were not fit you could be slowed down during a fight and be left weak. He was holding himself upside down with his arms pushing up and down until the boat made an ear defining screech. It sounded like metal scraping against something and whatever it was made the boat buckle and move slow. People on the upper haul began screaming and freaking out. The force of the boat hitting whatever it did knock Oberon off of his arms and into the floor.
"What the fuck…" He groaned to himself. The ship felt different than before like it was tipping slightly. Suddenly Syndra appeared opening the door and slammed it.
"Oberon where are you?" She asked something was stressing her out.
"Over here." He grunted while getting up off the floor. "What happened?" Syndra's eyes ran around the room looking for something. She was still wearing her Bikini.
"The ship hit something and it split the haul in half!" She said in fear. "It's filling up with water, we have to go now!" Adrenaline filled Oberon's body, he ran to the door and opened it; sure enough, the ship was tilted with a good portion submerged.
"Syndra go into your room and get some clothes on, grab anything useful. I'll grab some basic stuff but not too much, it will weigh you down." Before she could reply he ran into his room and began grabbing various items. He then grabbed the light bag and opened the door to the humid outside air. Syndra had finished grabbing stuff and this time she had a black shirt and blue jeans. "Oil is starting to spread from the engine room, whatever we hit must've been really hard. We have to jump off right now or if we wait we will get drenched in oil." Oberon threw his bag over the side and stood on top of the railing. "Come on Syndra." She crawled up on the railing next to him and looked down.
"Do we h-." She was cut off from Oberon grabbed her by the waist and jumped off. Syndra screamed as they fell 30 feet down into the water.
Oberon's Pov
We slammed into the water, Syndra and I fell a couple feet down in the water but resurfaced right away. We both gasped for breath, I pulled away from Syndra's waist and grabbed my floating bag. "Why would you do that!" She shouted at me, she didn't seem mad at him just worried.
"I'm sorry but we couldn't wait any longer, let's swim away quick," I said. I didn't mean to be an asshole but I had to get us in the water.
"My bag went under, wait for me to swim under and grab it." She then dipped underwater. I might as well help her look, sooner we get away from this ship the better. I swam down until I saw Syndra in a cloud of red mist. Fuck that's blood, I sprung into action and grabbed her. The added weight made it a bitch to swim up to the surface, and he knew she was still conscious because felt her hold on tight. Once we broke the surface we both once again took a deep breath, my lungs were burning and I assumed worse for her since she was down there longer, but the sound of her breathing reassured me. "My leg." She screamed in pain while holding onto it, he was still holding her in the water.
"Can you swim?" The expression of pain on her face made my heart swell, but it also told me she couldn't. "That's fine just hold on tight, I'll get us out of here." With that, I grabbed onto my floating bag and began swimming away from the boat. The first while of swimming was easy, but as time went on the extra weight of his pack mad Syndra was bearing down on him. Hours of swimming had passed and Syndra who was on his back had passed out of blood loss. I need to get stitch her up or she won't make it. It felt like years had past but I had finally seen an island. I used the last of my strength and swam as close to it as I could, just as I thought I could swim no more I felt my feet hit the sandy bottom. Taking a few moments to rest, I pulled on Syndra's arm with the intention of waking her up. No response from her made my end my break, my legs which felt like jelly pulled us both up onto the shore until I was carrying her on dry land.
Once I was on the sandy shore I put Syndra on the ground and pulled her right leg away so I could see the wound. It was on the inside of her right leg, along cut that ran all the way along from her inner upper thigh to her calf. Her normal creamy skin was paler than normal, a sign of blood loss. I opened the inside of my bag and began taking out every last thing I needed from the first aid kit. First I wiped the wound clean with alcohol wipes, then I stitched her wound shut. With solid stitches keeping her cut shut I laid out a large bandage down her leg, if I didn't keep the wound clean she could get infected and I couldn't do anything about that. The last thing to do was to give her blood. I was luckily blood type O which can donate to any blood type, I put a blood transfer tube into her and I's vain's. I never thought bringing this emergency first aid kit on the trip would provide usefully but now I am so glad I had bought it.
The crimson blood flowed out of my arm into hers. I sat back leaning next to a tree and looked up at the sun. Who knew a day could this wrong so fast?
Back to 3rd person
After 10 minutes Oberon put the blood tube away and began looking around the island. It was a small island that wasn't a tropical paradise, it had no palm trees because of how for north it was. Oberon gathered enough sticks and twigs to make a small fire and began laying it all out near where Syndra was. After a little bit of focusing he was able to transfer enough heat into his tattoo that anything like dead grass would light during contact. A small and controlled fire was keeping the area around him and Syndra lit as the sun slowly went down. He knew it was going to be a cold night, it was early spring so the climate was still heating up somewhat but areas like where they were were normally around 40 degrees at night. Syndra finally awoke and let out a little squeal of pain.
"My leg…" She looked up at him with painful eyes. "Where are we?"
"After the boat sunk I swam a while with you on my back, you cut your leg on a reef. Once I got to the island I stitched up your wound and give you some of my blood. All we have to do now is wait." Syndra looked like she wanted to say something but she held her tong. The chilly air was freezing them both, the wet clothes they were wearing was not helping in the slightest. Syndra shook from the cold and slid herself closer to the fire. The moon was glowing in the night sky. The cold was unbearable, they both knew hypothermia would set at any moment. Syndra considered taking off her clothes and let them dry but she wanted to keep decent no matter what. Oberon noticed how cold she was so with a bold move that could have gotten him slapped he sat even closer to Syndra then reached out and pulled her body so it was pressing against his.
"W-what are you doing Oberon?" Syndra was blushing a deep shade of red and Oberon only assumed he was too but he kept her close.
"I'm keeping us close so we can share each other's warmth." The wet curvy body of Syndra pressed against him was extremely arousing but he did everything in his willpower to not show it. Her blue eyes slowly closed and not before long he could feel her sleeping with her head on his shoulder. Not long after he followed her into slumber.
When he awoke he was still holding Syndra but it was the day, there wet clothes had dried on there body's and any fear of hypothermia was gone. He did his best to pry himself off of Syndra so he didn't wake her up. She stirred a little bit but didn't wake up. The island was somewhat quiet with birds flying overhead in the warm air. Oberon got down on a knee next to Syndra's leg and peeled a slight amount of bandage off so he could see it. The wound wasn't infected and it looked like it began its early stages of healing. It was clear she still would not be able to walk, any movement would either be her crawling or him carrying her. Her beauty was something Oberon had seen little of, no girls back in his hometown even compared to her.
Oberon felt his stomach grumble, he hadn't eaten anything for a while, he had skipped breakfast and lunch yesterday while on the ship. He didn't understand how the ship went under, from what he understood the hull split in half but that should never have happened even if they hit a coral reef. No reef can pierce through a ships hull so it had to be something else. He went into the woods of island and grabbed a thick stick that he could sharpen into a spear, there was no telling how long they were going to be on the island so food was something he needed. Once he felt he had a sharp spear he walked into the ocean until he was around waist deep and waited.
He stood still in the water for at least 30 minutes. The occasional small fish would swim up to his feet and nibble at his toes. A long fat fish eventually swam up in front of him. He knew the way that water reflected made the fish look closer to him in the water so he aimed the spear above it and slammed it into the water. The fish swam away faster than he could blink. He hit the fish, he could tell from the light red mist that was hanging around in the salty ocean water. For some reason around 10 minutes later the same fish showed up as if it was testing its luck. Once again he thrust the spear towards the fish and this time he felt it pierce the scales. Oberon pulled it out of the water as fast as he could then threw it onto the sandy beach. It wiggled trying to send itself back into the water but he knew it was bleeding out. Slowly it stopped and remained still. Oberon had spear fished before with his parents when he was 15, not only had they taught him how to spearfish but also how to clean a fish.
Two slabs of fish meat were the end result. When he got back Syndra was still sitting next to the ashes of the fire but now she was awake.
"How does your leg feel?" Oberon asked while gathering tinder.
"It's been better." She said with a smile, she always tried to keep a happy mood.
"All we have to do is just wait for rescue to come, so I got us some food but the main problem is water." Oberon knelt down and started the fire, once he felt it was going well he put the fish on some then sticks and stuck them up so they could cook.
"Thank you for carrying me, I would have died if you hadn't." She said while looking down at the ground. "You must have a universal blood type if you gave me some of yours."
He nodded and went back to cooking the fish. The smell of cooked fish filled the air around the camp. He took a slab and a half of fish meet over to Syndra and sat down next to her.
"You're giving me more?" She looked surprised.
"Your healing so you need the energy more than I do. Now I want to build something that could easily get someone's attention if a ship comes by." Oberon rubbed his stubble in thought.
"You could build a single fire and put pine needles on it so it burns Smokey." Oberon looked over at Syndra with a raised eyebrow. "What I read it in a magazine…" Oberon couldn't resist the urge of laughing and let out a long chuckle. As always Syndra was blushing slightly.
"That's actually a good idea, here I'm going to go gather some stuff for a signal fire is there anything you need?" Syndra shook her head no so Oberon walked into the woods and started collecting firewood. He gathered the amount he felt was necessary and began laying out all of the pieces he wanted.
"So Oberon, since we have some time to kill how about you tell me more about yourself," Syndra said while picking at her nails, she was still on the ground but in talking range.
"I have told you everything about me that is interesting at least, my sister and I live in a house in Ionia, I have a master who has taught me how to fight, and I am now going to Demacia. I have already told you all of that haven't I?" She nodded in response.
"Well, what about your parents." The question made him stiffen up. He had not expected her to ask about them and truely he had been avoiding thinking about them.
"My parents died about two weeks ago. A group of barbarians pillaged are home and killed them." Oberon said, his face was stern but emotionless. Syndra looked like she was going to say something but didn't. She knew no matter what she said wouldn't change anything. "Syndra what do you plan on doing once you live in Demacia?" Oberon asked trying to change the subject. Syndra just looked at him with her blue eyes and shrugged.
"I really don't know. Probably will just have to marry some guy and become a housewife, that's all girls seem to be good for in Demacia." She went back to picking at her nails instead of looking at him.
"You don't seem like the housewife style to me Syndra."
"Why is that?" She asked.
"You don't seem content with letting this other half of you win, going to go live as a housewife is an option but you could also try to master the dark sovereign. If you can control it and not let it take you over then you will have nothing to worry about, you could go live back in Ionia." Oberon drew attention away from the signal fire and sat down next to her.
"I'm afraid I am no longer welcome in Ionia. If I go back I will either be killed or exiled. I don't put much thought into it though, I never liked where I lived in Iona. I never got to see anyone except my teacher nor was I able to meet other people." She sat closer to Oberon within arms reach, her body seemed to enjoy being close to him. "Do you have a special someone waiting back home for you?"
"No, training was always in the way." Oberon was a little red but he kept his dignity. "What about you?"
"Like I said, I have hardly ever talked to guys before because of the temple I lived in." Syndra was twirling a strand of her silver hair in between her fingers. "You must have dated before right?"
"I did for about a week or two, she broke up with me claiming I was to quiet." Oberon let out a low laugh. "This was around 5 years ago." Syndra giggled a little bit with him.
"How big of a scar do you think that cut will leave?" She asked, her mood turned serious.
"Big, at least it's on the inside so it won't be as noticeable." Oberon sat on his knees and once again looked at her wound.
"I always thought my legs were my best feature. Now I got some long scar running down one." The discontent was clear on her face.
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure when you find a guy that scar will be the least of his worries." The wound she had on her leg was tenderly red around the edges, and when he touched it made her stiffen up. "Do you want to see if you can walk?" She nodded and got into a position where she could stand up. She pushed herself up with most of her weight on the leg that wasn't injured. She took a few steps forward at a steady pace. "How does it feel."
"Like shit." She said it seemed out of character for her to swear but he knew how much pain she was in. Her injured leg wobbled a little bit then she lost balance, Oberon caught her by the hips and sat back down with her.
"Maybe we should wait a while before we get you walking again." Oberon helped her sit down then started walking around the fire pit in thought.
"Who taught you how to stitch wounds?" Syndra rubbed her palm up and down the wound.
"Master Tebol taught me a year ago, he said I didn't need to keep relying on the healer and stitch me myself. So every time I got a cut he would make me do it myself, my first few times were so crude the wound got infected which made the scars worse." Oberon pulled back his sleeve on his shirt and showed her the large scar on his left arm.
"Ever wonder why we were the only ones who made it on this island? There were a lot of people on that boat and none of them came with us." Oberon was also wondering the same thing, he saw people take lifeboats but no one was with them.
"I do actually, I saw people take like boats but I think the reason no one is on this island is that I swam for a solid 3 hours until I found this island." He said.
"3 hours!" Syndra exclaimed with a baffled look on her face. "I must have passed out because it felt like 1 hour."
"It's very possible with how much blood you lost, we would have died if we wouldn't have found this island. I was hardly keeping myself afloat." Oberon ripped more living branches and leaves off of trees and threw them on the signal fire. With the fire finished all that needed to be done was to light it, Oberon dusted his hands off then began clearing a small area in front of the camp he and Syndra had.
"What are you doing?" Syndra had seen him began clearing a random area.
"I haven't had a clear area to train since I left, I can feel my body getting restless so I am going to practice." Once he cleared a good area he began stretching. "Have you ever worked out?"
"No, I don't have a place to. I didn't ever go to a gym or had weight or anything."
"You don't need weights to work out, think of your body as its own gym. There are tons of different workouts I can do without weights." Oberon finished stretching and got into a position for push-ups. "If I don't keep myself fit when I meet the Grandmaster he might not want to teach me." Over the course of twenty minutes, he did push-ups at a fast pace. Syndra sat at her spot and watched with patience until something she was trying to ignore made her break the silence.
"Listen, Oberon, I really need help with something." Oberon looked over at her and was surprised to see her a deep shade of red. Her eyes seemed to only want to look at the ground.
"What?"
She managed to lift her eyes from the dirt and look at him. "I need to use the bathroom." The thought of her going to the bathroom didn't occur to him, and the worst part for them both was she couldn't walk.
He put on a smile and walked over next to her. "It's alright I can help you." Her face got a deeper shade of red but nonetheless, she pushed herself off of the ground and let him wrap his hand around her shoulder. Slowly they walked a bit until they were in the woods of the island.
"Okay, you can leave me here. I'll yell at you when I'm done." Oberon nodded and walked away to give her some privacy. Around ten minutes later she yelled at him for help. He walked around to corner to find her holding herself against a tree.
"You alright?" He asked fo make sure. She nodded and put her arms out so she could grab onto him. He let her grab onto his shoulders once again and then walked out back into their camp. He helped her sit down then sat down next to her.
"What are we going to do about water?" The issue of water was also concerning Oberon, there was only salt water around. They didn't have any sort of clean water to drink so if they were left here to much longer they would die of dehydration. They were already thirsty, but not to the point of dehydration.
"Nothing much to do. All wait for a ship to rescue us." Neither Oberon or Syndra were satisfied with the answer.
"I feel useless. There is nothing I can do to help all I can do is just sit and wait."
"It's really not a big deal, there is nothing to be done right now except wait." He assured her. They both went quiet for a while and just watched the waves run up and down the shore.
"Think anyone else made it off the boat?" Syndra asked.
"Most likely, there were life boats so I'm sure they took those," Oberon assured her.
"When we left I put on a pair of pants and shirt over my swimsuit, could you give me some privacy so I can take off my swimsuit?" Oberon nodded and walked ways on the beach. He decided to walk around the island and see if he could see any sort of boats in the nearby area. The walk around took no longer than half an hour, it was a nice peaceful walk with the nice warm wind blowing in his face. However, there was no sign of lifeboat or nearby fishing boat. He didn't expect to find a fishing boat because he assumed they were still far from Demacia and no boat would travel out this far. He made it back to camp to see Syndra moved a little bit from where she was before but now she was once again asleep.
Oberon stood out next to the beach with his shoes off so he could feel the waves brush up on his toes. It truly would have been an island paradise if they weren't in the circumstances they were in. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a small white and gray blob in the distance. It was a boat, he could tell that much from where he was. It wasn't a quarter of the size of the cruise he and Syndra took but it was still none the less big. Oberon rushed over to his signal fire and lit it immediately.
So that's the end of chapter 6. I have a couple reviews to address so let's do that now.
ok, that was pretty good, I think the improvement is noticeable, besides that it's interesting where Oberon's power comes from, maybe my only "complaint" is that I really wanted it to be OcxAhri, but the fact that Syndra is the couple It's not bad, it's interesting in fact so I'm waiting to see what else you bring to this story - Dark Blue Wing
Thank you a lot, I'm sorry about it not being Ahri but I think that Syndra would work better with Oberon. I plan on redoing Legend Of A God Once I'm done with this.
Love the story!
Seriously can't wait for the next update!
Good luck on writing
