Chapter 6: LAND!
David's P.O.V.
After weeks out on sea, we were almost of food and still no sign of land anywhere. "Darling, we are running low on food and the people are becoming weak. I don't know if we will make it," I told him worried that we would all die or get attacked and killed by Vikings before we found land.
"We will make it. Don't give up hope," he kissed my lips softly then walked out of our cabin.
I just sighed sitting down on the bed, even though I didn't believe we would ever make it to land alive. I took a few deep breaths then went outside and waited on the deck watching the never ending water, as far as I could see was water and more water with occasional dolphins, sharks, and whales in the distance or on very rare occasions giant fish.
After many hours, it was nearing dusk when I noticed something to the slightly east of us. "Babe, what is that?"
"Probably just a stupid whale again," he said looking at a compass.
I grabbed a telescope and looked out, "Land!"
Everyone turned and jumped to their feet running to where Sebastian and I were on the ship, Sebastian snatched the telescope from my hand, "Land! It is land!"
The captain turned the ship towards the land and we headed for the land. Sebastian pulled me close, "My beautiful husband this is it. We officially end another chapter here and start a new one on that island. We will grow old together, creating our own kingdom."
I looked up him, "I thought the entire plan was to not create a kingdom since you didn't want to rule."
"That was a piece of it, but someone has to control these people and I have you to do a lot of it," he told me kissing my cheek, "now we will have a lot of boys then they will carry on our name Smythe."
"Babe that's your last name not mine."
He thought about it, "Oh…well Smythe-Karofsky"
"What about Karofsky-Smythe?"
He shrugged, "We don't have kids yet and when we do his name will be Sebastian Alexander Jr."
"Why after you? And what if we have all girls?"
"Well one of us is getting pregnant and both of our families have a long history of having boys, girls are married into the family but since we are gay it gives us a double chance for some boys."
I sighed, "I suppose your right." I really wanted a girl though as our first child, I had the perfect name Leeah and I know there are two E's in the name.
We reached the island, we sent the men to explore the land to make sure it was safe. The island wasn't huge but not small island, it was also empty there was plenty of good soil for planting, lots of fruit trees we had in Alexandros so we knew they were safe to eat, and lots of animals like deer which is a good thing so we will have meet.
When the explorers returned they gave us the all clear, everyone then ran onto the island some hugged trees, kissed the ground, and cried of joy. I looked at Sebastian smiling, "This is amazing babe."
"I know," he kissed me then pulled away looking at everyone. "Now men start building homes for all of us and the women start collecting berries, apples, peaches, bananas, and other fruits we know are safe so we can all eat something. David and I are going to hunt for some meat."
They all nodded, "Yes, King Sebastian."
He smiled then handed me a weapon, "You do know how to hunt, babe."
"Of course I do. How else would I of eaten while on the streets."
He nodded and we went off hunting for some protein. We hunted for hours then returned with two large bucks which a few men skinned then gave it to the women to cook for us. We had a feast that night but slept on the ship again because we of course didn't have any shelter yet. Hopefully we will all have shelter soon.
