The boy nodded. "I do.. Strangely." He muttered and smiled slightly. He got out of the ship with all of the crew and they started walking where the compass pointed. "It's fine. Who cares how it looks like." He sighed, walking over to the door, taking the compass from Vincent. He walked inside of the house and looked at the creepy man. "Waiting for me? Then give me what I came here for." He said, putting the compass in his pocket and crossing his arms over his chest. "You know what I need if you were waiting for me. What is your price?" He asked and narrowed his eyes.
The man grinned, getting up from his chair. ''Please take a seat, young Phantomhive. I'm the Undertaker.'' The others had to stay up since the house was quite small. ''You're searching for a special chest, but the fact that you came to me first tells me that the thing you want most is to find Sebastian Michaelis.'' He chuckled darkly, playing with his long nails. ''He's not dead no...it's worse than that. He's stuck in the locker as the legend says, between the underworld and our world, unable to find an escape.'' He sat down as well, stroking Ciel's cheek. ''He wouldn't give his compass to anybody, especially to people that he cannot trust for sure since this object points at what one person desires the most.'' Everyone else watched the scene, listening carefully. ''There is a way to enter the locker, but getting out of it can be quite tricky... and if the sun goes down before you found a way out, you'll have to wander around for eternity.''
Ciel sat down across from the Undertaker. "Nice name you have." He huffed. "I do. I want to find him very much." He replied and bit his lip. He wanted to cry, but he wasn't going to show his weaknesses to the man. He immediately moved away when the Undertaker stroked his cheek. "I know." He responded calmly. "So he did want me to find him. He trusted me." He smiled slightly at the thought, and he looked away from the man. "I'm up for that challenge. I will manage to go out, don't worry. Because I need to find Sebastian."
The Undertaker smirked a bit. ''I see, the question is...are you the only one who wants to find him?'' He asked turning to the others. ''Sebastian and I are friends for a long time, I'll come too.'' Bard replied, patting the boy's hair. ''Me too.'' ''So do I.'' ''Aye!'' At the end, everyone was willing to take the risk. '' Well then...hehehe. If you're ready to go at the end of this world, you'll need a captain who knows these waters.'' He turned to a man who walked down the stairs and replaced his glasses. ''Claude Faustus, I'll be your guide.'' Alois looked at the man and bit his lip, hiding behind Ciel.
Ciel turned to look at the crew and he smiled when everyone decided to go with him. "I thought you hate pirates, father." He smirked slightly before turning back to the Undertaker. He nodded and bit his lip when he saw the captain. He was awfully similar to Sebastian and he shifted uncomfortably. "I'm Ciel Phantomhive and this is my crew. Shall you lead us to the end of the world?" He turned to Alois and smiled slightly. "Come on, don't be afraid, it's not like he's going to hurt you or Luka." He ruffled the blonde's hair. "I'll keep the compass with me just in case. Maybe it'll show us something."
Claude eyed everyone carefully, his eyes stopping on Ciel. ''Keep the compass if you want but it wont show where the Underworld is, only someone who has been there before knows where the opening is.'' We'll take my ship, I suggest you to bring warm clothes and blankets. The way to the locker is hazardous.'' He took his map and walked outside. Vincent followed Ciel and they went back to the ship they had, taking as much supplies and blankets as possible before getting on Claude's ship. ''Do you really think that I would let you risk your life like that and not come with you?'' Vincent asked with a smile, getting on the deck with Ciel. Alois and Luka arrived next to him as the ship started moving. ''This is it! We're going...there's no turning back now. We're coming for you old man!'' This comment lightened up the mood a bit and the big journey began.
Ciel nodded. "Alright." He got back to the ship to take everything they needed. They went to Claude's ship, who seemed bigger than theirs and a bit more comfortable to be in. "Maybe. After all, I'm a pirate now, and you hate pirates." He replied and smiled at his father. He laughed at the comment. "Old man... That's the way I called him." He smiled and turned away, taking his things to his room before getting back on the deck. He walked over to Claude, standing next to him. "So why are you here? Why do you travel around this damned place?"
Claude turned his head towards the boy, noticing the hat on his head and sighed softly. ''Let's make things clear, I'm not a friend of his. Far from that... but as they say the enemy of my enemy is my friend and we both have a common enemy.'' He glanced at Vincent for a moment. '' The royal navy is gretting stronger and their maps are also getting more precise. If your father decided to come with us, then he must accept to receive orders from a pirate.'' He replied, looking back at the horizon and Alois shouted from the watchtower. ''Ciel! Get up here, it's amazing!''
Ciel nodded. "I see. I've never expected you to be friend of his, though." He sighed softly, glancing at his father as well. "He already agreed to it, he isn't going to leave me alone. He probably still thinks that Sebastian is going to do something bad to me." He smirked slightly. "Sebastian would never do anything too bad for me. But I might be sore for a few days." He said while looking at Vincent. He heard Alois, and he nodded. "Alright!" He ran over to the watchtower and looked around. "Wow..." He sighed softly. "It's amazing." He muttered and smiled at the blonde. "Are you still scared of Claude?"
The blonde smiled as well and looked towards Claude at the helm. ''Not really...he just seemed really cold and he doesn't seem to have many expressions, but compare to that grey haired man, he's not scary at all.'' He chuckled, taking Ciel's hat for a moment. ''I'll give it back, I just never had one before.'' He grinned, not noticing that he didn't place the tricorne on the right side. ''I already feel more pirate like, aye! I Wonder how it is in the locker, if there is something to do or if it's just empty everywhere.'' The twilight arrived after a few hours and the blonde yawned, looking up to see a few stars in the sky. ''I understand why they like to navigate so much, it's amazing.''
Ciel nodded with a chuckle. "Undertaker wasn't that scary." He widened his eyes when the blonde took his hat and he glared at him. "Fine, fine." He laughed at the way Alois put it on and he moved closer, fixing the hat for him. "I don't even imagine. But I don't care, as long as we willl save Sebastian." He took the hat back and put it on, smiling. Once the twilight arrived, he looked up at the sky with a small smile. "I agree." He sighed softly. "I wonder where is Sebastian right now... I missed him already." He muttered.
