[Dont be silly. I was just feeling cold. Can't you see???? It's raining.]
Nero rolled his eyes as he harrumphed.
"Woah??? Is that so? But if I remember correctly, I knew someone here was afraid of water and.....thunder..."
[Don't get me started little lass.]
"WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"'
"Why??? I did not say it was you???"
Audrey insinuated before adding,
"But I am pretty sure that if there is anyone who hates water here, that would not be me."
She said before she burst out laughing. Audrey sure enjoys pissing her cat off since she knew that her cat does not know how to swim. It was for that reason why Nero was not exactly fond of being around any body of water. The blaring sound coming from the ship caring for the master and cat duo reverberated on a rainy night; signaling its departure as it started to sail in the stormy waters towards the Iridos.
It turned out that Sir Arthur even went to the extent of bribing a crew only to helped them sneaked inside the ship. At the same time, the ship that they boarded happened to transport items with magical background and delivers them to different places. Also, this ship serves as the medium to bring the students back to Iridos. Coincidentally the kingdom of Corona was the ship's last stop before it would set sail back to the said school.It was not hard to infer that Sir Arthur used imported magical goods to cook everything in his tavern. He has been their customer ever since he started his business, so basically, he managed to forge some connection inside the ship over time. The wind was still howling outside as huge waves knock the side of the ship every now and then. As a result, the ship sways making Audrey lost her balance. She will occasionally lean at the wall to regain her footing. The sound of creaking woods echoed as Audrey an
After some fumbling on keys as the cabin crew tries to unlock the room, the doorknob finally turns and soon a magnificent room blinded them. As soon as Audrey walks inside the room, the cabin crew bid his farewell." How did they manage to fit a room as big as this in this small corridor???"Audrey asked with a mix of bewilderment and amazement in her voice as she looks around.[ I suppose it has something to do with magic again.]The room was a stark contrast from the dark and narrow corridor with a wooden floor that keeps on creaking in protest whenever something weighs above it.The interior of the room was akin to a resort or hotel room in line with the theme of Greek mythology.The paint is a combination of white and gold and on each corner are Corinthian pillars. The room has a complete set of furniture, from bed, cl
When they look up, they saw an ornate lighting fixture suspended from the ceiling. It was akin to a chandelier, but what makes it different is that it does not have branches to hold the candles. Instead, the candles were suspended on their own. Hanging in mid-air!!![I don't know about you, but this definitely have so much 'Deja Vu' feel for me and so I cannot help but think that the vibe of this ship was like I got into some part of the movie titanic.]"Don't be silly, in what way did it resembles titanic????"[I don't know either?! I just feel like it is...]"Just forget about it. You're sending me creeps. I'm not yet over from that ship sinking part. I don't want to play Rose and Jack in the middle of this unknown water."The queen-sized bed was so tempting, it was like finding an oasis after a long walk in a desert.&
On the very next day, woken up by the sunlight that fell on her face, Audrey stirred on her bed. She even tried to cover herself under the blanket as she attempted to reposition her body finding the best spot to continue her slumber.But realizing that sleepiness escapes her already, she decided to sit up on the edge of the bed and brush away the remaining sleepiness in her eyes.She did a cursory look at the small glass window at her side and there she saw that the sun was already rising majestically outside. It was as if the heavy rain and the brewing storm last night were all part of a dream.Yet the Greek-inspired room where she was currently resting at, was foolproof evidence that everything that happened last night was all for real.She was finally heading to Iridos for real!Looking back at her bed, she saw her cat still lazing beneath the bed cover. To be pr
As if they plan to wake up all at the same time, door after door opened one by one. It did not take long for the small and narrow corridor to be crowded as all of them headed in the same direction.When they were finally out, the people scattered within the ship's deck. Minding their own business.Not knowing what to do next, Audrey decided to observe everyone first. They casually walk towards the edge of the ship's deck, using the guardrail to support her as she walks.[ Aren't we suppose to have our breakfast???? Little girl, I'm starving.]"Yeah sure, have this."She casually handed her cat the meat jerky that Sir Arthur gave last night. Then Audrey continued to look from a distance.She squinted her eyes, trying hard to look in one direction.Nero, on the other hand, feels that he was tricked into
"Who has the gut to attack the ship carrying the students of Magus Academia????" One of the passengers asked in puzzlement as he reaches inside his robe. As if on cue, the remaining number of the man left within the ship's deck reached inside their robes and took out a wand. "Wow! Everyone here is a warlock! They all knew magic!!!" Audrey shouted in amazement in her mind. But soon realization struck her. "Everyone was capable of protecting themselves, but how about me???" "It was a flock of Harpies!!!!" "Harpies?!!! Shoot! Why now?!!!" "This gonna be bloody." Heated discussion started to resurface as the remaining men in the ship's deck converse to one another. Audrey at the corner grimaced as the severity of the situation unfolds. She tried her best to shr
Audrey shivered upon meeting the said harpies for the first time. She saw the face of a woman, attached to a human head, but all humanity ended there. Because the rest of its body resembles a huge blackbird."I just hope we would not end up as one of their dinner."[ No worries, those bunch of idiots are nothing but a child's play to me...]Nero boasted as he puffs his furred chest. If he was in his panther form right now, maybe Audrey might feel the chivalry that her cat was trying to impose. But right now, Nero looks nothing but a cute little cat puffing his cute little fluffy chest."Errr.. aren't you going to transform first???"Audrey reminded her cat nicely, but Nero did not heed her advice.[Shhhh.. Trust me. We can manage. This form would do just fine]It did not take long for the Harpies to arrived. At the same time, the warlocks in
"HEEEEEEEEEELPPPP"Screamed a man as he got lifted off the ground by two Harpies. It was as if the two birds with the face of that of a woman were trying to snatch the body of the poor man to one another. They ended up tugging at both ends."NOOOOOOOOO... Please... Someone... Please make them stoooooooppppp!"The man keeps on shouting as pain assaulted his body. His cry was a mix of pain and agony. Yet no matter how hard he cried for help, it was to no avail. Everyone was busy defending themselves from the sudden onslaught of these said harpies.Audrey, on the other hand, decided that she can't watch idly as she saw the man being tortured like that." Nero!!! Quick... help him...."[I'm sorry, Audrey but I cannot. That man over there is a warlock he must have other means to survive. But you, you on the other hand don't have any
