Chapter 14 – Setting Sail

The cool morning air swept through the quite village. The sun had just peeked over the horizon bathing the village in a rich golden glow, not many clouds laced the sky but the few that where the rays made the clouds seem like they were solid objects hovering in the sky.

Envy marched through the village disturbing the peaceful atmosphere. Few and far between he banged on the hut doors, waking up the people that were leaving with him, he had warned them the previous night that they were setting out to sea early.

Slowly hut doors opened. Roy walked out of a hut wearing a pair of plain black pants and slipping an arm through the t-shirt armhole. His hair was a mess pointing in all different directions and a sleepy look in his eye.

Riza looked like she was use to waking up this early and looking like she always did, hair pulled back into a neat pony tail, completely dressed and immediately by Roy's side.

Havoc and Hughes looked similar to Roy but they had actually come out with a top completely on.

Envy stopped in front of the last door he had to knock on, he smirked and shoved the door open. A big lump could be seen in the middle of the bed. He sneaked in and jumped on the lump, the lump frantically tried to push the attacker away.

Envy yanked the covers off the bed, exposing a half naked Edward. He lunged at Edward, covering his mouth with his hand.

"Shhh!!" Envy placed a finger against his lips, indicating for Edward to keep quiet unless he wanted to wake the whole village and the other that lay on a mat in the very corner of the small hut.

Edward crawled off the bed, finding a pair of pants and a t-shirt and yanked them on quickly and quietly.

Envy slid off the bed and out the door, grabbing Edward's hand and leading him out. He walked through the village, the trees and across the shore.

A big ship sat anchored in the ocean a fair way from the shore.

Envy watched a small row boat paddling out to the ship, the boat held four of his crew members including the one person rowing. They stopped at a rope ladder at the side and they each climbed up but one stayed and rowed back to shore.

Envy and Roy had handpicked ten people they could trust to go. It was actually pretty easy to pick.

Just as the boat took out the last of the crew to the ship, Envy pulled Edward down the shore. They waited for the boat to return.

They both kept silent and stared at the glittering ocean as the boat headed back towards them.

"Captain and his small side-kick ready!!" Roy yelled as the boat hit the shallow waters.

Edward's face hardened and leapt at Roy, extending his arm and punching Roy across the cheek as hard as he possibly could. "WHO YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT HE'S UNABLE TO FOLLOW HIS WON FUCKING CAPTAIN!!!"

Envy laughed watching Roy fly over the side, and Edward laughing madly standing on the two wooden long seats in the boat. Envy jumped into the boat and took the two paddles in his hands and started rotating his arms in circles moving the boat towards the ship.

Roy had to quickly flop into the boat before he got left behind.

Edward glanced all round the ship, there was plenty of space, he thought they could have brought a few more people but he was happy with the people Envy and Roy had picked. They felt closer to him somehow, over his few weeks of being here.

Riza was up on the top deck, standing next to Roy, giving him orders.

Wrath had attached himself to Sloth's leg apparently being scared of the swaying of the ship in the cool morning breeze.

Hughes, Havoc and Armstrong strolled round the deck like they didn't have a care in the world. That this voyage was some kind of vacation.

Edward guessed where he would find Gluttony and Lust was sure to be near by somewhere.

And last was Izumi, hanging over the side of the ship looking sick as a dog.

Edward felt the ship to be fascinating, he had never been on a ship this big before (that he could remember anyway). There was a Captain's cabin just under the top deck, a basement type thing under the main deck that held all their supplies and where the crew would be sleeping. The main deck was huge, with three masts in a single line in the centre of the ship. The middle one was the tallest with the biggest sail, the other two were the same size with two smaller sails.

Edward walked across the deck and stopped at the middle mast, he stood up on his tip toes and grasped a peg. He lifted his leg and placed his foot on a peg closer to the bottom. He grasped another peg in his hand and pulled himself up. He climbed all the way up the mast until he reached the crows nest.

The view of the sea was breath taking, Edward felt the ocean breeze blow through his hair. The sun made the ocean sparkle. He looked back at the island, seeing it get smaller and smaller as they sailed in the direction that would unlock Edward's memories.
