REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Capsized
With the combined attack of the strong wind and waves, their ship rocked violently akin to a leaf shaking from its branch, as the torrential rain and wind gang up on it, hitting it teasingly from left and right.Two forces of nature, both held great power at each of their own very rights joined hands and were determined to not give them a rest. That was why everyone was holding for their dear life to whatever they could grab onto, out of fear that a single misstep would cause them to inadvertently end up getting tossed into the raging water below.“Have your wands ready. I don’t think our ship would hold for long..”Stating the obvious, David announced their grim situation to the group as if Audrey and her friends could not make this assessment by the
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Brush with death
Correspondingly, it was also only at this point that they realized they were still missing two of their companions.“I have not seen David and Nike since our ship capsized!”Allan’s words pulled them all back their senses. Even Niccoli could not believe himself when it dawned on him that Nike was nowhere to be seen too.‘How could I worry about a girl and put her first over my brother’s safety?’His odd behavior left him questioning his priority.Meanwhile, just as when the group was harboring a collective thought and was thinking to themselves, ‘Surely this is not the end of it yet, yes?’; another disaster incarnate caught up with them. It was almost guaranteed that by the end of their quest, Audrey and the squad could sure jot down a hell of a list from this series of unfortunate events.All this while, the group of survivors have not been made aware of the presence awaiting them in the shadows of the deep blue sea.But what else could they expect? Their life could never be allowed
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Leviathan
“We had a brief encounter with the sea monster and we tried to defeat it as soon as we arrived here.”David wore a grim expression as he described how they ran into the colossal squid.“But it was too powerful to be subdued. Even with our combined strength, we could hardly fend off its attacks.”He further explained.As it turned out, both Nike and David had been at the monster’s lair long before the group arrived and this would explain why Niccoli and the others did not catch sight of either of the gentlemen as soon as the ship keeled over. Nike revealed how they were dragged ahead of them.“It was like we fall into its trap. As soon as we jumped into the water, he took us immediately. He was just waiting for the right moment to snatch us all from our sunken ship.Leviathan was the name given to all kinds of terrors of the deep. In a sense, it was more like the generalization of all the sea monsters you could ever think of. But given that they saw their monster taking the form of ten
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Help is on the way
David at that time was left with a thought in mind, ‘No one would be able to claim the first spot should he claim that he was the second luckiest man on Earth.’ He believed he just experienced the greatest shock of his life! Not only did he outlive a Leviathan that had been terrorizing the sailors for ages; but he was also there to witness its demise firsthand. If this was not an epic story worthy to be passed down to the daughters of his daughters as well as to those who would come after them too, he did not know what else could. At first, taking part in the raid of the monster’s lair, David was surprised to know that he was not in any way afraid. Nevertheless, he was not exactly hopeful either and he figured that his indifference was probably the result of his acceptance. He already recognized it as a fact that his fate was sealed and death was inevitable. ‘At least, I would not die without fighting.’ Like chanting a mantra, that was what David would repeatedly tell himself for
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! No free ride
“I think that the thing that we should all be worried about next was how can we leave here without a ship?”Niccoli pointed out and everyone froze when this eventually dawned on them. Indeed, this question left the group baffled. How on Earth were they supposed to get back to the surface and continue going to the Isle of De Los if they did not have any ships?It was not like it was humanly possible for them to swim all the way to the surface. Yes, they might not have managed to hold their breath earlier and all the way down there to the underwater cave. However, it was mostly thanks to the monster’s speed of dragging them and a little help from their mana.However, given that they already depleted most of their mana reserve, it was already a big question, if the remaining mana would be enough to sustain them until they reached the surface.They were reluctant to put that theory to the test because if ever they miscalculated, they would pay with their lives.But good for them because j
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Bundle of David's nerves
David at that time was left with a thought in mind, ‘No one would be able to claim the first spot should he claim that he was the second luckiest man on Earth.’ It was not every day that one could get a chance to come face to face with a Leviathan, let alone say slain it. Some may even go on with their entire life time without ever having an opportunity to see one. So it was only a normal reaction for David, who, unlike Audrey’s group, never had the same bag of incredible experiences in his profile. Thus, he still could not bring himself to believe what just happened. This was probably the greatest shock of his life!Not only did he outlive a Leviathan that had been terrorizing the sailors for ages; an enigma that he only heard from stories before. But he was also there to witness its demise firsthand and what was even more shocking was that he was part of the group who had killed it! If this was not an epic story worthy to be passed down to the daughters of his daughters as well as
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! I know the place
A group of sailors boarding a cargo ship that resembled a fluyt came ashore. F or those who did not know, a fluyt was a type of sailing vessel originally designed by the shipwrights of Hoorn as a dedicated cargo vessel. Originating in the Dutch Republic in the 16th century, the vessel was designed to facilitate transoceanic delivery with maximum space and crew efficiency.“Good sir,----”David trailed off. He wanted to strike up a conversation in a graceful manner but failed miserably. He realized he was not good at making acquaintances. That was why he used to travel alone, in the first place.“---- My name is David Hale. It was a pleasure to meet another captain.”He finished. But he was aware of how bad his introduction sounded. Thankfully, the other party chose to be a bigger person and no longer comment on his awkwardness. Instead, it replied warmly,“Hello, gentlemen. Let me introduce myself, I am captain Henry Styles and these were my crew.”“Were you taken against your will as
REBIRTH: This time I will be a Witch! Truth Untold
Audrey's group took their chances and accepted help from a total stranger; but who really was this captain that goes by the name of Henry Styles?What were his secrets?Well, unbeknownst to them, their current benefactor was no other than the captain of the legendary ghost ship known as the Flying Dutchman and an antagonist in nautical folklore. Some years since, a famous captain was renowned for achieving unusual cruising speeds on his voyages. Such were his exploits at the helm that many of his contemporaries suspected him of being in league with the Devil. The story states that he deliberately implored a demon for the power to sail the seas unaffected by inclement weather. It is said the devil himself had given captain Henry Styles the power to make his ship the fastest ship on all the seas after the man sold his soul to him one night with a full moon. Since then, no ship in the record had ever traveled faster than the reckless captain's ship. Rumor has it that they can break
