Well, here it is: the final part in this little series. Before I start, I wanna thank reviewers.

First, thank you amanda2324. You are the first reviewer I have had, EVER. Thanks!! Also thank you to The Light Hidden in the Shadow. You're my second reviewer ever!

And please note, this chapter may get a little sensual. No, I won't do a lemon or a lime, but it may refer to sexual behavior.

Part 3

67. Hero

When the two groups combined, they had to first establish who would be the leader. Garet, Mia and Ivan insisted Issac be in charge, While Jenna, Sheba and Piers wanted Felix to lead them. Issac and Felix secretly wished the other would be chosen, and nobody cared to hear Kraden's opinion on the matter.

68. Annoyance

She had forgotten exactly how obnoxious he could be, and as she watched him set fire to Ivan's hair in his sleep, she shook her head and wondered why she was so in love with him.

69. 67

Mia joined in the game to guess Pier's age; when she estimated the upper sixties, he gave a very ungentlemanly-like snort and told her to guess again.

70. Obsession

Jenna was hyper-aware of Garet: when he came within three feet of her, she would tense up; her eyes were continuously drawn to the muscles on his bare arms as he went around doing whatever it was he did, and the ferocity in his gaze when he fought caused her knees to grow weak and heat to rush to her face. Little did she know he was just as obsessed with her.

71. Mislead

"Sheba's naïve disposition is very misleading," Felix mused to himself as he inspected his reflection in the mirror at the inn, fingering the small bruises and growing warm at the memory of how they came to be.

72. I. Can't.

Jenna had pushed him too far. Her scent was intoxicating; and oh God, that BODICE. So once they were alone Garet wheeled around on his foot and slammed her into the wall, his arms making a cage, keeping her prisoner. His breaths came out raggedy, and he shuddered as he spoke. "Go back to your room and lock your door tonight." Garet's eyes said what his words did not, and Jenna knew what would happen if she left her door unlocked.

73. Confrontation

"I hate birds" Ivan muttered as he swung his rod at the swarm of seagulls attacking the ship.

74. Mirror

Against her better judgment, Jenna left her door unlocked. When she looked into the mirror after washing her face and saw Garet standing behind her, desire and something else burning in his eyes, she knew she had made the right choice.

75. Broken

Garet looked from the shattered vase on the floor to Jenna's slightly peeved face and shrugged; "I guess I was a little rough last night…"

76. Testament

Garet was never good with words, so the poem he left on Jenna's nightstand was poorly written and almost nonsensical. When Sheba and Mia read it, they laughed; Jenna merely smiled and thought it gave it character.

77. Drink

Lemurians were famous for holding their liquor. Issac wished he had known this before he agreed to a drinking contest with their blue haired captain.

78. Fuck

"GARET! ISSAC! WHAT DID YOU GUYS TEACH HIM?" Jenna roared as Mia sat Ivan down and explained to him "there are certain words not appropriate to say in mixed company."

79. Words

If Garet was bad with words, Felix was worse. He didn't want Sheba thinking he was only in it for the physical aspects, because he wanted so much more than that; but every time he went to tell her how he felt his words got jumbled up and refused to come out.

80. Pen and Paper

Paper was scarce, and most of it was kept in the captain's chambers. But when Piers caught Felix snooping through his room for paper, and it was explained to him that it was for a poem for Sheba, Piers snickered and Felix knew he should have asked Kraden for some.

81. +

Garet hated Kraden for making him learn all this crap. Yeah, he was gonna be mayor of Vale, and they need to know math and stuff, but they were on an adventure, for crying out loud!

82. Heal

Jenna was feeling pretty worthless; she wasn't strong like Garet and Issac and Felix were, and she didn't have high magic powers like Sheba and Ivan had, and she couldn't heal like Mia could. The feeling ate at her and ate at her until she couldn't take it anymore. But as Garet started a routine of sneaking out of his room and into hers every night, every stroke and caress and whispered word of endearment was like a balm to her wounds.

83. Cold

"How the hell do these Proxians live in a place like this? I mean, they're bloody reptiles, for heaven's sake!"

84. Sick

Jenna fell overboard one day, and ended up catching a cold. It wasn't anything major, but Garet still hovered and doted until she got better. Not that Jenna minded, or anything.

85. Seeing Red

A Harpy sliced through Sheba's torso, and Felix felt a feeling so horrifying and terrible come over him that it would only be placated by the monster's death cries.

86. Hunger

Jenna stirred the pot on the stove with an irritated scowl on her face. If that fire throwing buffoon asks one more time, I'm gonna-

"Jenna, isn't the soup done YET?"

87. Pain

Garet had heard when you cared for someone, you felt what they felt. So even though Jenna smiled and caroused like nothing was the matter, the sick feeling in his stomach told him better.

88. Through the Fire

They had surpassed many trials, and there were many more to come. But as long as they had faith and each other, not even the Wise One could stop them.

89. Triangle

Garet knew he should be jealous, but he couldn't help but feel green when Piers smiled and jested with his Jenna.

90. Drown

Jenna knew Garet couldn't swim, so when he fell off the side of the boat, she immediately jumped over after him.

91. Tomorrow

Tomorrow wasn't assured. Nothing was assured. All they had was this moment, and they cherished it.

92. Iron

Note to self: never drop your Sol Blade on your toes.

93. Soft

Garet relished in the feel of Jenna's skin next to his. It was warmer than most other's skin, which could be attributed to her affiliation; and, though her hands were rough with calluses from her sword, the rest of her was so soft Garet couldn't help but touch.

94. Advertisement

When they arrived at the inn, tasted the food and found it wanting, they decided to never trust what the fliers say EVER again.

95. Storm

Jenna had always hated thunderstorms; they always reminded her of that day all those years ago when everything she loved was taken away from her. When Garet found out, he decided never to let her alone on a stormy night, and do all he could to make her forget about the storm raging outside her porthole. It wasn't long before Jenna began to look forward to a storm.

96. Safety

Though she didn't show it, Mia was a very nervous sort of girl. Many nights she would sneak into Issac's room and just lie in his arms, hearing his heartbeat and steady breathing (she couldn't get enough of that sound) and relishing in the security his very presence offered her soul.

97. Puzzle

"Hey guys, ever noticed how all of these fallen pillars and statues and boxes in these lighthouses are all so strategically placed?"

98. Alone

Though Issac and Felix knew what they were doing as they charged the massive three-headed dragon, they couldn't help feeling lost as they initiated combat.

99. Together

As they entered the place that had once been Vale, Garet grabbed Jenna and pulled her back. "You know now that we're back, I'm never gonna let you go, right?" he whispered into her ear. She shuddered in anticipation and looked forward to tomorrow and every day after.

100. Farewell

"Well, I guess this is it… it was so wonderful to meet you all. Be sure to come visit me, and never forget the memories we have created." And with that, Piers walked up the gangplank and sailed home. The boys took up bets to see how many months it would take Piers to realize how boring Lemuria was and come back to Vale for good. Garet bet seven, Issac bet five. Ivan bet two.

Ivan won.

Fin

I am now done my first work of fiction ever! Woo hoo!
