(Blake's POV)

So there I was, on a boat, by myself, leaving Vale... I was just leaning against the rails but I got slightly startled from the sound of kids playing... Why was this happening to me...?

???: Traveling alone?

That voice startled me as I quickly turned around, my hand on Gambol Shroud. I slightly calmed down, when I saw it as the Captain...

Captain: Now, now. No threat here. Just here to chat.

Me: And why is that?

Captain: Well, not many people travel by boat on their own. It can be quite a lonely voyage, but I found those that do tend to have the more... interesting stories.

Me: ...Maybe it's just better for some people alone...

I got startled again from the sudden sound of screaming. I quickly turned around, scared but calmed down when I saw it was just kids playing...

Captain: *chuckles* Maybe, but with your paranoia, I think a few friendly faces wouldn't hurt.

Me: Who says I'm paranoid!?

Captain: No one dear, no one. I'll leave you be. *Begins walking away* But, uh fair warning. There trips can be awfully boring.

The Captain walked away as I looked back to the sea... I took a deep breath and began untying my bow before holding it out to the sea... No longer do I have to hide...

Me: Won't be needing this.

I let it go and watched as it drifted into the ocean... After watching it for a while, I began walking towards the bow of the ship, my cat ears now freed...

"HOME... TO MENAGERIE..."
CHAPTER 3: THE RUNNER AND THE STOWAWAY

(Blake's POV)

The sun began to set as I stared off into the waters... Suddenly, I gained a strange feeling... almost as it someone was... watching me... I quickly turned around and pointed Gambol Shroud in its SMG mode; it was a cloaked figure...

Me: Who's there!?

The figure quickly disappeared... Before I could investigate, the boat suddenly rocked violently... When I looked to the bow of the ship, I saw something... large raise from the sea... Black, red, white... A Grimm... Not just any Grimm though... It was a Sea Feilong...

I read about it in books and I knew they lived in these deep waters but I never thought I'd run into one

I read about it in books and I knew they lived in these deep waters but I never thought I'd run into one... Wait... was it my negative attitude that attracted it...?

Captain: All hands to battle stations!

I jumped off the boat, using my clone from my Semblance to boost myself up to it. I threw Gambol Shroud at it, sticking it into its head and then swung myself onto its back before shooting it and jumping back to the ship. When I stuck the landing, the Sea Feilong rushed at the ship but the Captain maneuvered the ship, Starboard side and the Sea Feilong missed. I jumped back at it, converting Gambol Shroud to its sword mode and slashed at it but the Captain fired the ship's cannons at both it and me. When I landed back on the ship, I began kneeling as I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder. The Sea Feilong tried to attack me but suddenly. Three fire Dust arrows pierced its sides and exploded, causing it to cry in pain and disorienting it slightly. I was confused until I saw a figure walk right next to me, wearing an all black outfit with silver lining... He was also holding a very familiar bladed bow and had a quiver on his back...
