Halla's point of view

After the weapons were safely put away. Auntie invited me to go with her. That's when it finally occurred to me that I had never seen Auntie's ship before.

So we made the long walk to the ship. Surprisingly or maybe not, Auntie's ship wasn't at the docks, it was on one of the shores closer to my house, but further from the village. Auntie had docked her ship by Sickle Shard beach. It was a long stretch of beach that like its name says in the shape of a sickle, however most people stay away from this beach due to the fact that underneath the sand would be small shards glass. No ones really sure where the shards came from, but they were abundant in that beach.

As we walked to the shoreline, I had to stop and try to suppress my gasp. Auntie's ship was unlike I had ever seen. It was as long as normal Viking ships or maybe it was even longer, however it was much bigger. The hull of the ship was deeper and larger than normal Viking ships. The masts were much taller and there were two of them rather than one to hold up the strange sails on the ship. The sails were cut and set up in slanted triangles. The ship was strange, but it like anything else that Auntie owned. It had mixed cultures in it. The designs on the side of the ship were odd to me, but some I could definitely tell were Vikings.

"What do you think?" asked Auntie waiting for me to catch up.

"Its like nothing I had ever seen" I said smiling at her before turning back to the ship.

I watch as Eagle and Asad dropped some of the weapons he was holding and started walking towards the shallow end of the beach. I hadn't noticed before but there was a rope dangling from the side. Eagle wasted no time scaling the side of the ship, Asad following right after. Next thing I knew they were lifting something and sliding it on the side of the boat. It was a sturdy long plank.

Eagle and Asad came down the plank and picked up the item they had dropped off, before walking up the plank again. I followed being careful not to accidently fall off the plank. 'Because that would be way to embarrassing even for me.' I thought, watching my step. Auntie's ship was bigger than any Viking ship, which just made it that much more exciting to explore, 'but I really should get going if I want to make it to-'

"Halla" Gabriel shouted right in my ear. I jumped rubbing my ears as I turned to glare at Gabriel.

"WHAT" I shouted back, still rubbing my ear scowling.

"Asad wants you"

I turn looking around the deck to notice that Asad was by a door way closer to the back of ship. He made a hand motion to me and followed noticing that most of the crew was already gone.

I followed Asad down the stairs; it was for the most part dark except for the small amount of light coming from the candles hanging on the wall. I followed Asad to one of the rooms in the lower deck; he opened the door and made another hand motion. I entered the room; it was bright due to the window that was on the side of the boat. It had two bunk beds in it that were off to the side, a big chest on both sides, and a desk by the window. Eagle was in front of the desk looking for something is one of the drawers.

"Ahh here it is" Eagle exclaimed pulling out a large brown bag.

"What is it?" I asked walking closer into the room.

"Something that may help you with your sling shot weapon"

He opened the bag spilling its context out on the desk. It was chucks of that black stone that Eagle was telling me about, but there were also other chucks of stone or ores. Asad was motioning me to come closer to the desk. I was seriously starting to wonder why he wasn't talking, but that thought was quickly pushed aside when I finally reached the desk.

"Different parts of the worlds hold different types of materials…Asad here collects large chucks of natural stone to remember where we have been. They are how to do you say…mementos."

Eagle started to explain what everything was even though I knew most of them; after all we did get traders out here from time to time. I say a huge chuck of jade and the black stones, but there were other stones as well some were bright gems or clear crystals he even had some ore of silver or steel.

"There amazing" I said, picking up a blue shaded crystal.

"Asad thought that you might appreciate them…which is why he has volunteered his collection to make ammo for your sling shot."

I stopped fiddling with the crystal "Are you serious?"

I looked towards my right and saw Asad nodded his head.

"I couldn't…I mean these are your souvenir…I can't just take them" I said, placing the crystal back on the table.

Asad walked up to the desk grabbing my hand and placed a huge chuck of black stone in it.

"I'm not going to take it, their yours?"

"So you weren't going to ask for some earlier" I looked at Eagle surprised 'how did he know?'

"You're transparent" he said casually with a shrug, "The point is Asad wants you to have them, it would be disrespectful to reject his offer."

"But I can't…I mean it may not even work…their his…I can't-"

Asad tugged at my hand bringing my attention back to him, he curled my finger around the stone and placed his larger hand over mine. He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again so instead he patted my hand.

"I can't," I said, placing the stone back on the table.

"Asad saw how upset you were when you're Aunt question your weapon choice Asad wishes to help."

I bit my lip "compromise than…I'll take the ore and the black stone, but that's it."

Asad shook his hand he grab a piece of black rock, jade, gold nugget, silver and steel ores.

"No gold, that's more for show than practicality." I said, taking the gold nugget out.

Asad shook his head and placed a large clear gem in the pile.

"A crystal won't do much" I said, Asad shook his head.

"It's a diamond the lord that we got it from gave it to Asad as a gift for protecting is wife, its one of the hardest stones discovered. It would make a fine ammo," explained Eagle.

I thought about it for a moment. "Alright Asad you got yourself a deal." I said, sticking out my hand. He looked at it for a moment before grabbing it. "And when I'm done you'll be the first to see it." I smiled and after a moment so did he.

Eagle exclaimed as he walked over to the side of the room. "we may have some other stuff for you to use well. After all we hear you are quite the inventor."

I smiled at Asad and Eagle, walking over to the chest that Eagle was kneeled in front of. 'This was going to be fun.' I thought, peeking into the chest.
